“She’s extremely smart, and she’s going to do what it takes to push her policy agenda.”

Seriously, how much of Gabby Giffords is actually left?

Oh bull. Giffords isn’t all there. Her utilitarian husband and “party” are manipulating her. She is little more than a script reader now.

I feel pity for her and contempt for those using her as a tool for their hateful anti-Constitution agenda.

Let’s not forget why mass killings of the most innocent people occur. The losers who do this are committing suicide in most cases but they are trying to hurt the world as much as possible, regardless of their goal. They want to cause as much hurt as possible and to do so they seek out victims whose harm will cause the most grief and suffering. It is what they do—seek maximum emotional harm. As a society, the defense is to protect our most innocent and vulnerable. It is essential to defend our children to the utmost. It is a form of terrorism—the goal is to cause you as much emotional hurt and harm as possible. Protect the children, protect the schools, protect the vulnerable. Evildoers steer clear of a defended place where they might be harmed or limited in causing the most damage possible.

Her shooter, Jared Laughner legally bought his Glock from Sportsmans Warehouse and did go through a background check.

Correct. She was a victim of that idiot who shot her and now she is a victim of the utilitarians who are parading her around as a spokesperson against the Constitution.

She is not capable of engaging in meaningful debate on this or any subject because of what that criminal did to her. What the Democrat party is doing to her is ALSO criminal, imo.

Liberals would love to make it impossible for a young woman to even own a gun to protect herself from a crazed ex-husband/boyfriend

Loughner threatened boatloads of people. When they reported the threats, they were told he was being watched. Turns out his mom is a big Dem who works for the city of Tucson. Special treatment for him.

I forget what the vote was on, but the Democrats flew her to DC for a “historic comeback” vote on a party-line Bill not too long after she was shot in the head.

She was so mentally handicapped that a staffer had to press the button for her. Because she couldn’t work it. A button. Yep.

Probably the single most disgusted thing that has happened in politics in 30 years.

She is a tool now. A lot like a hammer or a door stop.

“...fight...is not one (Republicans) are likely to win.”

It is a law of nature—Republicans always, will always, never fail to find a reason not to fight. I mean, Einstein completely missed that one.

If I truly believed I was going to be attacked by someone and didn’t already own a gun I’d damn sure go buy one. These people enjoy being victims, they don’t want real solutions, and I have no sympathy for them.
What I would pay to see is Giffords herself debate McSally.

And you can research the people in the ads and find the truth. Stalker was parolee murderer that got probation after 15 months in jail, etc, etc, etc. repeat offender was a know criminal did not obtain the gun legally. I’l bet that the guy may ave used another weapon and they just lied or made up the whole story.

“He had threatened her before. I knew. I just knew,” Vicki says. A narrator then declares that McSally “opposes making it harder for stalkers to get a gun.”

So hammer the fact that Giffords supports making it harder for stalking victims to get a gun.

Politico! Wow.

This column gives Gabbie the business, tells it like it is and is unusually blunt for an all blue rag.

Giffords hAd no problem going to the range and shooing a eeeeeeevil AR-15 and her husband ran out and got a AR-15 the day after he said no one needs one, then admitted it was a straw purchase if I recall.

Simply recreate that ad Bloomberg ran a while back that showed when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

You know,if she’s going to play hardball they should swing and hit the ball right back at her.

No special treatment as long as she stays in the game.
