[LEFT]New York Sen. Chuck Schumer schemes to hit GOP on more wedge issues - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com



[LEFT]Schumer has a plan for painting Republicans as anti-immigrant and anti-women.
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer believes he has found a political weapon in the unlikeliest of places: the Violence Against Women Act.
Republicans have several objections to the legislation, but instead of making changes, Schumer wants to fast track the bill to the floor, let the GOP block it, then allow Democrats to accuse Republicans of waging a “war against women.”

[LEFT]“Sounds like all politics all the time,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of his party’s leadership who also serves on the Judiciary Committee. He added that Republicans would point out the “cynical nature of what they’re trying to do that it’s not based on substance.”
Cornyn added: “We’ll be prepared to address their false narrative.”
[LEFT]Republicans said Wednesday they might move their own bill once the issue heads to the floor. And they pushed back on Democratic criticisms that they were being insensitive to women.

The Obama Administration is certainly the most divisive in American history, especially among race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.

Under Obama, the media and the government played a good role in keeping the division going.

So, Democrats are playing the same game Republicans play every 2 years?

Ever notice that insensitivity to women costs you political points while insensitivity to the poor gains you political points?

well, it will be up to the republicans to handle the situation. If they play it right, the tactic won't work, if not, republicans will look worse with women.

Why plan anything at all? The GOP has done a great job of this on their own.

LOL at the OP.

This is what BOTH parties have done for decades. The bonus is this year thanks to Citizens United, it will be MUCH MUCH more brutal and MUCH MUCH less truthfull... FROM BOTH SIDES.
