Seems like Mike Huckabee is pretty proud of himself for finding a new phrasing that he thinks will entice women to join the Republican Party. Aaron Blake at the Washington Post says:

“I think it’s time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a 'war on women,'" Huckabee said during a speech at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Washington. "The fact is the Republicans don’t have a war on women, they have a war for women, to empower them to be something other than victims of their gender.”

Huckabee said Democrats rely on women believing they are weaker than men and in need of government handouts, including the contraception mandate in Obamacare.

Huckabee's description of the way he thinks Democrats view women—"helpless" and unable to "control their libido"—is incredibly condescending. It's clear that his perception of the Democrats is cut-and-pasted, wholesale, from conservative blogs and bears no relation to reality. Which makes Huckabee's statement especially sad. It's Mitt Romney's 47 percent commentary with a little stereotyping thrown on top. This is not a winning argument, and this is not how you convince people to join your party.

Huckabee's first step, if he really wanted to do outreach, should have been to talk to actual, human women about their opinions and concerns. Instead, he's just spouting some bullshit at a friendly room that loves it and eats it up. That's exactly how Republicans lost the last two presidential elections.
