NY Times poll shows there's no "war on women", not even close

Your post contained EXACTLY ZERO specific quotes from specific "Republican leaders".

If 1% of independents switch sides b/c of this war on woman, the Repubs are toast.

I posted that earlier

Here are 2 more:

"Representative Judy Biggert, Republican of Illinois, said, “We should keep our focus on economic growth and jobs, instead of getting sidetracked by issues that divide us.”

Representative Tom Reed, Republican of New York, disagrees with the president’s policy. But he said: “We have clearly staked out our opposition to it. It’s time to move on to other issues, like jobs and the economy.”

First of all, I've never heard of either of these 2, so they're not "leaders of the Republican party". Second of all, neither one of them conceded that there is a war on women.

You said that the Republican leadership views this as a war on women. Nothing you posted even comes close to supporting that.

But I agree, it's crazy to spend so much time talking about consoms, we have bigger issues. But liberals want to focus on this, so that no one is talking about unemployment, debt, or gas prices.
