Patriot Update

Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean says Republicans hate women for thinking “insurance should actually pay birth control.”

“See, here’s what the big problem is. You’re right about 40 and 50-year-olds, and even 35-year-olds. But under 35, even though they have a fiscal stake in trying to get the country back in order, this party, the Republican party, is gay-bashing, Muslim-bashing, Latino-bashing, immigrant-bashing, women-bashing every day. And so the young — young people are just not going to vote for Romney, because they’re not going to — they think insurance should actually pay for birth control, they don’t — their friends are gay, Muslim, Latino, and so forth and so on. They’re sick of this stuff. They hate this kind of politics. So the Republicans are playing to a very, very narrow audience and they just made it a lot worse in this primary,” Dean said on MSNBC.
