Former Rep. Gabby Giffords could flip Arizona for Obama in presidential race
The Hill ^ | February 2, 2012 | Russell Berman

President Obama is eyeing Arizona as one of the few Republican states he might flip in November, but to do that he might need the help of its brightest star: former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D).

Whether Giffords will lend her considerable clout to the president’s reelection campaign remains an open — and exceedingly delicate — question.

After long thought on whether to say this or not, outside of getting shot in the head and surviving, what has she done other than be a liberal Democrat the media wished to blame Sarah Palin and we Conservatives for aiming the pistol and pulling the trigger?

Total BS... and I saw an interview last week that said she would have a hard time beating the republican that is running. This is total BS. They know it... but they must propagandize... it is all the left has left.

Is this woman sufficiently worshipped in Arizona so as to turn the State to “The Divine One?” I would guess, not being an Arizona voter, that the illegal Mexican vote will be more important.

Spot on. But as for voters...they get swayed by negative ads, thugh don’t they? Money talks and the voting public is far too lazy to do their own research. Sucks but its true.

Anyone who says, “I’m going to vote for the Marxist because our Rep got shot by a psychotic leftist” is too stupid to breathe.

They may well be too stupid to breathe, in which case they will die. But their death won't stop them from voting for Obama.

Personally, I think the MSM has hidden how far from recovery Rep. Giffords really is. I have a feeling she’s not even to the point yet where she herself could give a speech about the subject if she wanted to.

She may never be.

If Gabriel Giffords and her husband use the Tucson shooting to benefit Obama’s re-election... Well, I won’t say what I really feel.

The Chicago Tribune’s commenter, Leonard Pitts, wrote a big article calling for more laws to limit 2nd amendment rights “to keep people like Loughner from legally buying” guns like he used...

The duplicitous Pitts bastid, however, didn’t mention the idea that the existing laws in place would have kept Loughner from buying the gun, if it weren’t for some sort of pally relationship between his mother and the ‘rat sheriff Dupnik (who immediately blamed conservatives for the incident).

All one has to do, is take a gander at the total book sales of Ms. Giffords tome!!! In a New york minute, they are dismal and miserable combined. Poor Ms. Giffords can’t help herself, she ain’t gonna help Htiler II (Obama)!!! Arizona goes Red big time in November. Matter fact, there is a good chance her seat turns Red in the upcoming special election!!! Obama is now living in fantasy land!!!

During the AP radio news breaks last week, they actually dubbed in searing, movie-score type music over her speaking. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in my life. It was so blatantly manipulative, it had my jaw on the floor.

I can’t express what I feel for the ghouls who are propping this woman up for political gain. Her husband has to be a world-class piece of garbage to stand by and watch it happen.
