We’ve gone from J.D. Hayworth to a flip-flopper in Congress in CD5. What kind of representation is that, where you have no idea where your Congressman is going to vote until the last minute, and then he’s told how to vote (which he denies)? Or, not sure if this is worse, he tells you he’s going to vote a certain way and then changes his vote at the last minute? Rep. Harry Mitchell flip-flopped at the last minute on an agricultural bill, agreeing to vote against it with Republicans because it included an amendment that would have provided federal funding for housing and employing illegal immigrants. However, once it looked like the Republicans had enough votes to send the bill back to committee to fix it, Mitchell switched his vote. Representation like that is chaos, not representative democracy. Didn’t Mitchell campaign on a platform that included cracking down on illegal immigration? The State GOP held a press conference on his trained seal-like behavior.
