The GOP’s Focus On Clinton And Roe v. Wade

The GOP party and the candidates seem to be very obsessed and focused on who will beat Hillary Clinton and reversing Roe v. Wade. It’s not surprising that GOP supporters are not happy with their field since they are focused on only two issues. The candidates seem to be out of touch with what’s going on. Their appearances at debates and forums are bleak, and boring. Yet, they are very clear on their myopic attention on two issues.

This obsession with beating Clinton and reversing Roe v. Wade has become the mantra of the GOP platform. They seem to be weighing the odds of who can accomplish this rather than what they as GOP presidential candidates can offer their voters. Giuliani leads in the polls but has zero support from the Christian base. So the strategy is vote for Rudy because he will beat Clinton and nominate judges who will reverse Roe.

With all the problems in our country and soldiers dying everyday, the GOP focuses on two issues that in the big picture, can’t even be seen. I would assume that republican voters are looking for a candidate who they can identify with and put their trust in to get the country back on the right track. Instead they are offered the battlefield plan focused on Roveian politics.

Now, Sam Brownback who is getting out of the race might endorse Giuliani. It can’t be because they have the same beliefs, far from it. Brownback’s only reason for a possible endorsement is a strategic plan to beat Hillary Clinton and Giuliani’s promise for strict constructionist justices to the Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade.

It’s not surprising that the GOP has sunk to a new low of playing the odd to beat the house. I’m sure that makes the bulk of the GOP supports warm and fuzzy just knowing how irrelevant all their needs and concerns are.

A top adviser to Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kas., heaped praise on Rudy Giuliani on Friday and told ABC News that an endorsement of the former New York mayor is a distinct possibility before the first votes are cast in the Republican presidential contest.

“He is making the same calculation that Republican primary voters are,” said the adviser who spoke about Brownback’s endorsement plans on the condition of anonymity. “Every indication is that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee and we will really have to sit down and ask ourselves: if that’s the binary — Clinton or non-Clinton — ask yourself who is the most likely non-Clinton.”

A Giuliani endorsement from Brownback, who ran for president on a “pro-life, whole life” platform and is ending his bid for the GOP’s presidential nomination on Friday in Topeka, Kas., could signal to the political world that Giuliani has made significant progress in downplaying his support for abortion rights by emphasizing his commitment to appoint “strict constructionist” justices to the Supreme Court in the mold of current Justices Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, and Sam Alito.
