According to Wikipedia, the free online dictionary, a wedge is a triangular shaped round tool, a compound and portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place.
In 2012, Barack Obama effectively used wedge issues in his hand-crafted “War on Women“ to separate women from voting for Mitt Romney and the Republican Party.
Give the guy credit. He was able to fool a good cross-section of women utilizing two polarizing figures who shall not be named in this column (hint: losers in Missouri and Indiana) to drive wedges between the Republican Party and women voters.
The Obama campaign used the wedge issuebrilliantly to brainwash single and minority women into thinking the GOP would take away their reproductive rights, deny them equal pay, and perform other unsavory tasks to get a lily white, intolerant party in the power seat.
The frighteningly successful Obama taunted us even after the election during fiscal cliff negotiations where he scared people about the rich paying their fair share, Republicans removing middle class tax cuts, and Medicare being taken away from seniors.
It was great political theater but kind of unfair to Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, statesmen and gentlemen who believe a man’s word is his bond. Now its unlikely that either will meet privately with Obama without witnesses.
Political operatives and pranksters paid by Obama’s operatives and liberal special interest groups are now using the same bullying tactics – an issues “wedgie” in 2013 – to scare women and business people from helping or even listening to Republicans.
A wedgie, according to Wikipedia, occurs when a person’s underwear or other garments are wedged between the buttocks. While a wedgie can be created naturally, the term is usually associated with a prank or as a form of bullying.
So, I’m declaring it fair game in 2013 to call it exactly what it is:
The Women With Wedgies campaign has begun!
Get your panties in a bunch and join the fun!
Separating people into groups has become routine now for the Obama political machine. They effectively control the mainstream media and use that power to scare women and minorities. It’s the same tactical strategy as it was in 2012, but with a different delivery of the message using “groups” of women to pick on others.
You’ll begin to hear rhetoric from fictitious groups made up the day before. They will say that Republicans are “bad” for refusing to fund liberal special interest groups. These groups often hide behind non-profit organizations for legitimacy. But they are controlled by the same people who control political action committees that will only back Democrats.
The most recent Women With Wedgies campaign was on display this week …read more
