The Harry Mitchell Two-step: How an aging politician uses children and veterans

Here you go again: using children and veterans as a human shield in your political battleground. When are you going to start accusing your opponent of wanting to harm social security benefits, medicare, and pensions? Oh, that’s right, you already have. You know Harry, JD Hayworth has it right when he gave you the name of Hip Hop Harry. You refuse to speak honestly about your real views on the issues. Instead you play the blame game. But some of us are not as easily deceived. In fact we know how to go to your website and read what you have posted as your positions on the issues. (Am I the only one who noticed that they are exactly the same as ACORN and NARAL?)

So you are shamelessly parading cute kids and our honorable veterans in your ads and flyers, again pretending that your votes are really for them when your record screams otherwise. (Please look at just who the children that Harry supports are in my Oct. post.)

But I’ll let the voters see in your own words just what you think about children’s rights.

“Congressman Mitchell believes that every woman should have access to comprehensive health care. This includes access to family planning and fundamental medical care, such as breast and cervical cancer screening.Congressman Mitchell also believes that every person has a fundamental right to decide when and whether to have children, and supports a woman's right to choose. Mitchell believes that medical decisions, both reproductive and otherwise, should be made between families and their doctors - it is not the role of government to interfere with these decisions.Mitchell believes it is important that we work together to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in the United States through supporting medically-accurate sex education for our kids, taking steps to prevent teen pregnancy and providing access to pre-natal care for all women. It is also important that we help countries around the world do the same thing. That's why Congressman Mitchell does not support the "global gag rule," which cuts funding for family planning providers in developing countries.”

The only gag rule I would like to see is when you open your mouth and continue to lie and besmirch David Schweikert.
