If Walker wins does that prove republicans are lying about abortion being the same as killing babies?

[gusto79]

If it came out a candidate helped kill a baby, there is no way he'd win an election, right? It would be impossible to vote for someone that did that. So if Walker wins, doesn't that indicate that most republicans don't actually believe abortion is the same as killing babies? Or does that just mean republicans would vote for a candidate that killed a baby if the alternative was voting for a democrat?

Really Walker doesn't even need to win to see this. If he gets a significant amount of votes the same logic would apply. I guess someone could claim they voted for Walker because they think taking the senate would lead to a national ban on abortions, so they had to vote for the guy that killed a baby so they could stop more killing of babies.

Or typically over 40% of the electorate identify as Independent, while the parties typically poll under 1/3rd.

 

[Joes Place]

It was gonna be a "Democrat" baby, w/o any father figure.
So, aborting them is "OK".

Gun to head, more Republicans in Congress have paid for abortions than Democrats. It's not about the babies anyway for the leaders. It's for controlling women and power.

I think, thats still called proof.

 

[MitchLL]

It's like counted votes.

Not real unless it supports their POV.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Some people truly think abortion is murder.

what an individual thinks is irrelevant to the first statement.

 

[Huey Grey]

Rs are really avoiding having to admit that Walker is a murderer in their eyes.

i can’t tell if you are joking but if so then bravo because you are crushing it.

You believe Walker?

 

[HawkeyeHighFlyers]

I have receipts that have faded after having them for 2 years, 13 year old receipt in pristine condition? This doesn't sound like a set up.

And what about his son accusing him of violence? Also bullshit in your eyes?

I don't believe or disbelieve Walker,.. I simply stated that he denies paying for an abortion.

 

[Huey Grey]

Could be...

"She supported these claims with a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic, a “get well” card from Walker, and a bank deposit receipt that included an image of a signed $700 personal check from Walker."

 

[IAHawk2011]

The truth of the matter is, in today’s political climate, a majority of Democrats and Republicans alike would vote for a member of their “team” who said or did something shitty rather than vote for the other team.

 

[Huey Grey]

I don't believe or disbelieve Walker,.. I simply stated that he denies paying for an abortion.

And right after he did, his son took to social media blasting his dad for running because it would surface the horrible history Walker has.

Now do that with Fetterman and chasing down a black person in your neighborhood with a gun. No way Dems vote for that guy, right?

 

[Rifler]

Saw that also,.. Perhaps Walker was a shitty father or maybe his son has an ax to grind with dad. In any case this offers no additional proof towards the abortion claim.

So Walker abused his son, he threatened his wife, yet believing that he had an abortion, with receipts, is completely unbelievable in your eyes?

 

[Joes Place]

The check in question wasn't made out to an abortion clinic...

It was made out to someone, and matched the amount spent at the abortion clinic.
Not rocket salad here.

Pro choice republicans don’t care

He's a former FBI agent and deserves respect. Walker and his past of threatening his wife and family are well documented. So I'm going to side with his son.

 

[bunsen82]

Walker paid for the abortion. Pure and simple, his own family is saying he has lied throughout his campaign. You should look at what his son wrote yesterday. All the evidence contradicts Walkers story, and all Walker can say is I give money to lots of people . . . really? Ok then tell us what you specifically gave the $700, tell us whether it was a grant a scholarship to pay for bills - tell us why you gave her $700 and sent her a get well card.

It wouldn't surprise me. I don't really think most Republicans believe fully in the pro-life cause. There was a "pro-life" congressman in Tennessee that did sort of a similar thing and he still won re-election.

Honestly I don't think Republicans really have any firm moral stances other than a hatred of certain groups of people. You can take nearly any other aspect of the standard Republican/conservative view and find times when they are very willing to compromise it.

 

[Huey Grey]

There's already a joke circulating that this may change tens of Republican votes.

 

[franklinman]

But John is a law and order candidate that isn't afraid to protect his territory, see the difference.

 

[tumorboy]

Could be...

In his biography he's admitted to having some violence issues. Put a gun to his ex wife's head. None of this is new.

Never ever trust what a con tells you, watch what they do, and you'll never be wrong.

Isn't the guy he's running against a wife beater and uses his religion to scam people? If so, seems like that district could use some new candidates.
