I admire her ability to recover from what she went through but

"I could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy."

Disgusting exploitation.

But then, even with her published cognitive disabilities, she is more coherent and lucid than Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters.

"...I could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy."

Apparently, she hasn't recovered yet...

http://news.yahoo.com/giffords-bipartisan-message-063300572.html

Among those who had been told of Giffords’s return was Vice President Joe Biden, who met with her privately for several minutes. “I said, ‘Now we’re both members of the Cracked Head Club,’” Biden later told reporters. “You know, I had two craniotomies.”


Well hells bells, that explains a lot of things...

If this had been a Republican congressional representative, the dems would have had to first question the effectiveness and cognative ability of the Republican first before they would be allowed to cast a vote after such a horrific experience...

Personally, I’m glad she is ok...

Good news that she is recovering! But what a joke, she just couldn’t take the chance???? They brought her in for drama.

let her run after all it is a free country. However she will have to arduously campaign and she will be asked legitimate but thoughtful questions to which she will have to respond.

Any attempt to have only pre submitted questions asked will massively backfire on her and given she just barely won last time and against a poor opponent, she will get soundly trounced despite the lib medias attempt to blare their sympathy (I will call it “playing the sympathy card)

Frankly I think she will have a primary opponent and will lose there once the polls shape up showing her with a problem

What happened was tragic, but this woman should not be canonized. If she truly believed in having her constituents represented in Congress, she would have stepped aside while she recovered.
As it stands her district has not really had representation since her shooting. Now she parachutes in for her Party and then parachutes back out back to rehab. What it shows is her “service” is all about her and her ambitions. This is nothing to be celebrated.

At least its not the senate. 1 of 435 is a lot better than 1 of 100.

“Giffords said in a statement”.....With all due respect to the Congresswoman, I’d think she would do her voting base a favor by speaking in person.

Maybe she can ask her esteemed colleagues (Mr VP for one...) to tone down the rhetoric of calling the Republicans and Tea Party members TERRORISTS and ask her moron Dem pals to cool it when they describe our side as BOMBING the economy.

Just maybe?....could she?....

this was the most disgraceful display of politics that I’ve ever seen.

The fact that this woman has not cast a vote in 8 months or so is a crime against our representative republic - a special election should have been held months ago.

Instead the American people are treated to a dog an pony show where the Congress hides behind a brain damaged woman in order to put America $7 trillion more in debt. Clapping and patting themselves on the back after the vote on a crisis they themselves created. Taking yet another shot at the Tea Party by putting the woman shot by the Tea Party (in their opinion) on a pedestal.

I want to puke.

Ms. Giffords has not been in Congress or apart of the debate since February.
I question whether she even totally understood the importance of what is going on.
To trot this poor woman out as a trained dog to vote was a travesty.
The bigger travesty is that she is still in congress at all.
Her district has not been represented at all and Gov. Brewer should have invoked that law in Arizona that if a elected official is out over three months a special election is called for.
you can damn well bet is this was a Republican, Independent, etc., the Democrats would have been beating the drumbeat for a special election.
Ms. Giffords needs to resign and heal.
