This is great.

And The Lid Just Got Ripped Off of Hell By Senator Rand Paul

So if Rand Paul comes off as a wee bit petulant or ungentlemanly during these discussions excuse me while I go find an air sick bag. He didn’t even originally bring up the topic of abortion in his New Hampshire meeting with the presstitutes. They asked. He answered. The scab got picked and the lid got ripped off of Hell. No matter how hard Planned Parenthood, Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz, the academic lefty lickspittles who tried to sell abortion as a form of Pre-Crime insurance against the dirty unwashed of America’s lower classes, and no matter how hard “ethicists” from the great and renowned Oxford University tell us it’s perfectly ok to execute inconvenient or economically marginal newborns due to their close resemblance to fetuses; we all know it’s murder.

Rand Paul Exposes Democrat Anti-Woman, Anti-Choice Death Culture

Rand Paul did the entire conservative movement a wonderful favor. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)9% won’t ever explain her position, because doing so would expose her and her party as anti-woman, anti-baby, and anti-choice.

Now we can explain it for her. Democrats want the progressive liberal, all-the-sex-you-want culture to rule the country, and every girl to be trained up in it, and every woman to serve it as a sex slave.

Unless another Republican candidate shows similar courage in addressing the reality of abortion head-on, Senator Rand Paul just won my vote for President.

gawken • 3 hours ago I just sent Rand $25 for that response...
BTW.. I learned a new word today.."condign"...thanks!

Wow, the comments.

The pro-lifers eat this kind of stuff up.

I'd say human beings with a conscience and think murdering babies is evil eat this kind of stuff up; but maybe that's just me.

Oh, I thought that's what zHorns just said.

I'd rather not have baby killing on my conscience.

I just showed this to my wife, who is pro choice (I'm pro life), and she was disgusted by what shultz said. Brilliant move Rand; pretty much everyone but the true extremists on the issue, of which there are very few, will side with Rand.

This is playing right into the narrative that a NH focus group mentioned a couple weeks ago:

"He's got fire."

He is running with it. Hopefully it doesn't upset independents too much. Having enough trouble tempering the social issues debate with progressives I know. They just can't get over the new Left narrative of him being a misogynist.

If swing voters cared about abortion one way or another, they probably wouldn't be swing voters.

Most people that I personally know that are independents don't put a high priority on abortion, and even the more pro-choice leaning women that are not 100% crazy Democratic party trustees tend to view the abortion issue from a nuanced stance. The brilliant thing about what Rand Paul did was that he successfully gave a non-answer to a non-question that put the questioner on the defensive, as well as his opponents. He didn't state his position, which would have sunk him no matter what he said, but rather he switched the onus/burden to his opponent.

And for anyone worried about this turning off "swing voters". Getting the nomination is key right now. Rand moderating his tone for the general election is a bridge that will be crossed when he comes to it.

Stu on the Glenn Beck radio program today said that something like only 14% of people actually support abortion after the 3rd trimester.. So the majority of the public is on Rand's side on this one.

Shultz really stepped in it hard.. the head of the mother fucking DNC, who has been trying SO hard to push that pro-life conservatives are radical extremists on the issue just showed how insane she actually is to 86% of the voting public.

Seriously such a brilliant move by Rand.

Bingo. This is not the stage of the game to try and ween off left leaning independents and democrats. His sole job is exciting the base to vote for him and make him the Republican nominee. And going on the defensive when being interviewed or being all wishy washy about ANY topic is a good way to get passed up come voting time.

Well the GOP hasn't stood up for themselves in years. It a bit refreshing.

 

[CaptUSA]

Absolutely brilliant. He is going to rocket to the top of the polls - you watch.

One thing I notice about the difference between Ron Paul's campaign and Rand's is that we can barely keep up with the good articles coming in from outsiders. I vividly remember reading almost every Ron paul article and a lot of comments early in his campaign. With Rand I can't even begin to keep up.

^^^just thinking the same thing. I'm gonna have to pace myself or I'll be burned out by month's end.

What a problem to have!
