Giffords is a blue dog democrat, not a leftwing wacko.
“Giffords is a blue dog democrat, not a leftwing wacko.”
Giffords went as far left as she could given her district. On big votes, she was allowed to vote against the democrat line - IF Pelosi already had enough votes to pass the legislation.
In one case, Giffords voted no, and then remained in the well of the House with a yes vote, ready to switch if Pelosi needed her vote. That makes her a damned liar!
And evidentally knows Rep. Michele Bachmann very well. Bachmann was described as being furious about this happening to her 'good friend' Gabby Giffords.
