Sandra Fluke - A Liberal Proxy
Remember a couple of months back during one of those seemingly endless debates when George Stephanopoulos asked Mitt Romney a question about banning contraceptives for women? Most people thought that was a very strange question at the time. This is especially true since the debate had centered mostly on the economy. This question just came out of the blue from George Stephanopoulos. Or so we thought at the time. Everyone realizes that Georgie is a hitman for the Democratic Party. That is just one example of the bias Republicans must contend with during a campaign for President. It is becoming increasingly apparent that was a precursor of an elaborate Democratic strategy to offset the potential of a brouhaha with the Catholic church over mandatory payment of contraceptives for women. The Obama Administration and the DNC were planning for this potential fight with the Catholic church. The strategy was to make it appear that Republicans do not want women to have contraceptives. It is an attempt to make it appear that Republicans want to ban contraceptives. Period. What the Democrats did not expect is the ferocity of this ongoing fight with the Catholic church and others who support them. This was a serious miscalculation by the Democrats. They had to do something and do it quickly.
Enter Sandra Fluke, a 30 year old law student (just how long has she been going to school?) at Georgetown. She suddenly has become the point woman for the Democratic Party in its battle with the Catholic church on the issue of free contraceptives for women. Sandra Fluke says she needs $3,000 a year to pay for contraceptives. Just how much sex is this homely looking 30 year old law student having? $3K a year for contraceptives? That is preposterous. No one is going to believe that. Well, except if you are a Leftist who will accept anything as long as the taxpayers are footing the bill. Something else I found puzzling; who is footing the bill for all these trips (eight at last count) this Georgetown law student is taking to appear on national TV? Seems I have found an answer. Reports are that Sandra Fluke is being represented by the PR agency SKDKnickerbocker. Guess who is the managing editor for this firm? The infamous Anita Dunn, the former White House Communications Director. Something that makes you go hmmmmm. There can be no doubt now. This is all a contrived and orchestrated event by liberals to have a proxy, in Sandra Fluke, to do their bidding on an issue that is hurting President Obama. This is a self-inflicted wound by the Democrats. As always, they overreach. They certainly did in this case. But, it is patently obvious this is not about contraceptives for women. This is a freedom of religion issue. The Democrats are in serious trouble now.
You won't see the MSM report anything about Anita Dunn being the force behind Sandra Fluke. They are "all in" for President Obama and the Democratic Party. But, it does show to what depths the Democrats will go to protect Obama. This issue will not go away. The Catholic church is going to see to that. How does President Obama and the Democratic Party get out of a mess they created themselves? I have no idea. But, I do know that the longer this contraceptive issue lingers (and the questions about Sandra Fluke's biased involvement), the more it will hurt the Democratic Party as we march toward the 2012 elections.
