Women Voters Are Ignorant Dupes
According to the DNC...
By Mark Alexander · Apr. 23, 2014
“Let each citizen remember at the
moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment
to please an individual – or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he
is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is
accountable to God and his country.” –Samuel Adams (1781)
The DNC's Wasserman-Schultz
Female voters are too ignorant to
sniff out and reject emotive bait … clearly the underlying assumption held by
the Democrat National Committee.
Recall that in 2012 Barack Obama won the
female vote 55% to 44% over Mitt Romney, with single women choosing Obama by a
whopping 68% to 30% margin. The Democrats are counting on that calculus because
female majorities have elected every Democrat president since 1960 and have
been a major force in midterm elections.
In order to firm up one of his
most dependable “grievance” voter constituencies, Obama is baiting ballot hooks
with what Demo strategists insist is an irresistible lure for catching a
majority of female voters – the “equal pay for equal work” ploy from the phony “war on women” chapter of their tried
and true Politics of Disparity
political playbook.
That enticement is a variation on
the Democrat Party’s “income inequality” rhetoric. This includes rolling out two more executive
orders, the latest concerning wage disparity, even though equal pay for equal
work is already the law.
Recall, if you will, that to
foment class warfare sentiments
among the proletariat, Obama declared that the “defining challenge of our time”
is income inequality, and he promised to make that the focus “for the rest of
my presidency.”
Never mind that, in a side-by-side
compensation comparison corrected for experience, college major, time on the
job, type of job, risk of injury and the like, the wage gap between women and men is not 23 cents for every dollar a man
earns, as Obama and his minions have falsely and repeatedly claimed. Indeed,
when corrected for these factors, the disparity all but vanishes. Even the
liberal Washington Post has awarded Obama “Two Pinocchios” for this repeated
“77 cents on the dollar” falsehood.
In calling Obama out on this
latest in his long list of lies, Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler wrote, “Unless
women stop getting married and having children, and start abandoning careers in
childhood education for naval architecture, this huge gap in wages will almost
certainly persist. Democrats thus can keep bringing it up every two years. …
[Obama] must acknowledge that average annual wages do not begin to capture what
is actually happening in the work force and society.”
As he trolls for the female vote,
Obama also conveniently ignores the fact that far more men than women have lost
jobs during the “Obama economic recovery,” with millions suffering a 100% reduction of income since
this president took office.
Further complicating matters for
the White House, spokesman Jay Carney was at a loss for words when confronted
in a press briefing with a new report that among Obama’s White House staffers,
the median salary for females was 12% lower than male staffers.
Carney insisted, “We have as an
institution here, have aggressively addressed this challenge, and obviously,
though, at the 88 cents that you cite, that is not a hundred, but it is better
than the national average. And when it comes to the bottom line, women who do
the same work as men have to be paid the same, there is no question that that
is happening here at the White House at every level.”
In effect, Carney undercut Obama’s
wage-gap ploy by acknowledging that “women who do the same work as men have to
be paid the same.” That is the law. And across the nation, the wage parity gap
is very narrow.
University
of Michigan economist Mark Perry notes that references to the median
salary between men and women are “meaningless” and concludes that the pay gap
between Obama’s staffers is not based on discrimination, but “based on the fact
that women and men are playing different roles within the organization.”
And now comes word that the
gender-pay gap for staffers on the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee,
which is endeavoring to advance Obama’s income inequality deception, is worse
than that “national average” Obama keeps repeating. In fact, women at the DSCC
are only paid 70 cents for every dollar their male counterparts collect.
Oh, and Obama’s Republican
predecessor, George W. Bush, appointed six women to cabinet-level posts, while
only three of Obama’s cabinet posts are filled by females.
All this being said, the facts are
irrelevant if Obama and his Leftist cadres are
correct in their assumption that a majority of women voters are too ignorant to
discern between truth and fiction, and are incapable of forming an original
thought.
Of course, that “ignorant”
assumption equally applies to most Democrat voters of either gender (and all
those gender-confused constituents
in between). This is demonstrably true of the party’s
delusional leading ladies: DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Michelle
Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth “Honest Injun” Warren, Dianne
Feinstein, Maxine Waters and, of course, Hillary Clinton.
Consider this sampling of erudite
wisdom from this gaggle of Demos…
Wasserman Schultz on the
difference in Democrats and the racist Tea Party folks: “The
difference between the way we express our First Amendment rights and the way
I’ve seen Tea Party extremists express their right is dramatically different. I
don’t see any swastikas or any pictures of the president in black face or burned
in effigy here.”
Boxer on life after death: “Those
who survived the San Francisco
earthquake said, ‘Thank God, I’m still alive.’ But, of course, those who died,
their lives will never be the same again.”
Maxine Waters on Democratic Socialism:
“Guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal will be about
socializing … uh, um … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the
government running all of your companies.”
Warren, the Left’s
standard-bearer, on Obama’s infamous assertion “You didn’t build that”:
“People worked hard, they built a business, God bless, but they moved their
goods on roads the rest of us helped build, they hired employees the rest of us
helped educate, they plugged into a power grid the rest of us helped build.”
Feinstein on “sensible gun control policy”: “Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all
Americans to feel safe.”
MObama on Barack’s wage gap
nonsense: “He signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act into law to
help women get equal pay for equal work, because he knows what that pay means
to families.” (Apparently he does NOT know what losing a job means to families.)
Bill Clinton’s heir apparent, Hillary, on the long list of women he
sexually molested: “Who is going to find out? These women are trash. Nobody’s
going to believe them.”
And a Hillary bonus quote: “We are
going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. … God bless
the America
we are trying to create.”
So what’s the GOP to do?
The bottom line is that any GOP candidate who
can clearly articulate why Liberty and free enterprise are winning goals for
women and their families, and who is strong, of good character and trustworthy,
will attract enough voters, male and female, to defeat Obama’s socialist propaganda machine.
And a footnote: Unlike contemporary leftists, you
won’t find genuine Conservatives playing the gender-bait game. We choose our iconic leaders
based on their record in support of Essential Liberty. Thus,
there are many conservative leading ladies on my list – right up top next to Ronald Reagan would
be Margaret Thatcher. And today’s conservative women are among the most
articulate and forthright advocates of Liberty.
