the name of the game in US Politics has been "Divide and Conquer".
So initially, I was wondering why in an election year, the President was so ardent about compelling Catholic Hospitals to issue contraception.
I mean, its sorta divisive if'n yuh think on it.
Then I remembered the Catholic College I attended and counted up all the young women I knew who used Birth Control in seeming defiance of church doctrine.
Now the President's game seems clear...put a little crack in the Catholic Vote and force the GOP to yammer on and on about Birth Control (a topic they ought to avoid like a vampire shuns the sun) and possibly just maybe hand Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich an issue by which to force Mitt Romney into a corner.
Mitt is doing well in the GOP Primaries now, but he cannot debate sensibly on any topic dear to the tea partei, nor has he any sustained powers of resistance to a "right hook" even now.
So likely by this weekend he'll be wavering on female sufferage.
Meanwhile the President goes on, talking about jobs.
Hmmm.
Speculation?
Yes.
But yuh never know
