Republican sexism is not only helping Democrats build support and votes. It is also funnelling millions of dollars into Democratic candidates’ campaign funds. What Republicans have been doing with the war on women is more than morally wrong. This attempt to turn back the clock to a time when, “a woman’s place is in the home” is more than ill advised.

It’s politically stupid.

This mutant campaign against women’s right is the logical evolution of the anti-abortion movement, and the family values Republicans of decades past. These are the same extremists who rose to prominence within the Republican Party in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The difference between then and now is that there are no moderate Republicans to keep them in check. The social conservative extremists run the party now.

This has resulted in a wave of anti-women candidates and legislation at a time when women make up the majority of the electorate. It all means that this hateful campaign against women’s rights is costing the Republican Party elections.

1. Now if only we could get

those women to the polls this election. We sure could use a few less rethugs in congress and we can't afford to lose the senate. If there were a higher turnout for mid-term elections than usual, we just might be able to do it.
