I just saw her appearance on the Floor, God bless her. I'm sure this will be met with scorn, but she was obviously Coached to say Thank You, and she did that a mile a second, saying apparently nothing else.

I have ZERO doubt she is not mentally capable of performing her duty at this point in time. RATS will prop her up...attach the obvious as she runs for reelection against NO ONE as it's a no win situation for a Republican.

She should resign and get healthy to what ever degree that is. We don't need a Debbie Scuzzyman Schultz of the West, one is enough. They are best Pals, that tells you all you need to know about her FALSE Moderate views.

This is really a ‘Harry High School Moment’. Sad! Sad! And, more sad!

I’m glad she’s doing better. It’s profoundly macabre of the Democrats to wheel her around like a prop, though. You have to pretty dead inside to use a seriously injured human being as marketing device.

since being shot clear through the left side of the brain in an assassination attempt in Tucson Jan. 8.

That people actually believe this, even on FR, is... depressing.

What actually happened? Frankly, I don't know. But if you think a woman was actually, really shot point-blank through the entire left side of her head with a 9mm bullet in January, and is voting in Congress in August, I've a bridge, a swamp, and half a frickin' planet to sell you - cheap.

I remember the Dems talking about her running for Senate while I was reading stories about her still missing a piece of her skull. They will do anything for a yes vote.

I don’t think there is any proof Senator Byrd had a pulse the last year he was in office.

But none of that has anything to do with her being the victim of a horrible crime.

I said a few kind words about a woman who got shot in the brain and struggled to recover. How on earth you managed to translate that into me approving of the vote she cast, I can’t begin to imagine, because I don’t possess your obviously twisted brain.

Idiot. I could name many fanatical tyrants and commies that had a fighting spirit too......how many kind words do you have for them?

You want to talk about twisted brains, go look in a mirror jackwagon troll.

Geeez. What a load. The commie ‘RATS are still out there confusing reality with a TV movie. Gaby’s big final scene. That’s a wrap! Go ahead and roll the credits Chuck! I wonder who will be playing “Gaby” in the ‘RATS’ movie version.

Wow, your reasoning is quite impressive.

And the Marxist returns, proud and happy to vote for anything her puppeteer, Pelosi, tells her to. And definitely proud to vote FOR MORE taxes, any time, anywhere. Sent the rest of us peasants to substandard healthcare, all while she has received nothing but “Jaguar”-care.

The big self-proclaimed hero who trampled the little girl and others to get to Giffords had no blood on his clothes as she was being wheeled out. Why is that exactly? They didn’t have time to throw a blanket or something modest over her, but he had time to change his clothes?

That had to be the most disgusting freakin scene I have ever seen.

I've had it, I'm done with any notion this Country can be saved in any peaceful fashion.

It's over, imho.

She needs to be commended for her fighting spirit.

Damn right she should be commended no matter how she votes.

The fact that you try to draw some sort of equivalency between a brain-damaged congresswoman and fanatical tyrants and commies is bizarre.

If saying Giffords=Hitler somehow fulfills a need you obviously have for imagined moral superiority...have fun with it.

How dare Giffords struggle back from near death and show her face in public. Las Vegas Ron does not approve!!!!

Yeah baby, commend those who vote to send your Country over the cliff to ruin.....just cuz she got shot by one of her own.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't deserve what happened but I will not applaud enemies of this Country.

I'd laugh if it weren't so absurd, and dangerous.

You can bet that Hollywood put the ‘RATS up to putting on that show. What a disgusting load of crap. Hope my ***! There is no hope left for this country.

She’s an American, a fellow citizen who returned to work after being shot in the head. That is commendable and I don’t give a shit whether you agree or not.
