What's Good for the Noose is Good for the Pander

After-rape meds which work by killing sperm or by blocking ovulation, are morally and legally licit everywhere. I’ve been tracking this issue for decades and I can not name one person or organization which disagrees with this. Can you?

Hey I feel the same way about Gun Control. I would like to own a full Automatic weapon with paying for a tax stamp. But it would be a sure loser if our Presidential candidate came out and made a statement in favor of it to prove his bonafides on the Gun Control issue (regardless of his true beliefs). It is about getting elected first and you do not do that by discussing the extreme scenarios. I am Catholic and believe only we get into heaven, I would not win many elections by saying I believe all born again Christians will burn in hell unless they convert to my religion. That was in effect what those two Candidates did in this election. Just cause you believe something doesn't mean you have to say it unfiltered in a debate setting.

So, if you did run, and a reporter asked you how you felt about the 1933 ban on automatic weapons you’d either refuse to answer the question or lie?

The GOP won’t gain ANYTHING and they will lose a lot if they try changing anything on this issue. Those two men didn’t do anything wrong. They just happened to have R’s after their name, and that makes them targets for media to twist their words. If they were D’s they could advocate abortions as a food source and the MSM would do what it could to help them out.

Lol...

What you illustrate with your post is that any action on the matter is quite possibly the longest ever pipe dream in the history of man.

I mean, first Akin or Murdoch would have to be elected, and then they would actually have to do what they said within the confines of the GOP, which as well all know does not do sh*t, and then a president would have to sign it, and then it would have to not be overturned in the very next election...

Sadly ,in this country, once rights are given they are never revoked, except of course for free speech and the right to bear arms potentially.

It draws the line in the sand.

Re drawing lines in the sand: Democrats always redraw the line when conservatives capitulate and ‘evolve’ on a principle. Visualize a tug-of-war contest between liberals and conservatives. As soon as libs pull us over the line, the new line becomes where the new ‘middle’ of the rope is.

Not until conservatives, such as Mike Adams already does, recognize this fact of life, will we ever have enough power to pull the ‘rope’ toward our side, even temporarily.
