-- -- segment tonight -- polls showing American men largely skeptical of president Obama's job performance it is likely that American women.
Will be the deciding factor in presidential election this year.
And so the left is trying to scare that.
No woman nominated to -- should accept that horribly -- in Kansas.
-- gift of human life.
And accept what god has given you and -- the best -- the best education.
These are towers in their own real things and prominent members of the Republican Party judging from their car.
In the GOP must have a serious problem with women.
And so the Republicans get over there -- issues.
We women.
Have got a serious problem with the Republican Party.
All right here now the culture warriors both women Gretchen Carlson in Phoenix this evening and Margaret Hoover here in the studio we think of that -- As a republic ten well I don't like -- I actually think it is a hard hitting and will be highly active.
But what kind of a person would associated entire political party.
With a few peoples opinions.
There well they are people and it's not just a few people I mean the Republican Party and -- platform has a human life amendment and it it doesn't have a great deal -- and that.
And that's what did -- they're hang in this commercial -- and this is a move on her hand while they're there broadly -- pain in terms they're trying to he would.
And -- people worry that -- there retract what I -- yeah okay so it's not just one person.
But I do think what there's a there's a kernel of truth.
That that this ad that's -- right which is that at the end of the day if you look at the polls 25%.
Of one and self identify as Republicans 26 as independents.
Forty as Democrats a reality as there is and there is a gender gap in our voting and Republicans do have a challenge reaching out -- this.
Is this ad demonize is our entire party the Republican party for a you know a fairly.
Small.
I think.
Point that even if it is rape or incest you should carry the child term.
And I think that's in the Republican Party platform effect -- no it is not.
No I don't know I and I and I -- that's that's the IQ okay its its its usual Rush Limbaugh is the quote unquote.
You know leader of the Republican Party and.
Who believes this kind of stuff OK look up a couple of points here I do agree -- Margaret I think that this ad will be effective for people who are not tuning in to every single detail.
Of all of these issues when you hear -- carefully and it's -- it is going to be effective what kind of a more I don't think that.
Because we're winning -- -- here's my here's a thing doesn't feel you need to dig.
-- -- knew that he tells you that you need to dig beneath the details of this add to find out for example that Rick Santorum.
That line that's credit to him even even greens that if you're raped and get pregnant.
That that you should not be able to have an abortion he said he was -- -- -- hypothetically about if his daughter came to him yeah.
How does -- personals and the father he would -- I have the I have to schools -- Single entity would not do that I -- who -- now are you ready to be -- still can.
This isn't about women it's about intelligence.
It's about some commercial being put out there.
That is blue blatantly propagandist.
And you're telling me.
That's at most American women no matter what party they're -- Are gonna believe that the Republican Party.
Supports.
A denial of abortion in cases of rape and -- you're gonna tell me that most Americans -- -- buy that from that piece of garbage.
You know what -- I think that number is -- Shalit OK and I am glad now I think -- and I carried out I think you're denigrating women I think women are much smarter.
Than that.
I don't think that you our viewers our viewers are gonna think -- denigrating went.
I think I can elaborate planning what is actually I'm amazed in there are -- and our independent voters if you -- We did very well Republicans of women -- -- -- you know why the issue is more about the economy and that -- deficit the spending.
We want to let you got an independent I and I hate and -- that the lives in time I agree that the socialist win I agree that the social issue should not be Paramount in this campaign.
But I'm going on record -- and I think American women Smart enough to know that's a piece of -- that commercial.
OK last word free you Carlson there out there in Arizona and act.
-- thank you I'm gonna say that Barack Obama is gonna make women's issues a central part of his campaign he already did this past week reaching out to millions of women.
And this ad is just the first step in -- and if Rick Santorum is the nominee.
What will be important for him is to look at this poll.
Which says that if you agree with the presidential candidate on other issues but not on the issue of abortion can you still vote for that candidate.
And 62% of the people surveyed said yes that is important poll number for any Republican going up against -- -- -- We'll give you plenty of well on this segment.
Movie okay.
Are you -- -- okay -- -- it down when everybody to show you little machine here where we're tech savvy parents lining tech savvy and here I am I actually think frightens me coming.
