No choice for you!
The GOP vowed to "rebrand" itself with voters who hate them, including brown people, young people, and ... women:
5. Republicans should develop a more aggressive response to Democrat rhetoric regarding a so-called "war on women." [...]
6. Republicans need to talk about people and families, not just numbers and statistics.
Female voters want to hear the facts; many of them run the economies of their homes
and understand economics better than the men in their families. But they are also the
caregivers for their families. Women need to hear what our motive is — why it is that
we want to create a better future for our families and how our policies will affect the lives of their loved ones.
Fittingly writing at sleepy Red State (motto: "can we borrow some of Breitbart's thunder?"), Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is trying some of that "rebranding" magic on the ladies:
Media Covers up Democrat-Backed Planned Parenthood’s Support for Infanticide
As Digby
says:
We're back to the infanticide propaganda, their go-to horror story to make people reflexively connect zygotes with the Gerber Baby and condemn Planned Parenthood as an institution of mass murder.
Women are a majority of voters, 53-47 the last election. And they opted for Barack Obama by a whopping 55-44 margin. It's imperative for Republicans to do better with this cohort. Yet here they are, just weeks after acknowledging their failure with women voters, going back to the same tired playbook that lost them 2012. Why?
Could it possibly be the outburst of anger from the GOP's social wing in the wake of the release of that report? With Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee and Gary Bauer and the rest of the GOP's crazy social wing up in arms, perhaps Priebus thought that this love letter in a low-trafficked conservative backwater would help repair the damage.
Of course, this means that Priebus' own rebranding document is no longer operative.
Not that it ever was.
