Liberal group ads targeting Hayworth's Iraq stance

Nov. 27, 2005 12:00 AM

Beginning Monday, a liberal group says it will run cable-TV spots in the Valley targeting Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., for his opposition to an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Eight GOP lawmakers nationally are being hit in the ads from MoveOn.org Political Action.

Tom Matzzie, Washington director of the group, said Hayworth was selected because of his role as "the architect" of the controversial Republican response to Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha's call on Nov. 17 for a troop withdrawal at the earliest "practicable date."

Hayworth came up with the idea for the Republican-led House to arrange a quick vote the next day on an "immediate" end to U.S. troop deployment in Iraq. But Matzzie and Democrats have called that non-binding resolution a cheap political stunt that distorted Murtha's intention and, in Matzzie's words, "debased" meaningful debate about withdrawing troops from Iraq. The vote was 403 against immediate withdrawal, and 3 in favor.

Great moments in J. D. Hayworth's career:



REP. J.D. HAYWORTH, (R) Arizona: Our friends on the left, advocates of big government, say, the Washington bureaucrats do it. Let's put bureaucrats in charge of the pharmacies. Let's put the bureaucrats in charge of the plans." We say, "no, let's insure freedom of choice. Give seniors choice. Let them decide what is best." Mr. Speaker, my colleagues --simply stated -- the plan on the left would fill the medicine bottles of America with red tape.

1. I think the ad could have be bettter....

the ad should be calling specific attention to Hayworth's complete disconnect with the American - and Arizonan - voters with his "disingenous mockery" of the Democrat's real plan. It needs to call out Hayworth on his ignorant Bushie logic.

5. I say he should go on ahead. He looks like a snake oil salesman.

And looks quite representative of all the neocon/fundie hangers on from Sleaze City.... I hope he does run. :evilgrin:

6. "let's insure freedom of choice"

Never thought I'd hear a GOP member say THAT.

And isn't it ensure in this context?
