Why NOT to vote Republican

[jp1]

That is interesting. I’m going to go check that out.

Edit to add: what an odd interpretation you’ve made if you’re talking about Newt defending Senate candidate Walker. There’s nothing in the news report I read that is about a woman who is committed to Christ being allowed an exception abortion in a restricted state.

I suppose you’re right. His exception is only that a man can pay for a woman he impregnated to get an abortion if the man is deeply committed to Christ.

I suppose that difference is significant since we all know that republicans think men should be the ones deciding what women do with their bodies.

Hunh? If Walker paid for an abortion, and it looks like he did, it was legal. Of course he “ can oay fir a woman…to get an abortion,” What exception is needed? You may remember that Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. Walker isnt old enough to have predated that.

Geez JP you really do twist points that seem… Not a point.

I’m simply pointing out that a) it’s wildly hypocritical that republicans are defending he fact that he impregnated someone and then paid for her abortion while simultaneously vowing to outlaw all future abortions, and b) calling that dirtbag ‘deeply committed to Christ’ when the other candidate in his race is a preacher. One who didn’t commit domestic violence, father several children that he pretends don’t exist or pay for an abortion of a fetus that he fathered.

If walker is the kind of person republicans think is ‘deeply committed to Christ’ it’s no wonder so many people think Christianity, at least as practiced by some republicans, is a clown car farce of a religion.

Oh! Do you think he’s a hypocrite!

Why didn’t you just say so.

You’ve got a point. Anyone who has even sort of been paying attention for the past several years has figured out that hypocrisy is the only Republican value that they actually cherish. Well, that and winning regardless of how many ‘highly cherished’ values they have to toss in the trash can along the way. Being against abortion is just another one of those values that they don’t actually care about.

[jp1]

Lol. Now it turns out that the woman who walker paid for the abortion is also the mother of one of his kids he pretended didn’t exist. I wonder how this new detail fits into Gingrich’s belief that walker has deeply held belief in Christ?

There’s no amount of good work to prove that one isn’t being performative either.

He lies every time he opens his mouth. Maybe he hasn't read the "false witness" part of the Ten Commandments.
Republicans are scraping the bottom of the barrel for candidates, witness Lauren Boebert.
