A Repub woman was on "on Point" bemoaning the Rush story saying that Republicans were "winning the

argument on "Religious Liberty and Contraception" before Rush popped off. She is full of crap. Republicans were losing the argument because of articulate women like Sandra Fluke and that is exactly why he attacked her. Rush doesn't attack women that viciously when Republicans are winning the argument. She was effective and he took it upon himself to take her down.

was asked how she felt about keeping sex within the confines of marriage? I can't recall her exact words, but the sentiment was clearly that anyone who thinks it's possible to legislate when or when someone can or can't have sex is crazy.

and no matter how hard they tried to make it about something else, it just never was, for most people and certainly most women.

Now that the whole social wedge issue has well and truly blown up in their faces, it's easy to find the craziest "voice" in the crowd and say "See, we never believed THAT!"

They weren't winning the argument before Rush weighed in, and they can't really blame losing it on him and his comments.

"'religious' 'freedom'" as asserted by "men" for women and our bodies as encapsulated in "the pill."

That's okay. We'll get back to them when we've pulverized ol' cyst-prone, asswipe...or...he "chokes to death" on his own bile. I have no preference for one over the other. Either would be a nice outcome.

They will make him the scapegoat and drum him out of the party.
It couldn't happen to a more deserving "person". (or whatever it is that he is.)

When you bring your whole team crashing down in a pile of game-ending injuries, that's called a most epic fail.
