The Obama campaign’s accusation of the Republicans engaging in a “war on women” has backfired in the worse way. The gender gap has all but vanished, and Romney is now tied with Obama among women, according to a new Associated Press poll.

 
This has backfired for the Democrats because the entire premise of a “war on women” has always been an idiotic ploy by a political party that is intellectually bankrupt. If they had given an ounce of thought to this so-called “strategery”, they might have spared themselves of the embarrassment of the last 6 months, including that four-day disgrace in Charlotte that they called their national convention. And in the name of reaching across the aisle, I will now give a list of 10 things you should keep in mind before you start accusing your opponents of engaging in a “war on women”.

1) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… your White House pays the women on staff 18% less than the men.

2) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… women who have worked for your White House have described the workplace as a “hostile work environment” and that they “felt like a piece of meat.”

3) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… you favor aborting girls for no other reason than that they are girls.

4) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… you refuse to denounce a “comedian” who gave a SuperPAC that supports your campaign $1 million and calls women c*nt, tw*t, and other vulgar names.

5) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… you appear on Letterman’s late night show days after he made a “joke” about raping Sarah Palin’s underage daughter and if you appear on Fallon’s late night show days after he played the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” when introducing Michele Bachmann.

6) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… you voted “present” on a bill that would prevent victims of sexual assault from having the details of the case revealed publicly.

7) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… you were the only state Senator to vote against a bill that prohibited convicted criminal sex abusers from getting early release.

8) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… the spokesperson for said war is a 30-year-old law student who has eschewed earning a living so she can be an advocate for forcing the Catholic Church to subsidize her sex-life and her total lack of self-control.

9) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… your definition of a “war on women” means opposing abortion (rape exceptions or not).

10) You Should Not Accuse Your Opponent of Engaging in a “War on Women” if… you’re the leader of a political party that reduces women to being walking lady parts, sexual fanatics, and aborto-fanatics.

The fact that Obama hung his entire re-election on this absolutely preposterous idea tells you that he is completely bereft of original ideas that he can tell the American people about. The closing of the gender gap along with the lead Romney is opening up in the battleground states (including the fact there are battleground states that should be this close) tells anyone who cares to look objectively that the Golden Boy is precipitously going down in flames. Maybe he should try putting out the flames of his smoldering campaign instead of opening up a can of gasoline.
