It's simple. A week ago, the White House had screwed things up so badly that the GOP had a golden issue handed to them. They cast it as the government forcing companies to implement health care policies that conflicted with the management's religion. The White House unaccountably missed casting it as management forcing their religious beliefs on their employees.

The GOP had five experts testify. None of the experts had ever had a period or been pregnant or personally used any BC methods except condoms and abstinence. They excluded women altogether. STILL the GOP had the upper hand.

Then Limbaugh stepped in. In three short days, he had destroyed the issue the GOP had in their hands. He made the GOP look anti-woman and showed Romney with a spine of Jello. So who will they blame?

They can't blame Rush. That's heresy in the GOP.
They can't blame themselves. That'd be admitting a mistake.
They can't blame Fluke. A 30 year old student, female at that, making the GOP look like idiots?

No, they needed to blame a sinister clandestine Democratic plot at the highest levels.

Aren't Spain, France and Italy still under socialists, also? Sorry. I don't keep up with world politics.

Yes you are right but your post seem to indicate that you do keep up on the world of politics.

Despite the mascara and eyeliner and lipstick russia is still socialist. The former russian satellites have varrying degrees of socialism.
It is also alive and well in china and n.korea.
The conflict between the capitalist and the socialist is still alive and well with the socialist seeming to gain a bit here and there and the capitalist using military force or the threat there of to hold it's market share.
Same shit different flies.

They surprise you.  Fluke is now apparently a White House plant.

Ya, on another thread we were discussing a scurrilous article in The Blaze that made that insinuation.

Best possible witness ever? Yes

Plant? Pfft.

Are the Democrats making political hay from the Republican's War on Women? Sure, why not?

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP's War on Women

[Early 2011]

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't yet. Shocker.

2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."

3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)

4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.

5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.

6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.

7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.

8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.

9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.

10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).
