Clark County Sheriff and Republican gubernatorial hopeful Joe Lombardo has changed his stance on whether to repeal an executive order protecting women from being prosecuted for seeking an abortion in Nevada, with less than two months to go until the Nov. 8 election.
He published a note on his campaign website Wednesday that outlined where he stands on abortion and what sort of actions he would take as governor. At least one of those stances is different from what he said just a couple of weeks ago.
Previously, Lombardo said he would look to repeal Gov. Steve Sisolak’s executive order that protects out-of-state patients seeking reproductive health care in Nevada, which Sisolak signed in June after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
"Because there are efforts in other states that could impact Nevadans, I have made a commitment not to repeal that executive order until the Legislature can make clear that Nevada is not going to prosecute women who seek an abortion or medical providers that perform legal abortions."
These guys must think we are complete imbeciles, that we can't remember what they said yesterday. Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo, sheriff of Clark County, has done a complete 180 degree reversal from his position on Nevada's abortion law.
Now, Lombardo says
Less than two weeks ago, he told a Review-Journal reporter that he would consider repealing Sisolak’s executive order, calling it “political theater.”
Republican candidates see the abortion issue as a total loser for them, so now they think they can simply get away by lying about their true positions.
Whataboutism gives a clue to its meaning in its name. It is not merely the changing of a subject to deflect away from an earlier subject as a political strategy; it’s essentially a reversal of accusation, arguing that an opponent is guilty of an offense just as egregious or worse than what the original party was accused of doing, however unconnected the offenses may be.Kinda like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton saying that marriage was between a man and a woman?
Yeah, no vote hunting there when they flipped on the issue ..................................right?
So, the answer to your question is yes.................................Democrats can be imbeciles too.
Is this not normal operating procedure for them? They had to go so far right because of trumpism and now they are paying the price for following him on the crazy train. Now they want us to believe they aren't the crazies they were when campaigning. That might be ok for people who will vote party no matter what but for the rest of us it's no longer acceptable behavior.These guys must think we are complete imbeciles, that we can't remember what they said yesterday.

Horns of hypocrites?
So you don't want Republicans to moderate their positions?These guys must think we are complete imbeciles, that we can't remember what they said yesterday.

No. Not at all like that. When the theocratic Supreme Court attempted to outlaw abortion, it had been the law for nearly 5 decades, and 2/3rds of the country was still very much in favor of it.Kinda like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton saying that marriage was between a man and a woman?
Right !! No vote hunting. A perfectly understandable and reasonable change of heart on the subject - just as it has been across most of the population!Yeah, no vote hunting there when they flipped on the issue ..................................right?
So NO ...................... your contention is bullshit.So, the answer to your question is yes.................................Democrats rely on their imbecile base also.
You consider prosecuting women for abortion to be a bedrock principle? Got any support for that nonsense?Just admiring how quickly their bedrock principles turn to Play-Dough.

Conversely, same sex marriage has just been emerging on the scene over the past 25 years, and people's feelings about it - as in the entire population - has been drifting in the direction of that fundamental human rights issue more and more over the past two decades. It makes perfect sense for people like Obama and Clinton to change their minds about it. Everyone else has.

They flipped for votes and you know it.....and your premise is bullshit.
You're being intellectually dishonest. You know damned well I made an argument you can't rebut.They flipped for votes and you know it.....and your premise is bullshit.

My fault for not seeing that coming. Not sure why I continue to give you the opportunity to show some posting integrity.It was for that guy. Until it wasn't.

Where, as I irrefutably pointed out, there clearly was none.I made a argument about hypocrisy.
Have a nice dayI commented on a trend, specifically with this guy.
You seemed to think I meant that his extreme beliefs were mainstream, which I never even implied.
I didn't play your game, and now you're all butthurt over it. Sack up.
Where, as I irrefutably pointed out, there clearly was none.
So much for your hollow argument.
I would love it, but it's not sincere. The SC justices weren't sincere, nor has the MAGA GOP been sincere.So you don't want Republicans to moderate their positions?
Except that Obama didn't try to undo the Hodges decision, nor was he ever planning to.Kinda like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton saying that marriage was between a man and a woman?
Yeah, no vote hunting there when they flipped on the issue ..................................right?

Two wrongs don't make a right unless it's a MAGA. lol Plenty of wrongs equal up to MAGAs. A different breed of politician.Complete lie.
Democrats have flipped to earn votes and that was the OP's point.
