John Boehner Says The GOP Should Be More 'Sensitive' To Women, Support Gay Candidates
White House press secretary Jay Carney said during his daily briefing later Thursday that the GOP is going to need more than talking points if they want to win over women.
If Republicans truly want to help women, he said, they should vote to raise the minimum wage, which would disproportionately benefit women. He continued that GOP lawmakers should also stop trying to repeal Obamacare, which prohibits insurance companies from charging women double for insurance policies that men receive.
"The problem that Republicans have had with women isn't about language," Carney said, "it's about policies."

(10,857 posts)I applaud the Republican Party for taking a moment away from their efforts to impoverish and shorten the lives of their victims to contemplate the results of failing to achieve those aims.
If we are very lucky, they will believe their own tripe, invest heavily in "reaching out" in their typically condescending, insincere, and ham-fisted way, and accelerate their own demise, which cannot come quickly enough.
