Politics Palin Targets Giffords For Defeat

Posted by Jim Nintzel on Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 3:11 PM

Fox News commentator Sarah Palin has put Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on notice!

Politico reports:


Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin rolled out a list of Democratic members of Congress she intends to target for defeat this year, announcing that she'll go after lawmakers who voted for health care reform and hail from districts she and Arizona Sen. John McCain won in the 2008 presidential election. Forty-eight Democrats represent districts that voted for McCain.

“With the president signing this unwanted and ‘transformative’ government takeover of our health care system today with promises impossible to keep, let’s not get discouraged,” Palin wrote in a post on her Facebook wall, urging supporters not to “get demoralized.”

“We’re going to hold them accountable for this disastrous Obamacare vote,” she continued.

The Democratic members she listed were: Ann Kirkpatrick (Ariz.), Harry Mitchell (Ariz.), Gabrielle Giffords (Ariz.), John Salazar (Colo.), Betsy Markey (Colo.). Allen Boyd (Fla.), Suzanne M. Kosmas (Fla.), Baron P. Hill (Ind.), Earl Pomeroy (N.D.), Charlie Wilson (Ohio), John Boccieri (Ohio), Kathy Dahlkemper (Pa.), Christopher Carney (Pa.), John M. Spratt, Jr. (S.C.), Tom Perriello (Va.), Alan B. Mollohan (W.Va.), and Nick J. Rahall II (W.Va.).

“We’ll aim for these races and many others,” she wrote. “This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington.”

Are you kidding 007? Have you no sense of excitement? This is going to be great. JD and Dishonest John trying to out tea-bag each other. No matter who wins the primary, the general public will be revolted by the winner. The Democrats could run a dead dog and get an easy 70%! Get yourself a beer and bag of popcorn or peanuts. This epic battle will be worth watching!

JoelFriday, the battle between these two will be nasty and maybe they will try to out do each other, so heatedly that our Democratic challenger will be a shoe in for the job. The Republican legislature needs to be tarred, feathered and run out of town at high noon. The governor can follow right behind the rest of them because she's no better than they are. Especially with the "wonderfull bubget" she just got done signing into law. The attorney general had the common sense to recommend that we don't attempt to join the legal battle against the Obama health care bill, that is being waged by a bunch of has been governors. Brewer went right over his head by signing an Executive Order, to be able to join the fight, at a time when she and the legislature are slashing local/state programs and financial support. Way to go! Now with that said I can go back to sleep.
