The President of the US: 2016

Is there any sense that the idiotic extremism of the Right in assailing women's rights is a winning strategy for the GOP? Clearly, so far, GOP strategists warnings that this is a losing battle, are being ignored by lawmakers and candidates.

Here's the proof. The endless discussions of the evils of contraception by so-called mainstream Presidential candidates like Rick Santorum (on contraception: "It's not okay"), and the fact that Romney has stated his support for a constitutional amendment to define life beginning at conception which would, by definition make the birth control pill illegal. In case you don't know, which let's admit Mr Romney clearly doesn't know, that the birth control pill actually allows a woman's eggs to be fertilized, but those fertilized eggs are not implanted in the uterus - so the fertilized eggs are removed during a woman's menses each month. Romney clearly doesn't understand that, or if he does, he's lying when he says he supports a woman's right to birth control. His quote above that he "...believes that life starts at conception, and birth control prevents conception" is clearly factually wrong. But let's be honest, clearly this whole moronic discussion we are having is terrible for the GOP - and I'm all for that no matter the topic.

So how is the GOP doing with women in swing states at present versus President Obama? While Obama and Romney split the vote of men, Obama has an overwhelming lead among women in swing states. This issue is killing the GOP, to which I stand and applaud. And Santorum? Fuhget about it, that's electoral landslide territory.

I truly hope the GOP continues this war on women's rights. Empirically, it's a death march. And it could mean that this articulate woman could become the President in 2016.
