Vile ad bounces off McSally, sticks to Gabby Giffords
(Excerpt) Read more at thegunfeed.com ...
I watched the ad. Vile is right.
When viewed with real life in mind, it also makes a perfect argument to assuming responsibility for your own safety, via being armed.
Nut jobs still aren’t crazy enough to commit suicide by attacking those who can defend themselves. They prefer the unarmed, thereby guaranteeing their success.
The almost incessant ads against McSally run every day are all founded in lies and distortions. They play to the LIV, Hispanic and the University crowd (Same thing in most cases) Barber barely squeaked by last time and this time he is in a sweat. Go Martha!!
I am rubber
You are glue
Your words bounce off me
And stick to you

DOH! Yeah, I coulda done that.
Thanks.
I won’t vote for McSally, but this ad isn’t going to convince anyone here who isn’t already rabidly liberal.
Maybe Gabby will do one of those Keg stands at the local high school
“I wont vote for McSally”
And why is that? Let the rest of us in on your thinking.
I think McSally is being groomed as the GOP-E’s future Hillary - a rising star because she’s a female republican.
However, I despised her actions in the military. If I had behaved the way she did, I’d have been in deep trouble - but then, I wasn’t a protected female with heavy congressional support. I tend to despise any political types in the military, and anyone who was a military officer who goes to Congress to be an aide.
McSally also supports illegal immigration. She mouths the words on a strong border, but her heart isn’t in it.
Given her supporters, the history of the district and some of her background, I’m pretty sure she will also support the gay rights movement. I also find it odd her marriage was annulled - not a divorce, but a civil annulment.
I don’t want a Democrat elected, but neither do I want to give a RINO a career boost into national politics. I consider that to be more damaging to conservatism, particularly since the House will stay republican.
Interesting. I worked for Martha two years ago, and do so again on a more than weekly basis. I have had many one on ones with the candidate over the past two years. I do not know any basis for your comments on a porous border and same sex marriage. Moreover I know for a fact that Martha is strongly pro-life.
Regarding your comments regarding her military career, I have no knowledge.
I suspect that you are a Wooten supporter.
This conservative Catholic registered Independent, Tucson voter, supports Martha McSally.
I’m someone who was in Saudi during the same time frame she was, and who knew a number of A-10 pilots who loathed her.
“McSally said that while the U.S. healthcare system was broken, the Affordable Care Act was the “wrong diagnosis.” Though she supported the main legs of the law, including forcing insurers to cover preexisting conditions, allow young adults to stay on their parent’s insurance, and eliminating extra payments for women’s care, she criticized the law’s requirement that all Americans carry health insurance or pay a penalty.
The law, she said “uses mandates, penalties and taxes and that’s not the way to address to this issue.”...
...McSally couched her ideas in pragmatism. “We need to do this in a way that’s practical and also fair.”
She said the immigration system should serve the economic needs of the nation and argued that the quota system, in place in some form since 1924, needed to replaced with something that considered families. “We have a failed strategy right now and we need to change the system to respond to our needs.”
“This is a complex issue that can’t be explained in soundbites, we need to deal with root causes,” McSally said.”

Also:
“A lot of people seem to be evolving on that. You said last time out that you supported a constitutional amendment to limit marriage to one man and one woman. Now we have it in all these states.
I believe it’s primarily a state issue. When you’re answering these surveys, sometimes it’s a “yes/no” question when really it should be an essay answer that’s appropriate.
So you don’t support a federal constitutional amendment anymore?
I am not planning on spending my political capital on that type of issue. The way it was framed to me was, “If everything changed in the country and if somehow there was the voice of the people to come forward”which is what you would need to have for the constitutional amendment to come up”is that something you would vote for or against?” I don’t think that’s a practical reality. If we have any kind of constitutional amendment come up, I think a balanced budget should be the priority. My focus is putting people back to work, getting the economy going again, saving Davis-Monthan and the A-10, making sure that we’re able to get our debt under control, making sure we protect Social Security and Medicare, and getting our border secure.
So philosophically, on the question, you ...
Philosophically, I believe marriage is between one man and one woman, and it should be left to the states.
So the federal constitutional amendment, you would not support that any longer?
In a hypothetical situation, where the country has decided this is very important and they’ve gotten the support across the board in the country for it to come upthat’s a hypothetical situation. That’s not happening anytime soon.”

“I suspect that you are a Wooten supporter.”
I’m not an anyone supporter in this race. I had a very low opinion of her during my time in the military, backed by a number of A-10 pilots I met, and she was the least conservative of the 3 running in the primary. I think she is exactly what the GOP-E would LOVE to rally behind as a spokeswoman for the GOP...and she is not someone I can support.
The House will stay in GOP hands this fall. I have no need to support an establishment candidate who, if she wins, is likely to be pushed as an example for all Republicans to follow. I’d rather see her political ambitions end now, lest she become McCain’s heir apparent for when he dies in the Senate...
“McSally also supports illegal immigration. She mouths the words on a strong border, but her heart isnt in it.”
Thank you so much for the enlightenment. I agree with you completely. It’s bad enough to end up with the likes of Cochran, Scrotum Neck, and McLame, but we need not perpetuate “the breed.” Begins to look like we need a new party, because the GOP isn’t it.
