Andrea Tantaros Election Sour Grapes: Women Are One-Issue Voting Sluts!

Andrea Tantaros joined the Fox News Sore Losers Club yesterday as she went on a rant that suggested that women only voted for President Obama because they wanted free birth control and that Obama exploited them by indulging their filthy habits!

On yesterday's The Five, Tantaros had this exchange with co-host Bob Beckel:

Tantaros: They say that we should have courted Latino voters, and while I think of a ton of things the Republican Party could have done - I mean, George W. Bush did more for immigration than President Obama did, and you look at these demographics that everyone keeps talking about…

How did Obama reach out to these demographics? He reached out to them through student loans, through amnesty programs for younger Hispanics, he went and - birth control is the biggest thing. I mean, for Sandra Fluke to have a primetime speaking role, at the Democratic convention when unemployment is almost eight percent would have been absurd in typical standards of politics. But this was deemed brilliant, and it worked, and guess what we had?

We didn’t just have poor women saying “I want free birth control,” we had women who could actually afford birth control- suburban, college educated women turn out and say “I want free birth control.” So this dependency politics is now in suburban bedrooms.

Beckel: (with Tantaros trying to talk over him) How do you account for 20 years of a gender gap?

Tantaros: It was goodies to even out those demographics that they said Republicans should reach out to. That’s how he got them... Well, they didn’t just traditionally vote for the longest time; Now he’s motivated them to vote, and how did he get them out? Turns out they are one-issue voters!

I keep hearing this about single women voters, and it’s so insulting. For me (a single woman and registered Independent), in addition to the many other issues on which I disagreed with M.R., I was thinking about the future… Who knows what other civil liberties issues await us around the corner? And with faith-based (although I daresay Paul Ryan probably adheres to Ayn Rand’s atheism deep down) crazies at the helm, what with choosing Supreme Court justices in the mix, we would be at risk of losing more rights with regard to issues that aren’t even up for debate right now.

How totally insulting that this woman calls those of us who carefully thought out our vote and measured our values against the candidates’ “one-issue voters”! I get the feeling many card-carrying Republicans were one-issue voters as well — the single issue being “I Don’t want Obama No Matter What” (and in Fox News’ nut-jobs’ case “And I Will Try to Have Obama Defeated by Any Means Necessary”).

Good grief…

No pinches mames!

Either way you look at it, Obama has deported more undocumented immigrants than Dumbya did and also has implemented a more compassionate policy for those who were brought as kids into the USA.

Y la pendejada esa de “violacion legitima”?

Oh, that went really well. Considering Mittens was too stupid to distance himself from such stench and just said – I don’t share that opinion.

Please, keep wondering what went wrong and insisting on repeating the same BS. Keep telling women they ought to stay at home, subservient to their men and not having enough intelligence to vote.

Equal pay? According to the gNOpigs, that is Affirmative Action and it is wrong; it is right there in the buyble and that is why Joseph Smith was entitled to have several Stepford wives.

We need to rename this party which reminds me so much of the ‘Know Nothing’ party of long ago. Let’s call them the ‘Think Nothing’ party. These people hate being wrong so much that they just can’t stop the deluding themselves. Ahh so much schadenfreude.

Last week at this time I felt the odds and especially the polls were in President Obamaâs favor. What Iâm enjoying so much about the results is that Fox and those on the right really believed or convinced themselves that Mitt was going to win. We knew it was going to be close, and I definitely didnât take victory as a sure thing. It is one thing to think with your heart, which is understandable, but itâs more important to use your head. They obviously did not.

Iâm shocked that theyâre shocked that they didnât win, which makes this the more enjoyable for us.

I like the way she thinks. Here’s hoping the dopes on the fringe continue to grasp at said straws until the next century.
