Mark Kirk is running a new television ad where he’s exploiting a cute little baby girl for political gain.
Pretty shameless for a guy so extreme, he even voted in support of Partial-Birth Abortion. Fortunately, despite Mark Kirk’s defense of the barbaric procedure, the federal ban on Partial-Birth Abortion passed overwhelmingly in 2003. Even many of the most liberal Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate supported the ban.
It’s just another example illustrating the fact that even if Kirk decided tomorrow to do something honest for a change by switching parties – he would still be considered on the left fringe of even the Democratic Party.
And by the way, where are the parents of this baby girl and what are they thinking?
Doug Ibendahl is a Chicago Attorney and a former General Counsel of the Illinois Republican Party.
