Giffords Gets Her San Francisco Treat
Phoenix fundraiser with Pelosi exposes Giffords’ true colors
TUCSON, AZ – So much for the “new center” charade. San Francisco’s own Nancy Pelosi will be in Phoenix on Saturday to headline a $500-a-head fundraising event for Gabby Giffords, allowing the two liberal birds of a feather to once again spend some quality time together.
“If southern Arizona voters needed any more proof that Gabby is a moderate-in-name-only, this Pelosi fundraiser makes it crystal clear,” Pima County Republican Party Chair Judi White said. “Gabby has been a reliable foot soldier for Pelosi, so it’s no surprise that Pelosi would want to shake the money tree for such a loyal supporter.”
Just a few of the instances where Giffords and Pelosi have voted together include:
H.R. 3162 – Voted to cut seniors’ Medicare, created a new tax on private health insurance, and opened the door to taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. [Roll Call 787]
H.R. 800 – Voted to strip workers of their right to a secret ballot in union elections. [Roll Call 118]
H.R. 2829 - Voted to allow taxpayer funds to be spent on needles for drug addicts. [Roll Call 589]
H.R. 1591 - Voted for a Democrat troop withdrawal bill that tied spending for our soldiers to billions of dollars in pork. [Roll Call 186]
“Gabby Giffords has fully embraced a Pelosi-led agenda that is far out of step with mainstream southern Arizona,” White said. “San Francisco already has enough representation in Congress. We deserve a leader who will stand up for southern Arizona.”

I think it is absolutely disgraceful the way Ms. Giffords acts when she is in Washington. When she is there, she is just the same as any of the “business-as-usual” crowd. But when she comes home to Southern Arizona, she expects us to believe that she is a true Arizonan, fighting for us?
Shame on her for being so deceitful. Shame on me for voting for her in 2006. It is a mistake I will not make again. I can’t say I agree with Tim Bee on every issue, but I know that he is a decent and honest man and will represent our piece of Arizona well. He has my vote for certain!
Shannon works for the Republican party… I’ve known her for years. Lets let the people have some say, not someone who was paid to comment
You’re a Loser works for Gabby. I’ve seen him everywhere with her. How about you stop talking for your boss and let her speak for herself once in awhile? Oh wait, if you did that people would discover how much they hate her.
