Talked to a die hard Obama fan over the weekend. Told her I had watched C-SPAN and heard parts of the bill read. Told her what was in the bill. Her reaction “WHAT????!, you’re kidding”. When I explained the bill caps doctor’s fees but not lawyer’s fees, gives AARP 1 billion, gives insurance cover by not permitting anyone to sue for denial of treatment, and can send ordinary citizens to jail for up to five years, she could not believe it. I also explained how Big Pharma would be exempt from lawsuits on any and all medications they produced. I think the last straw, which I saved for last, was telling her our Progressive Rep voted against the bill for those reasons. WE have a convert. Now she gets it. Vote ‘em out if they don’t listen. Good on ya, Tucson!!!

Sadly what you saw in that video was every single person in Tucson who is to the right of Van Jones. Tucson is Berkely with rattlesnakes.

I wish this article had mentioned that there is an amazing Conservative candidate and a Marine Corps combat veteran who is challenging Gabby for her seat.

JESSE KELLY

It’s important that people know that there are far superior alternatives out there.

AZ is wising up and Kelly will clinch the win!!

Now…if only they could get rid of McShame…

Hopefully 2010 will have the GOP supporting a solid conservative or she will win again. paraff on November 11, 2009 at 7:27 PM

There are a couple of strong Conservatives vying for the Republican nomination already. I like Jesse Kelly. Here's my video of a Town Hall meeting he took over in Sahaurita/Green Valley this past August when Gabby canceled.

I live in Tucson in Gifford’s district. She is definitely NOT a Blue Dog. Yet somehow she keeps getting elected. I just do not understand it. Part of the reason is that the Republican party keeps supporting weaker more moderate candidates. I think many Republicans in the past have said why bother voting. The Republicans throw solid conservatives such as Randy Graffe overbooard. Hopefully 2010 will have the GOP supporting a solid conservative or she will win again.

Can Tucson still be that shocked at a Dem’s actions after all these years?

Known as the Hippie Capitol of the SW even back in the 90’s and having a hand in shatting out such wonderful hard-core Dems as Raul Grijalva, Tom Volgy and Ed Pastor in a true Chicago-style political machine, it would seem they’re still wallowing in their own socialist filth created in the voting booths.

Where’s John C. Scott to sum it all up when ya need him?

Has anyone sent this Gabby? We would not want her to miss her debut. bloggless on November 11, 2009 at 2:46 PM

I tweak her on twitter often. This is not her debut. Check here, here, here and here :-)

Frighteningly scary people those teapartiers. I can see why they are considered extremists, but the Ft. Hood shooter is not. /sarc

It’s not surprising that a Blue dog was a lap dog. It is surprising that Giffords isn’t a total dog.
That makes the score: Hot conservative women in the public eye: 100+, Passable dim women: 1.

By: Fox News swapped out some video to make a recent protest look bigger than it really was. As Ed pointed out, it was both stupid and unnecessary. But let’s not pretend the left really cares about the truthful use of imagery in the media. Sorry, that c

Maybe she calls herself a “Blue Dog” because Nancy Pelosi makes her sit on a block of ice in the Democratic cloak room and bark like a dog?

I know … I’m reaching here. :D

In 2006 when the Gabster was first elected to congress, the Republicans engaged in a heated primary to succede Jim Kolbe. The NRCC intervened in the race and endorsed the RINO candidate before the vote. The conservative candidate was nominated, but Kolbe,who was retiring, refused to back him. Gabby was endorsed by both local papers and every TV station. She won by about 20,000 votes.

This is just another reason why I hate RINOs!!!I was a precinct committeeman at the time, but this crap drove me away. I haven’t been back since.

Looks like the only thing “blue dog” about Giffords is that her dog collar is too tight around her neck and it’s cutting off the blood supply to her brain.

LOL! That was my first thought when the idea was brought up! WKRP was the only show that my BA brother and I would actually sit down and watch with our folks.

@Laura: I like your idea better – we are in the deep South, so perhaps we’ll just let ‘em fermet for a few days.

It’s great to see the Tea Partiers actively opposing this fraud.

However, a lot more will be necessary to beat her. No offense to Doug Hoffman, who made the best of his abilities, but I hope Az-8 folks can find someone better than his type to run against this liberal b****. Someone articulate, charismatic and with lots of money, but also principled. I get the idea the former Republican (forgot his name) talk show host who used to represent this district upset the well-healed suburbanites. You need someone like Bob McDonnell who is smart and can talk to them in their language. And he or she shouldn’t run a one issue (anti-illegals) campaign. Good luck in finding your candidate. Start looking now. Any Republican running in a district full of these shallow upscale dumb f***ing suburbanites who vote for frauds like this Giffords and Obama needs to go to school on the McDonnell campaign.

I agree about the calmness, too. That is what marks the teaparties.

I guess some of the uglier signs do give the media a way to illustrate “hatred.”

Can’t control folks, but it’s a lot more fun when that stuff isn’t part of it.

I truly think that the dems are convinced that once this passes, it will be so good and so well received that they will be immune from being voted out of office.
They are convinced that we really need this bill and really want this bill, we just don’t understand it.
Even Bill is convinced that if Hillary’s bill would have passed it would have been great.
This is where people who say there are no differences between the two parties don’t get it…

The effects will only be felt in 2012 in a positive sense for the Dims if they can immediately pass AMNESTY with the help of McCain and Grahamnasty. Thus putting 30 million illegals and as many more as can hop the border before the elections in Dim pockets.

The long term consequences are what they think will benefit them. Turning the whole country into a third world, taxed poor, Government dependency.

Keep a sharp eye and a sharp stick out for your RINO’s and Blue Dogs amnesty is a killer!

“I think best part of the video is the audience responses to her speech. It sounded like unanimous jeering. Her expression is priceless.

[OMG....they're not clapping and cheering...I don't know what to do...I'll just keep reading and get out quick...]

Bob, she got exactly the same reaction in Sierra Vista the night before, and she looked genuinely puzzled. I said to the guy next to me …. She really doesn’t have a clue…Look at her . All I can say is that she made a HUGE mistake voting for this bill, and against the Stupak amendment. She works for US, not Pelosi, and she’ll find that out in 2010, believe me.
