My House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi today accusing Republicans of using a vote on student loans without limit was -- It's the Republicans are now changing their mind and coming back and say okay we won't -- it goes from three point for the six point eight but.

We're gonna make in order to pay for it wouldn't make an assault on women's help pay for this -- launching initiatives that are in effect right now.

For childhood immunization for.

Screening for breast cancer for cervical cancer and for initiatives to reduce birth defect.

-- A woman is apparently doing this killing on Michelle Bachmann doesn't quite see it that way.

The former GOP presidential -- -- Minnesota congressman -- right now congress what you think of Nancy policies attack.

Well it's pathetic she wants to continue this fiction that every Democrat messengers trying to put forward which is there's a war on women.

There is no war on women there's never been a war -- women.

That's -- Nancy Pelosi is trying to do because she's trying to reach the all important women voters.

But the fact is married women do announce support -- Obama historically nor will they in this upcoming election.

But more importantly women have absolutely suffered economically under the president's policies we all know that this is just absurd it's one more distraction.

And people need to realize this is the political fiction.

That the speaker of the house and all the Democrat messengers are trying to -- forward there is no war on women.

Well call it what you will congresswoman I mean women did overwhelmingly support the president and his first -- And even though that old now women but atlas as as this thing on your right so -- just it's just like -- -- that we're all now polls now.

Still so the little -- used to be but still convincingly in his favor what does Mitt Romney then have to do.

-- to assure women that you know he's not going to war.

Well one thing that women know is that Mitt Romney is one very Smart individual.

He gets to operation he -- business he's been very successful.

In his message is an extremely optimistic unlike the president United States.

Who's been out for mouthing every policy that's out there -- been very negative as opposed to Mitt Romney has been extremely optimistic and very positive in his message.

Adding that's why women are gonna trust Mitt Romney's very tourists were they when it comes to dealing with the economy.

And I think that's what he's going to continue to put forward his -- as trustworthy as experience he gets it.

And what he wants more than anything is to turn the economy around that'll create jobs that's what people want right now strong job creation.

-- Obama has an abysmal record.

Verses of Mitt Romney which has excellent unparalleled record on job creation.

Do you think congresswoman -- -- cement that.

That push.

Mitt Romney needs a woman on his ticket.

Well he will make that decision about who we -- I know one thing if you look at Mitt Romney's record.

He had a female as his lieutenant governor to -- -- a female as his chief of staff he has it.

One of the best political spouses and -- Romney that you could possibly have Mitt Romney is extremely crawl women and pearl.

-- would you say hello to your -- Thompson let's just leaving use visited Liotta -- the time being united raises the before and you politely demurred but do you think dead.

It would be better for Mitt Romney to have a female -- and male running with.

-- I'm nothing if not light meal and I think that it again it's up -- they get it to the governor it will be his decision about -- that he has and I trust his judgment.

And I think again the most important thing will be the message that comes forward because people vote for the presidential candidate.

It isn't that the vice presidential candidate is an important they are.

But they vote for the president.

They can do harm right -- director earlier not as you know congress are against us our talent and I don't think it's altogether fair but.

Was that she hurt John McCain more than he would've been heard anyway.

In retrospect I think after the meltdown.

You could have run Moses and it would have the same results but.

-- do you think that that has put -- hall -- on on choosing a woman.

And sexist no not at all because I would I would reject the premise that Sarah Palin was a detriment or drag on the ticket with John McCain and I think that's false I think that's again.

A part of the Democrat narrative because.

Democrats think they should be able to own the women vote.

But there is no monolithic women vote women are very intelligent they're very competent they're very capable they're not easily -- women will make their own decisions.

And I think that the message from Mitt Romney would again will be extremely optimistic.

Women know they could trust him to get the economy and how to create jobs and high paying jobs.

And I think -- he'll be very effective and I think that his choice of the vice presidential nomination or flexed his opinion I think women will be able to trust him.

Our -- only last time congresswoman that if you are chosen as a running mate you'll talk to me first just I just wanna remind you that.

The promise stands congresswoman Michelle Bachmann always good having you thank you very much.
