Losing the War on Women

According to Mike Flynn at Breitbart, WaPo is using its latest poll to blat that Obama is beating Romney by 2 points, 49-47.

But the poll sample included only 22% Republicans. Gallup shows 28% of Americans currently self-identify as Republican.

And, as Flynn notes, if only 22% of actual voters next November are Republicans,

“it would be about the lowest turnout for the GOP in modern history. In 2010, 35% of voters were Republican. In 2008, the year Obama swept into the White House, 32% of voters were Republican. Even in 2006, the year Democrats took control of Congress, 36% of voters were Republican.”

Still , according to analysts, WaPo’s bias is consistent, which means changes within WaPo polls are actually meaningful.

Check out what happened to Obama’s favorability among women over the time period in which the White House and its media kennels ranted that Republicans just want women to be Stepford Wives:

Obama lost 6 points to Romney among women registered to vote.

Obama lost 21 points to Romney among married women!

    As you know, the Dems took majority control in January 2007, then doubled the deficit in FY 2008 (from $501 Billion in FY 2007 to $1,014 Billion [$1.014 Trillion] in FY 2008), and then they took it up to $1,885 Billion ($1.885 Trillion) in FY 2009.

    The Omnibus Appropriations Act for FY 2009 was:
    1) Passed by a 59% Democratic House
    2) Passed by a 59% Democratic Senate, and
    3) Signed by Obama, not Bush

    But now, JournOlisters want to blame FY 2008 and FY 2009 on Bush, set FY 2009 as the baseline, and claim that Obama has not increased spending much since he “inherited” FY 2009 from Bush.

    Here is a lefty example:
    Obama spending binge never happened
