61. Not cynical at all

That was precisely the game plan. It's also why Roe v Wade will never be overturned (but at the same time, it would be effectively gutted by defunding programs, creating laws that restrict abortion to only the most outlandish situations...)

The GOP is masters of creating boogie-man situations. Guns, God, and Gays are also from the same game plan. No one really wants to strip people of their personal guns. But they raise the "we'll be defenseless!" claim as red meat. Similarly, no one is starting a war on Christmas. But every year, we get the "Oh no! There's a War on Christmas!" Gays? Half the GOP are closeted gays, but they throw the gay-baiting claims of child sex perverts, destroying the family and so on.

Another one? War on Drugs. The only way the war on drugs will end is when the big Pharmas get enough of a handle on marijuana to become a profitable enterprise, they will then tell congress to end the war.
