Sometimes the disconnect is obvious; other times the cognitive dissonance is fusion grade. Chuck Schumer proclaims because everyone is talking about the ‘war on women’ it’s a sure indicator no-one cares about ObamaCare any more…
…. except it ain’t ! But God Bless em’ they keep trying to make it so.
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Democrats’ messaging and political strategy guru, declared Tuesday that Democrats had turned the corner on the Affordable Care Act.
“This week, the talk is pay equity, not ACA,” he said, referring to the Affordable Care Act. “We’re going to have more and more weeks like that because we’re talking about thing that people really care about.”
The Senate will vote Wednesday on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who make inquiries about colleagues’ pay. (link)
Here’s a recap of their efforts:
Harry Reid Blames Koch Brothers For Women Earning Less Than Men

Dianne Feinstein proclaims criticism of her is “sexism”:
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein fired back against former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden and his comments that she is “emotional,” calling it an “old male fallback position.” (link)
Dems Proclaim “Equal Pay Day”:
Democrats are trying to get the female vote in November with a public relations campaign about “equal pay for equal work,” yet they are not practicing what they preach. The White House and Senate Democratic leaders employ fewer women as top aides, so they earn less. (link)
And what “War On Women” meme would be complete without Sandra Fluke:
Sorry Dems – Despite your claims to the contrary Obamacare still sucks:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 23% of Likely U.S. Voters view Obamacare as a success so far. Twice as many (46%) describe the health care law as a failure. For 29%, it’s somewhere in between the two.
Given the problems with the new law, a plurality (44%) of voters still believes Congress and the president should repeal it and start over again. Nearly as many (39%) think they should go through the law piece by piece to improve it. Just 15% say they should leave the law as it is.
Support for leaving the law as is hasn’t changed since late last year. But 50% at that time favored repeal and starting over again, while 31% said Congress and the president should go through the law piece by piece to improve it. (link)
