Romney to Women: Vote For the Other Guy

     Yes he said that-literally. He's that desperate to nail down the Right wing vote and out-Santorum Santorum.

      Is he really this clueless? Does he honestly have no concern about the votes of women-the statistical majority? That's what he said though. After a few women questioned him and one declared she wanted free birth control, the rich man who was born with a silver spoon in his piously answered "If you want free stuff, vote for the other guy."

     He has no concern that women may do that? Does he have any plan at all to stem the tide? Yes as it turns out. We saw it tonight at his campaign speech after winning Chicago. He had his wife speak.

     This evidently is his and Santorum's last line of defense-having his wife by his side. It's ok to vote for Mitt Romney. He's promised to end Planned Parenthood but he brings his wife to his campaign stops.

       "Beyond simply threatening Planned Parenthood, which provides necessary health care for millions of women, Romney has also called for cutting funds for Title X — the only federal program devoted to family planning — from the federal budget. He endorsed the so-called Blunt amendment to allow any employer to drop health insurance coverage for contraception and other health services on moral grounds, and spoke out against requiring employers and insurers to provide birth control coverage in their health care plans at no additional cost. Given that track record, many women and health advocates may indeed be inclined to “vote for the other guy.”

      Yeah, he's doubling down. He's making a big gamble-that women care more about seeing him with his wife than health care and reproductive freedom.
