Hillary's Fake Stagecraft & Pro-Abortion Extremism
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Hillary Clinton's campaign rollout isn't going well. As we alluded to yesterday, she claims to be meeting "everyday" people, but she isn't -- unless you consider left-wing activists to be typical Americans.
It turns out that her Iowa coffee shop visit wasn't a spontaneous event. It was staged with liberal activists driven in from neighboring cities. One person pictured having coffee with Clinton and identified as a "student" is in fact a hospital government relations official and a former Obama campaign worker.
Reporter A.B. Stoddard ripped Clinton's rollout. On MSNBC yesterday, Stoddard said, "It's never about the voters when it's Hillary Clinton. . . Hillary looks like she's counting the minutes until she leaves the room. . . . It's not realistic. It's all stage craft. It's a little bit goofy. . . . It just looks really fake."
Speaking of fake, Hillary apparently made up significant portions of her family's history. She has repeatedly claimed that her grandparents -- all four of them -- were immigrants. But official records show only one was an immigrant.
By the way, Hillary also has a new position on same-sex marriage -- just in time to cash in on millions of dollars from the radical left. She now says there is a fundamental constitutional right to same-sex marriage. As one astute columnist noted, Hillary graduated from law school in 1973, but only now as she runs for president in 2015 does she find such a right in the Constitution.
Pro-Abortion Extremism - We have been arguing for decades that defending life is not only morally right, but it is winning political position issue too. It doesn't hurt with the youth vote. It doesn't hurt with women. In fact, it is the political left, not the right, that holds extremist views on abortion, completely outside the main stream.
For example, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democrat National Party, was on CNN this week. Wolf Blitzer asked her if it was "OK, from your perspective, to kill a 7-pound baby in uterus? Is that your position?" She responded that it was a matter of "personal liberty."
Wasserman Schultz's extreme position is held by a small percentage of the American people. Polling shows that Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to abortion after the first trimester.
If the media will not confront the left's pro-abortion extremism, then our candidates should. Hillary Clinton needs to be asked the same question Blitzer posed to Rep. Wasserman Schultz.
Here's another good question for Hillary: "You claim to be the candidate of women, but as you surely know, Mrs. Clinton, in societies like communist China there is a shortage of girls being born because girls are not valued as much as boys. It is legal in America to abort a baby solely because of its gender. Do you support sex-selection abortions?"
Increasingly, Republicans have been told to say that while they may be pro-life, they won't push their personal views on others. That's the worst possible answer, because it suggests they lack the courage of their convictions.
