New Bee ad ties Giffords to Pelosi, 9/11 plotter

State Sen. Pres. Tim Bee (R-Tucson) has gone negative in his bid to unseat freshman U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Tucson) in the 8th Congressional District, releasing a new television ad that attacks Giffords for voting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) "over 90 percent of the time," failing to support the troops and being soft on terror suspects.

Here is the transcript: 

 

Voice Over: Nancy Pelosi - leading Congress in the wrong direction.

Gabrielle Giffords - votes with Nancy Pelosi ninety-percent of the time.               

Giffords voted for Pelosi’s plan to end the Iraq war by blocking funding for U.S. troops in battle.

Pelosi supports Giffords’s own bill to allow captured terrorists to be tried in our courts with the same full legal rights as American citizens.  

Gabrielle Giffords votes for Nancy Pelosi’s agenda ninety-percent of the time.

As the announcer talks about the bill Giffords cosponsored, which would have allowed terror suspects and suspected enemy combatants to challenge their imprisonment, an image of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who masterminded the 9/11 attacks, appears on the screen, with the words "Full Legal Rights of American Citizens."

"90%" is Bee's fifth commercial of the campaign, but the first to attack Giffords directly.

it's kind of hard to support


it's kind of hard to support the troops if you cut their funding though.

Giffords


Gabrielle Giffords has done more for us at D-M than any politician I have encountered in my 18 year career.
You don't have to be for continuing the war in Iraq to support the troops. The two are not mutually exclusive. She has supported legislation to take care of us and our families, and oh BTW, keeping us in Iraq indefinately while we lose Afghanistan is more of a backhanded support that we are getting from a lot of GOP pols.
Military people, especially those in southern AZ, need Giffords in office for a second term.

re: fine 2 say


The reason the CD-5 ads were not news was because it was not Mitchell running the ads. It was the DCCC which is not even allowed to communicate with any campaign...

So very different than the actual candidate running an attack ad.

Funny how this is news. It


Funny how this is news. It seems just minutes after the election in CD 5 Mitchell was running attack ads and it does not seem to matter.

At least on this add it follows logic. B.O. likes to say the McCain votes with Bush… hello Bush does not vote. I guess he just does not get it. Voting records are important and if she did vote with the leader of the most misguided Speaker in the history of House of Representatives then it should be stated.
