Title: Lesser of 2 evils...

This is a no win situation for the 8th District. Neither of them are
qualified in my opinion, but after hearing Jesse speak on a few occasions I
would have to say I hope Giffords wins.

Title: Well

I think this is the first time I have disagreed with Knight Rider’s comments.
That’s kool, dissent is healthy. As a conservative, Jesse is my candidate.
Giffords has proven to be a token of the Liberal leaning socialist type that
claim to know what is best for the people, despite what we say (Health Care
“Reform” is just an example). But, again, differing opinions make this land a
great place to live. Come November, voters can look at Giffords record and
decide, yes, that’s the way, on no, hit the highway. See ya soon.

Title: Gloves are off so don't judge

Walt and “Just Me” you’re right her record speaks for itself, she made her
bed and I hope she finds the nails she tried to build our coffins with.
Henry, Do some more research…as a friend of the family I can say “you don’t
know what you are talking about for the most part”. Jesse is a fine young man
who has stood up for this country and now wants to make a better future for
us and his own children; he or Paton would have been great for us. The only
thing “Gabby Barbie” has done is help VA (being a vet it’s good, but not
enough). Nothing else she said during her campaigns has happened. Take a look
at her voting record, she has voted against everything we NEED, not just
want. Even if I didn’t know Jess I would vote for him just to get her
“Mattel” butt out of office.

Title: You say that you are a friend

You say that you are a friend of family and he’s a nice boy. Otherwise a
completely content free post. …Calling Giffords a Barbie when all you have
is Gomer Pyle is a total joke.If you know him so well, why did he drop out of
college and why doesn’t he try something more in his league like dog catcher
or a real job first? Why do you place things in quotes for no reason?

Title: HH apparently you have no

HH apparently you have no idea what a real job is because Jesse served his
country honorably. You obviously have a problem with the military because
every chance you get you trash talk it. …I bet that is it because soldiers
do more work in one day then you have probably done your whole life.

Title: I spent as long in the

I spent as long in the military as he did, I have two bachelors degrees,
never worked for daddy and have 20 years experience running a business that I
started from nothing. I am not qualified to jump right into congress with no
political experience. Your hero Kelly has nothing but 4 years in the military
and just like you wraps himself in the flag when anyone questions his total
lack of qualifications for even a minor local office. Once again, you have
absolutely nothing.

Title: Military service

Just want to mention that military service, especially during war time, does
not guarantee that the veteran will become a good politician regardless of
party or affiliation. Some are, or become, liars and thieves. Examples of
that are John Kerry, John Murtha, John McCain, etc. (not saying those with
the name of “John” are the ones as a norm). Of course, the likes of Giffords
have not been tested in combat but that doesn’t mean they are less qualified
- they just can’t relate to certain things nor have they developed
sensitivity to them. Giffords made a big deal about getting the North Gate of
Fort Huachuca opened and staffed while at the same time hordes of illegals
were streaming across the border. Where are her priorities? Are they photo
opting and political tap-dancing?

Title: Walt you are correct. Also it

Walt you are correct. Also it was the West Gate. If that is her only good
thing she has done then it is a very weak one. She has tap danced around the
issue of illegal immigration and will continue to do so. If you want 2 more
years of ignoring the border problem then vote for Giffords. If you want
someone that is going to fight to get the border fence we deserve and need
then vote for Kelly. If you want a Pelosi puppet for another 2 years and
someone that is just as radical as Obama then vote for Giffords. If you want
someone that will vote against the Obama administration then vote Kelly. We
need to bring balance back to the government and this is a start by voting
out liberals and voting in conservatives like Kelly. Giffords has stated many
times she is a moderate but her voting record shows she is a left wing nut
job to the core. Vote Jesse Kelly in November if you want to take our
government back.

Title: The only record Kelly has is

The only record Kelly has is the past 9 months of him running his mouth. He
wasn’t even registered as a republican until last fall. It’s enough
though.End social security? The old folks will vote him back to Montana….
