The Citizen Newspaper wrote that Gabby is on the right track to become President of The United Sates. It is very possible. She has just as much experience as Barrack Obama in Government. Her folks owned a small tire business which gives her the economic credentials and I think she traveled overseas with Nancy Pelosi which gives her the International experience. Yep, she is probably more qualified than Obama—we could have an upset at the Democratic Convention.

It seems that Gabby was in Southern Arizona just long enough to pass out some disinformation on her Farm Bill Tour. She explains that her support comes from her interest in financially helping the organic farmers. What she doesn’t mention is the organic farmer she wishes to help could have am adjusted gross income of $2,500,000 and qualify under the current guidlines. The Bush Administration wishes to lower this to $200,000 adjusted gross income a figure that makes sense which is why the Democratic majority rejected the lower figure. President Bush vetoed the Farm Bill because of bloated fat and pork barrel spending.
From 2003 to 2005 farmer’s grossing under 2.5 million dollars recieved $9.8 billion in crop subsidy’s and $34.8 billion in commodity program payments. So much for the small organic farmer. If anyone heard Sen. Max Baucus (D) Montana talk you would have heard how he plans to pull another $8 billion to $10 billion for new social programs funded through the Farm Bill with additional related taxes. This little nugget would have increased the Farm Bill to over $280 billion over the next 5 years.
Something to think about, residential housing uses less than 1% of the ground water pumped while agraculture uses about 80%. The homeowner (1%) is told we must conserve water or else but the farmer (80%) seems to be forgotten as far as water conservation is concerned.
Gabby doesn’t talk about the bloated portion of the Bill including grants for free internet service, hundreds of millions will go to the “Socially Disadvantaged Farmer”, ( What’s that?) and adding breakfast programs to free school lunches and expansion of the Farm Wefare program.
Does it seem a little disengenuous of Gabby to parrot Nancy Pelosi in demonizing the President on the economy and then turn around and vote for this stinker?

Next time you see a quote from Gabby Giffords look closely at who it actually comes from. It seems Gabby is missing in action which is a good campaign strategy for her. When Scarpinato (Star) calls and quotes a member of the campaign staff, they have deniability. The other side of the coin is if Gabby says nothing and does nothing she cannot make a mistake. If you remember, in the 2006 election Gabby always had a surrogate speak for her when debating her Republican rival.
She will not be able to play that game with Tim Bee or his Campaign Manager Meg Econ. I predict you will not see Gabby debate Tim Bee because of her poor performance record in these types of encounters. Speaking of a poor record I just came across Gabby’s voting record (identical to Pelosi’s) as it applies to oil and gas prices. More to come……………………

Giffords No.1 in using Taxpayer Dollars for Campaign Mailings
Published May 5, 2008 Gabby Giffords 0 CommentsWe have known for quite a while about Gifford’s blatant abuse of the franking privilege extended to Congress but the current eye opening revelation by “The Star Newspapers” Daniel Scarpinato shows Gifford’s and her handlers have no shame. According to federal disclosure statements Gifford’s beautiful, glossy. color campaign brochures that she sent out cost the taxpayers one quarter million dollars to print and mail. She has reached the status of number “1” in spending taxpayer dollars for mailing in all of Congress.
Gabby and her team have no respect for hard earned taxpayer dollars and must feel it is their duty to spend the money in shameless self promotion. We demand that she pay back the public funds she used and replace them with her campaign funds which she should have used to begin with. Gabby, one quarter of a million dollars would pay for a lot of meals on wheels for our seniors.
