BNN: Obama Campaign Seeks to Recapture Key Demographic
Charlotte N.C. - Ahead the Democratic National Convention the Obama campaign made public the findings of a candid and sobering internal report it hopes to use to regain momentum with a key voting bloc.
Admitting that Democrats had long ago ceded the male vote to the GOP the Obama campaign announced its intentions to do battle with the Repubicans.
"Men are obviously a significant voting bloc in any election cycle," noted Obama campaign manager Jim Messina. "And we want to make sure they know we will address their needs. We know what men are looking for and we're prepared to reach out to them."
With that acknowledgement Messina went on to detail how the DNC in general and the Obama campaign in particular would begin focusing free birth control for women and greater access to abortion services.
"I think what's really going to set our campaign apart in the minds of America's men is we're the party of greater personal freedom while they [the GOP] continue to focus almost exclusively on traditional families. That's not what men want to hear."
Campaign surrogate Stephanie Cutter eagerly added her voice to the initiative.
"I don't think it's too hard of an idea to swallow. There's a lot of tension and if I can do anything to ease that tension I will lend a hand or anything else I can."
Men of America: she's coming for you.
"Any party that would stand in the way of women's access to birth control is obviously no friend of red-blooded American men," Messina continued.
At the DNC itself convention organizers began prepping dozens of buxom young women to sell shooters wearing only thong bikini bottoms and torn tank tops sporting the Democrat mascot and the slogan, "Gimme dat dunkie butt!" after the song made famous by the rappers, The 69 Boyz.
The Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago did not immediately return calls inquiring about whether first-daughters Malia and Sasha would become the faces of the new strategy.
The idea, of course, was to imply that the Dems would sexually objecctify women for an electoral advantage and such objectification should only appeal to men, not strong, self-assured women.
It is my observation that Dems hove no vision for women beyond their contribution to commitment-less sexual gratification of men.
But I'm a conservative. There's no possible way i could be correct and the leffties will prove the truth of this.
Right?

Together, we will bring our resilient, creative, powerful vaginas to Republican fundraisers and to the convention hall. We'll also take part in the Coalition March on the RNC and other peace and justice actions.

So kpete, who never had to do anything to earn her wealth excpet lie on her back, is speaking to the empowerment of women but even then she has nothing to offer except the sexual objectification of them.
But she's alone, right?

1. Emphatic K&R! Reminds me of a great hand-written protest sign I saw during
the anti-war protests against Operation Shocking and Awful.
Sign simply said "LABIA - Lesbians Against Boys Invading Anything!"
I give that movement 1 generation until it peters-out.

16. Obligatory "this doesn't help" post.
It's like the loincloth-wearing pan flute guy at an Occupy protest. You just sort of face-palm and know that they'll be presented in the media as the "typical" people who take the ideological position in question.
hush you
