Editor’s Note: First there was the concern over the Jewish vote in light of complaints from that community and their disdain for the Obama Administration’s Middle East policies; now there is concern that another group that favors the Democrats — women — are beginning to look for political answers elsewhere. Women are growing with enormous political and economic influence. Historically, the Democratic Party seemed like a smart place for women with its emphasis on equal rights and its war on corporate “glass ceilings.” The growth in the number of women in corner offices and in entrepreneurship has allowed them to see, first hand, the impact liberal policies are having on the economy in general and in their businesses in particular.

Since the Democratic Party claims to be “for women,” this is rank hypocrisy. Unfortunately, this attitude is entirely consistent with the left’s despicable misogynistic treatment of conservative female leaders like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.
Since the day she came on the national stage, Sarah Palin has been attacked in sexually degrading ways — most recently in Joe McGinniss’s disgusting tabloid trash. Michele Bachmann, too, has faced…(read more).
