HERE WE GO AGAIN, BARBER TAKES TO THE AIRWAVES WITH LIES
AND MORE LIES
Barber has embraced the Washington Insider playbook -
when desperate, twist the truth and fire misleading attacks
Tucson - Today, Martha
McSally released a statement in response to Ron Barber's latest false attack ad
against her.
"It's sad. As our
Congressman, Ron Barber has decided not to discuss how to help the families of
Southern Arizona. Instead, Barber has taken his campaign into full attack mode.
Instead of presenting his plan to help our struggling seniors and women who
were hit hardest by the economic downturn, Barber prefers to sling mud. Ron
Barber's lies are demeaning and a disservice to every voter in Southern
Arizona. First he imply's the my place is in the kitchen and now he lies about
my stance on women's rights.
I spent my career fighting
for women's rights both here in America and across the globe. When I first
found out that the Pentagon was requiring our service women to wear muslim garb
no only did I speak out against it, but I did something about it. I put my
career on the line and spent eight years of my life fighting the Pentagon, even
suing the Secretary of Defense to get the policy repealed. In the end, I won
and ensured that our service women are no longer being demeaned when they are
stationed in Saudi Arabia. I'm insulted that Ron Barber could claim I am
against women's right.
Having disagreements in a
political campaign are necessary for a healthy democracy, but I believe serving
up lies and mistruths with the intent to instill fear is exactly what voters are
sick and tired. Barber's false attacks are precisely the reason why Americans
are fed up with the political process. The problems people face in Southern
Arizona are too important to brush under the rug of muddy attack ads.
"I challenge Ron Barber to
stop his attack machine and make his campaign about what he is willing to do to
address problems that face our economy and our future. I challenge Ron Barber
to commit to waging a campaign of ideas and credentials, not personal
smears. With houses under water and people struggling to find a job, I challenge
Ron Barber to answer the concerns that trouble local families in our
community."
HERE ARE THE
FACTS
- Martha McSally is pro-life except in cases of rape, incest and life of
the mother.
- Ron Barber's attack ad claims Martha holds a different position, by
citing a yes or no question from a survey, which does not address the issues
above.
- The survey the Barber campaign cites in their attacks from the Center
for Arizona policy asks about "Prohibiting abortion except where it is necessary
to prevent the death of the mother".
- Martha McSally supports Title X funding which provides birth control
to millions of women in America for free.
- In the survey they use to cite their birth control attacks, the words
'birth control' are never written, not even once.
Martha McSally is the first
female fighter pilot to fly in combat, and first to command a fighter squadron
in combat in United States history. In 2001-2002, Martha McSally earned national
recognition for successfully overturning a military policy requiring all U.S.
servicewomen to wear Muslim clothing when off base in Saudi Arabia.
