Just got through to my representative’s office in Tucson, and the aide there informed me that Gabby Giffords will be voting yes for healthcare. She couldn’t cite the reason, though I tried to draw her out, but said it could be found on her website. I informed this worker ( or comrade) that I had donated to her GOP opponent Jonathan Payton and would actively work against her reelection.

I told her that this is suppose to be a representative government, and the people in her district were overwhelming 2 to 1 against Obamacare. according to The Arizona Daily Star the US Chamber of Commerce poll in our district has 60% oppose and 32% in support.

Apparently she doesn’t want to serve the people who elected her to serve ( which I didn’t) and out she will go-—back to selling tires.

I am so angry, but not surprised. You should have seen the balderdash and obfuscating in her letter responding to my email last week.

Here’s her number: 520 881-3588, tell her aides that she’s a disgrace!

I also called the other Tucsonian representative's office, the progressive Raul Grijalva, and they said he was still thinking about it. I think Big Sis Janet stopping work on the virtual fence at our border is not a coincidence. Raul must be very happy, and will let it show. (Heaven forbid!)

Ann Kirkpatrick (D) according to her office is also still a swing vote.

The trend of these “undecided” reps is becoming clear. They will pay dearly...

Did they threaten her children or bribe her with your taxdollars?

Gifford and Kirkpatrick are just a couple of ditzy, Obama rubber stamps. Thinking messes up their hair so they don't engage in that activity.

Kirkpatrick has already said she's voting for CommieCare. She's doing it for "the churldren".

Today Rush sai that Pelosi had called a closed door meeting with just the women Reps.

He said he didn’t know what it was about (or wouldn’t say) but we all knew.

They were all throwing shoes and food at a couple of holdouts until they gave in.

Well, not really. But I figured that there were just a couple of holdouts who were going to come in for pressure from all the socialists.

Kirkpatrick voted yes last time and had all sorts of gushy stuff about the bill on her website.

I find it very hard to believe that she’s “undecided.”

At this point, any "undecided" is just leveraging for the biggest bribe. It's a done deal - better to begin moving to next step.

Lawsuits from every state to tie it up in court forever and the same strategy MAO-bama attempted on Sarah Palin in 2009 but she outsmarted OBOZO.

This charade together with the Kucinich flip-flop, has the earmarks of an orchestrated mini-bandwagon designed to build pressure on remaining undecideds or shakey opposition votes.

Last minute, train is leaving, don't get left behind.

She was a hold out, and a mangy blue dog democrat.

Yesterday there was a protest at noon, tons of people drove by her office honking their horns. A real disruption to the neighborhood.

She has been quoted as saying she was not going to be intimidated by the “right wing.”

I knew she would vote yes, as she did when the bill was first up. She would say during her townhall meetings, she was considering both sides of the healthcare bill, then proceed to list all the reason it made sense to her.

High Hewitt has mentioned her a couple times as being on the fence. I don’t think she ever was. The Tea Party movement is very strong here in the Old Pueblo, and she is a complete sellout.

Well, Gabby, why don’t you just move to Nevada and apply for a job at the Mustang Ranch? You have already shown yourself to be a whore...

She's not. She doesn't decide much of anything and instead just follows along behind the rest of the donkeys. Using her brain messes up her hair.

They say they are “undecided” but they already have their minds made up to vote yes, they are just waiting for the best offer to come their way. No better then prostitutes except even whores have more class
