Alright, since the "republicans" say "Obama is going to take their guns" to get people to buy guns and reap record profits... what is going to happen in a couple of years?
What are the democrats going to say to everyone that the Republicans are going to take away when a Republican gets voted into office? I'm trying to jump the gun here on stocks since I did not invest in the gun manufacturers. So, what can the Democrats promote in order for people to buy up stuff and get stock prices to go up?
Abortions. Seriously, almost every political ad from a left candidate or organization would state "[insert GOP candidate] wants to take away a woman's right to choose! Even in cases of rape & incest!!!11!!1! OMG!!!" even when that was not the case. (How the #### is a councilman going to overturn Roe v. Wade?)
The statement that someone "wants to take away your right to choose" has nothing to do with whether they can actually do so. It's accurate and most Republicans would admit it publicly, unlike the statement "____ wants to take away your guns," which is almost never true about whoever _____ may be, or at least they haven't said so publicly. I've never heard a politician say they want to ban guns outright, although I'm sure a few have said it.
No, I don't think most republicans would admit to wanting to ban abortions even in the case of rape and incest. In fact, despite the numerous political ads stating that __________ supported such a bill or has said so, organizations like politifact have found those claims to be untrue.
Let me introduce you to the trio running for the top 3 offices in VA.
As I said,
Politifact has found these claims to be untrue. Restrict <> ban.
Top goal...doesn't mean it's not A goal.
Your link says: Schwerin cited various press reports and other materials saying
the personhood measure would lead to a ban on all abortions and forms of birth control that prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a uterus. But
this Truth-O-Meter is not about the consequences of personhood legislation. We are examining whether the GOP ticket has proclaimed that ending abortion and certain types of contraception is its top priority.
Also from your link: "Start with the priorities. Work your way down: life, family, community, world -- a lot of ways to affect the ones at the bottom," Cuccinelli
said. "It gets narrower and narrower as you get to the top. None of those other rights matter a whole lot if you don’t get born."
"And that’s where the candidate’s responsibility arises. You give a campaign purpose. My purpose was to fight abortion, to shrink government, to protect life and families," Cuccinelli said.
That establishes once again that
one of Cuccinelli’s key reasons for entering politics is to oppose abortion.
Fortunately, the internet has a wayback machine. From the cooch campaign website: Ken opposes abortions that are not for the purpose of saving the mother's life.
