| 2012 was a rough year for the Republican Party’s relationship with women. From Missouri Senate nominee Todd Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments to the party’s efforts to cut funding for preventative care (particularly important for women seeking cancer screenings and the like) to Rep. Darrell Issa’s all-male panel on contraception mandates and religious liberty — and the subsequent attacks from Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing voices on Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, whom Issa had barred from the hearing — the GOP repeatedly showed a less-than-impressive concern for women’s

Comments: The world has truly turned on its axis. Of course, without input from PIAPS on women´s issues, what can be done?

The White House’s Flickr account recently released a photo of President Barack Obama and his top advisers. The complete absence of women in the image is another reminder that females are underrepresented in Obama’s staff.
The world is upside down.

Written by a woman of course - no, wait, this is written by an ignorant lefty man who thinks he can get in good with the ladies if he parrots the non-thinking lefty "War on Women" pap.
There are Republican women in both the House and Senate and no one but the MSM ignores any of them. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, anyone?

Liberals continue to falsely believe ALL women have the values of Code Pink (or academics that claim to be part Cherokee). I think they meant to say Republicans continue to ignore "hairy militant socialist women".
Democrats continue to be at war with females who have not yet emerged from the womb.

They don´t call the GOP the stupid party for nothing. Women will simply no longer tolerate being treated like second class citizens. Akin has become a symbol of what a backward segment of the GOP really stands for - and unless corrected, consciously, it will lead to further losses.

Bringing either slaves or masters on demand into the world while she cooks, cleans and scrapes with her slave daughters, or serves at the pleasure of her goat chasing sons.
But submitting to life in the USA under the Republicans would truly be unbearable. /s

Well, whether or not you want to hear it or believe it, the GOP is perceived as anti-woman by a lot of women. The women I work with said they were insulted by Romney´s comments about single moms (among other things) --many of them were raised by or are single mothers. We´re not going to win over hearts and minds insulting people. It´s stupid.

Agreed, with today´s low information voters (aka morons), perception is everything. The Democrats prevailed with the phony "War on Women", and it evidently worked. So what does the GOP do, opt for abortion on demand and free contraceptives and day care for all?
The GOP will never out-pander the Democrats, on any issue, to any government-dependent voting demographic, ever.
So we´re toast.

Apparently ( and not from this article ), the bill now includes new protections ( ? ) for violence against illegal immigrant women , LGBT and Native American women attacked on reservations Cantor objects to language in the bill which gives Native American tribes jurisdiction over rape cases involving non Native Americans . Currently, federal and state law enforcement have jurisdiction over domestic violence on tribal lands, Again , not from this article, Cantor has been working with Biden to resolve the issue . The media does not report accurately and spins to the Democrat´s talking points , which always puts the Republicans at a severe disadvantage.

#23, I can just imagine the skewed views from that group about men, husbands and fathers. I´m sure they think they are somehow wiser because they had a screwed up childhood, but the fact is they missed a vital part of family life. They are damaged, not special and certainly not better because they didn´t have responsible parents. Oh well, it´s another new normal, I don´t get.

This article is simply "Rat Droppings"! The D´rats control half the witness list for Issa´s committee. After Maloney´s outburst Issa advised the Rats to put forward new witnesses. But rules are that new witnesses must wait 72 hours til the committe allows if they have useful testimony. Well the rules didn´t suit the Santa party. So they took Trick Pony Fluke to a Democrat organizational meeting and filmed a staged, bogus hearing.

“He was not radical at all,” Taramov told WESH-TV. He added that the FBI had been tracking Todashev since the Boston bombings. At some point, Todashev moved to Florida. He was arrested for aggravated battery this month, according to police records, after getting into a fight with a man in a parking lot. When the FBI agent and others arrived at his apartment early Wednesday, the law enforcement officials said Todashev initially was cooperative. They said he appeared on the verge of signing a confession to the killings of three people in Waltham in September 2011.

Jerusalem - Israel´s air force chief says his troops need to be ready to act quickly in case of an attack from Syria. The remarks by Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel Wednesday echo statements by Israel´s military chief of staff a day earlier. Eshel warned escalation could lead to a "surprise war." He said Russian S-300 air defense systems are "on their way" to Syria, though Israel asked Russia not to supply them. Israel is concerned the Syrian civil war could spill across its border. Syrian and Israeli forces briefly exchanged fire on the Golan Heights border Tuesday. Israel has warned it will not tolerate fire from Syria

Kaitlyn Hunt was arrested Feb. 16 for having a physical relationship with a younger classmate, who was her girlfriend at the time, mom Kelley Hunt Smith wrote on Facebook. Under Florida law, Hunt could see up to 15 years in prison and must register as a sex offender. A plea deal, however, remains on the table that would give Hunt two years´ house arrest and one year of probation, her family said. “Does my daughter deserve to lose her life for

As the impasse over Tehran’s nuclear program worsens, those most likely to be directly affected by an Iranian bomb are showing greater alarm. While the media fixates on Israel and its possible reaction, other regional players have no less at stake. Despite Riyadh’s long-held advocacy of making the Middle East a zone free of weapons of mass destruction, there has been much speculation in the past few years about the possibility of its acquiring, or developing, nuclear weapons should Tehran obtain the bomb. In the words of Saudi King Abdullah: “If Iran developed nuclear weapons (...) everyone in the

Dubai - Iranian authorities executed two men on Sunday convicted of working for Israeli and U.S. spy agencies, Iran’s Fars news agency reported. Mohammad Heidari, accused of passing security-related in formation and secrets to Israeli Mossad agents in exchange for money, and Kourosh Ahmadi, accused of gathering information for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, were hanged at dawn, it said. The sentence for their execution was handed down by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court and confirmed by the country’s Supreme Court. The report did not say when the pair were arrested nor when their trial took place.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
