When a political party is so successful in alienating large parts of the population - other than old white males - how can they expect to win elections. You know, it helps if you don't piss off all the women in the country. Even conservative talk show host Boortz talked about this this morning:

Thanks, Too, To The Abortocentrists
By Neal Boortz
The Republicans lost any hope of regaining control in the Senate the minute that Republican men decided to open their traps and make idiotic comments about something that will never, ever affect them: abortion. Todd Akin (Missouri), Richard Mourdock (Indiana) and John Koster (Washington)
these MEN and I want to emphasize their gender here can take great pride for the role they played in handing g Obama a victory yesterday. Lets see, we have Aiken with is brilliant comments on how a womans body has a way of shutting down the pregnancy mechanisms during a rape. We have Mourdock telling us that if a rape results in pregnancy its actually a gift from God, and we have Koster a minor player, yes, but who cost female votes nonetheless who said he (again, a MALE) opposed abortion in all cases except for the rape thing. These fools took what was arguably a womans greatest fear rape at the hands of a violent stranger and turned it into a treatise on the wonders of a womens reproductive system knowing the difference between horrid violence and passion; a gift from God, or just a thing. Their brain-dead comments on abortion managed to push even more women into Obamas column. All three of these fools lost. Mourdock and Aiken should have won. They were favored until their abortocentrism came through. These were two Senate seats that could have a made a difference. This election was close
and I guess well never know how much damage they did. We do know, though, that it didnt help one bit. These three obsessed men didnt gain one single vote for themselves or for Romney. Not that it matters any more --- not that theres going to be any real chance of turning things around in four years --- but the Republican Party is not doing itself any favors by catering to fools like this. If this Party wants to get serious about winning, it needs to find a way to appeal to women and get rid of this obsession over abortion. Abortion will NEVER be illegal. All youre doing is chasing away voters. Period. The end.
