Bill Maher reverses midterms prediction, says abortion can save Democrats
The Hill ^ | 09/27/2022 | JUDY KURTZ

Posted on 09/27/2022 12:41:33 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Bill Maher says he’s no longer predicting that Democrats will be pummeled in the midterm elections, with abortion offering a “turning point” on momentum.

“Things have really turned around,” Maher told ITK in a recent interview.

“The Republicans are the dog that caught the car with abortion,” the HBO “Real Time” host said of the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the federal right to the abortion established by Roe v. Wade.

“They’ve been trying to do this for 50 years, and then now you notice that the Republican candidates don’t even want to be asked about the subject. And sometimes when they do get asked about it, they kind of backtrack: ‘Abortion, I guess I heard something about a ruling recently,’” Maher said.

"They quoted an ABC-WaPo poll..."

I trust a WaPo/ABC poll about as far as I can throw Stacey Abrams. LOL

Nobody’s talking about abortion except screeching man-hating types in ugly shoes who would never vote for a conservative in the first place. The SC ruling fell off the front pages faster than a Democrat ensnared in a sex scandal.

There's plenty of talk right here on FR. There's a whole lot of talk in the campaign commercials and appearances of candidates and their reps. And then there's the MSM, where it is ubiquitous. The SC ruling itself fell off because that is about states' rights in the matter. The election is about righties making women have babies, even if it would literally kill them, even young girls who have been raped by their grandpas.

I love the thinking. The dems have only abortion as an issue.

Therefore, it is automatically the most important and will win for them.

Flawless and predictable.

We., the costal elite think abortion is the most important thing!!! Therefore, ye peasants shall as well!!!!

Id like to see some GOP candidate run an ad showing a partial birth abortion. Then the simple line that their opponent supports this.

That really is what the issue is. The dems don’t just support abortion. They support unrestricted abortion. Up to and after birth.

But hey, what GOP candidate would do that?

Single issue voters...

They are the ones who are selfish, ignorant and just plain stupid with their personal self-serving emotional BS. Destroy the country over a selfish argument. An argument that is purely based in fear mongering and false premise that becomes a propaganda war of obsession. An obsession fomented by their own naive subjectivity influenced by the participation in talking point group-think activism.

These crybabies don’t care about right and wrong, only what they want and believe they might loose... and to-hell with whatever anyone else thinks or how it tramples on the rights/privileges of others.

He is certainly correct in that Roe v Wade has benefited the Dems. If that had not happened, they would be completely on the ropes. Sometimes I wonder if it was not about states rights but rather about giving Dems an issue to run on. I really wish it had not occurred this year. I know a lot of people do not like that, but the stakes are very high. I believe if the Dems are able to cling to and consolidate their power, abortion will not just be allowed, in many cases it will be mandatory.

Killing babies is a winning issue for the Dems? I don’t think the American people in general will agree.

The Democrat/RINO Platform for Nov. 2022 (which all their candidates will use):

  1. "Traitor" Trump "took" our "most classified nuclear secrets" to "sell to Russia," "treasonously led" the "January 6 Capitol insurrection," and wants to "destroy American democracy!" My Republican/conservative opponent is a rabid Trump supporter so if my opponent gets in, that's the end of America!
  2. LGBTQPIAK+ rights!
  3. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion!
  4. MAGA is "evil!"
  5. Abortion!
  6. Racism!
  7. Did we mention that "traitor" Trump wants to "destroy American democracy?"

That's basically the Democrat/RINO Platform. Scare American voters into voting for ... not the Republicans/conservatives. (It's as though Democrats/RINOs don't want you to even notice that the senile Sleepy Joe puppet is the so-called "President.")

Nobody gives a damn about abortions if you can’t pay your bills or buy groceries.

So many small businesses are going under and all the f—king liberals talk about abortion, abortion, abortion! It’s like shut the F up, close the damn borders and fix the damn economy you kiddy poking bastards!

Seriously, the confirmation bias runs heavy during election season.

If you are a dem and know you are going to get shellacked, you create the exit by which you won’t and believe it.

If you are a Republican, you see the media report that abortion is the issue and the only issue and you believe it because it confirms your fears.

But objectively speaking, I have not seen abortion ranked high enough on the list of issues ranked as important by most voters. If it were, Joe Biden wouldn’t be out there screaming at you that “INFLATION ISN’T THAT BAD” or “YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT GAS PRICES” like someone who is telling you what not to be concerned about, knowing you are concerned, and finally giving up and ordering you not to care.

Abortion runs rampant in this country and is everywhere.

I mean, the economy is being aborted everyday in front of our eyes.

I hope the Democrat party loses 2/3 of their seats.

Remember when homosexual marriage was going to help Democrat party candidates? They delayed that vote.

Murdering children in the womb should not be a help to the Democrat party.

Unfortunately sacrificing babies is very important to a certain demographic no matter the party affiliation. If not for inflation it could be the issue driving too many voters.

You forget that the Dems are making abortion an economic issue. They are basically claiming that women will now be brood cows unable to help put food on the table because they are tied down to maternal slavery.

When did he stop living in a echo chamber?

He will be bombarded with whistling through the graveyard rhetoric, that will work on the weak minded, until gas jumps a dollar in the next month.

We have to have faith in Biden being a complete F-Up.
