The Chinese government invited then-astronaut Mark Kelly, now an Arizona Democratic Senate candidate, to an all-expenses-paid retreat at a countryside resort in 2003. He left China five days later not only with a future spouse, former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D., Ariz.), but also with lucrative regime business contacts.
Kelly attended the annual Young Leaders Forum, a five-day junket cohosted by the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs, which is "under the leadership of the Communist Party of China." The conference allowed Kelly an opportunity to mingle with high-profile Communist Party officials and rising stars in Chinese society. Attendees included Cui Tiankai, now Chinese ambassador to the United States; Fang Xinghai, former director of the CCP's top committee on the economy; and Zhou Mingwei, the party's former top foreign propaganda honcho.

Gee... yet ANOTHER democrat assh*le that has a love affair with communists... who’da thought it...
It’s ... almost like.... they’re on, oh, i DUNNO, THE SAME PAGE???
Nah... can’t be... why he’s a genyoowhine “’murican hero” after all
Most of us on here will vote for McSally. She’s not my ideal candidate but we cannot allow Kelly to win.
“Most of us on here will vote for McSally. She’s not my ideal candidate but we cannot allow Kelly to win.”
I agree with everything you say here. But, will the majority of people in AZ agree.
McSally needs to make this info into a campaign commercial and blast it statewide.
You asked the million dollar question. I think there was an ad circulating about his connections to China but I haven’t seen it for awhile. Of course, I don’t watch local television except to watch some local news which is quite rare for me.
All I’ve been seeing are ads by both Kelly and McSally with regard to health insurance.
The biggest problem with Kelly is simply that he doesn’t represent Arizona in any way.
He’s an even bigger carpetbagger then McSally.
The China thing is way bad - but to a lot of people in Arizona, too esoteric to comprehend.
Did he ever go plinking in Redington Pass as a kid? Go skiing at Sunrise? Hiking on Mt. Graham? Hit the Cavern Club in Nogales for a Sunday dinner in Old Mehico? Pick peaches in Elfrida? Ride in the Rodeo Parade? Spring break at Oak Creek? Ski the Inner Basin? Dinner at Cartwright’s in Cave Creek? ( I know, it’s closed now. Oh Well ).
The guy is a visitor. He’s not even a snowbird. So he bought into one company with the Biosphere hippies. That’s nice. He never went to UoA, ASU, NAU or even Pima College.
He knows NOTHING about the state.
Just some Joisey guy looking for a political launch pad.
It’s really ridiculous that the AzGop can’t do better. This guy should be no competition at all.
Agreed. I wonder why we don’t hear or see Kelli Ward? You’d think she would be on top of this stuff as head of the AZ GOP.
I think you posted on another thread that she hasn’t been that effective?
That surprises me. Thought she’d be real energetic.
Job overwhelming her? Or old guard got her pinned down?
Years ago, when I might have watched early morning TV once in awhile, I began to notice that Mark Kelly seemed all-too-eager to capitalize on what happened to his wife.
I remember thinking at the time, this guy is self-promoting off of this crime. At the time, I thought maybe I was being a wee bit harsh, possibly.
Looking back now, it seems I saw right through this guy.
I’ve been around some people like that before.
You’re right, I did post that.
I don’t know what’s going on with her. We need some new blood, out with the McCainiacs/swamp and in with a more aggressive approach.
Anyone who capitalizes on a spouse like this deserves to lose. Sickens me.
Well, AZ elected another Senator with communist ties and activities already in 2018. Will they care this time?
Uncle Fester is a major-league gun-grabber, which McSally should have been playing on all along. For some reason, she just hasn’t said a thing about it, and I don’t know why. Probably too late now.
When I saw him for the 3rd or 4th time, doing EVERY show he could, I had him figured as a shameless self-promoting dude looking to score political points.
..hopefully POTUS can drag McSally across the finish line in AZ...
I honestly do not understand the people here and how they vote. The one example is that a Democrat has occupied the mayor’s office in Phoenix for several years. Go figure.
To my knowledge, he’s not visible up here in Phoenix with the exception of television ads.
Good. Spent a hot day shopping at the Venture there. Many, many years ago. My rented Thunderbird was as hot as a pistol when I came out.
Then I went to Planet Hollywood on Camelback.
So yeah, that was a long time ago.
Hot it is!!!
Planet Hollywood...that is a blast from the past!!
I even went to the Hard Rock Cafe - across the street (sorta).
