ORIGINAL: Musicmystery
Rush Limbaugh on the air referred to a college student testifying before Congress about how important birth control pills were to her health, calling her a slut, and said if we were going to pay for birth control, she should be required to post videos of herself having sex on the Internet so we get something for the dollar.
Not surprisingly, this pissed off a lot of women. While Rush is not an elected figure, he takes a strictly conservative partisan Republican line, and his talking points appear in the mouths of Republican conservative officials. He's a proxy. Despite his long obnoxious verbal spewings, and that his ratings have been steadily dropping in the past few years, many women felt this was finally way over the line.
Hence, "sluts vote." He became the poster child for the "Republican War on Women."
Wow, thanks musicmystery! I did not know this.
From the other responses in this thread, many others did not know this, either. I'm thinking maybe those using the avatars might want to put a link in their sig line or something, so their message actually...well...tells the message.
