\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: On CNN\u2019s New Day this morning. The guest is CNN\u2019s own chief national correspondent John King. And they\u2019re talking about the women\u2019s vote and the shrinking gender gap, and they\u2019re very, very worried. They see this AP poll that shows people support Republicans, women, 42 to 40 over Democrats. They see the gender gap has gone away, and they thought they owned it. They thought they had made this so-called Republican War on Women stick. Now it\u2019s disappearing and they know it means disaster, and so they\u2019re talking about it on CNN today.<\/p>\n

KING: You have to stretch the gender gap as far as they can stretch it. That is the key: Get women to vote, hope that men don\u2019t vote because they\u2019re discouraged. If you have a huge gender gap in these races, Democrats have a chance. If it shrinks — and polls, again, show the focus on security issues — the gender gap comes back toward Republicans a little bit. That\u2019s the big battleground in the last 13 days.<\/p>\n

CUOMO: It\u2019s always boggled my mind, that of all the things wives can get men to do, voting all of a sudden they have absolutely no control. You always hear the wife\u2019s lament that, “Oh, I won\u2019t even talk to him about politics.”<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: That was Chris Cuomo there, by the way. Now, is there a little sexism in there? Chris Cuomo lamenting why can\u2019t wives tell their husbands to vote Democrat? Wives tell their husbands everything else to do, why don\u2019t they tell them to vote Democrat? And this of course is the objective. I don\u2019t have an opinion about anything host of CNN\u2019s New Day, Chris Cuomo…<\/p>\n

So they\u2019re worried about this vanishing gender gap. Yeah, John King says, if it shrinks and the polls show the focus on security issues, the gender gap comes back toward Republicans. That\u2019s gonna be the big battleground. Yeah, that and the black vote and the Democrats are on the short end of the stick on both of them, at least according to polling data. <\/p>\n

But Chris Cuomo, “It always boggles my mind, with all these things wives can get men to do, why can\u2019t they get them to vote Democrat.” What is his impression of most marriages, that the women run the show? That the women are telling their husbands what to do, when to do it, how to do it, what not to do, when not to do it, and what\u2019s gonna happen if they do do it? Is that what he means, women run relationships? Except when it comes to voting, and for some reason they don\u2019t care and they let their stupid husbands do whatever they want instead of getting their minds right? <\/p>\n

This is a liberal. This is a guy who\u2019s supposed to understand. This is sexist talk. You\u2019re not supposed to look at women and men this way. They\u2019re all the same. Women telling men what to do, men telling women what to. Doesn\u2019t happen. Men and women, they\u2019re not different. <\/p>\n

<\/a>So given they brought this up, let\u2019s go back. Let\u2019s go back to Monday morning on MSNBC and Morning Joe and talking about the recent polls that show that Democrats are struggling with women in the upcoming election. The cohost, Mika Brzezinski, says to Tina Brown<\/a>, “What do you think is behind these numbers, the Democrats losing women, Tina?”<\/p>\n

BROWN: Particularly for women, I don\u2019t think he makes them feel safe. They\u2019re feeling unsafe. They feel unsafe economically. They\u2019re feeling unsafe with regard to the ISIS. They\u2019re feeling unsafe about Ebola. What they feel unsafe about is the government response to different crises. And I think that they\u2019re beginning to feel a bit that Obama\u2019s like that guy in the corner office who\u2019s too cool for school, calls a meeting, says this has to change, doesn\u2019t put anything in place to make sure it does change. Then it goes wrong, and he\u2019s blaming everybody.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. That\u2019s an indictment on Obama. He\u2019s making women feel unsafe about everything, and he doesn\u2019t take any accountability for anything. He\u2019s always blaming somebody else. Gosh, this Obama guy is really a failure. Last night on Hannity, Sarah Palin showed up. She had a comment about this. Question: “What\u2019s your reaction to what Tina Brown said?”<\/p>\n

PALIN: Well, ironic, because that little lady, Tina Brown, she is such a big part of the problem. She and her ilk being so uber uppity and so cocksure of their untouchable elitism, they — who support liberal men who have kept women, unfortunately, kind of embracing this lie that they should be dependent upon government. So Tina Brown, chick, you\u2019re a day late and a dollar short. They\u2019ve been beating the crap out of strong common sense, smart conservative women for years, she and her ilk. So again, day late and a dollar short, Tina.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s a good point. What she\u2019s saying is, what is this women feel unsafe because of a president? Women can take charge of their lives. I thought that\u2019s what women were supposed to do. I thought feminism was about not depending on a man or a relationship, or anything else. Feminism was about counting on yourself. Feminism was about setting and charting your own course. Feminism was about doing what you want to do, when you want to do it, how you want to do it, and nobody can stop you. Feminism is not about how the first black president makes you feel unsafe. What\u2019s that? <\/p>\n

And Palin\u2019s point is, we\u2019ve got a lot of really, strong, tough, independent, brilliant conservative Republican women, and they\u2019re dumped on all the time by people like Tina Brown, as traitors to the feminist cause, or worse. But it is a good question. What kind of women are these that run around feeling unsafe because of Barack Obama? Now, I mean as she meant it. A lot of us feel threatened by Obama and his policies. Obamacare, the economy, I mean, he\u2019s put a lot of obstacles in people\u2019s way here. But that\u2019s not what she\u2019s talking about. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s talking about unsafe in the sense of security. Government is supposed to make women feel safe and secure and because government will provide all the safety and security and the economic needs, and therefore women can live lives free of disgusting men, insulting predators and so forth. But Obama\u2019s letting \u2019em down, and so these women are exposed. These women are naked out there in the world, and they\u2019re vulnerable, and anything bad can happen and they feel unsafe because of Obama. It just doesn\u2019t sound like the construct of feminism I always thought they believed in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
