It Has To Be Said: Gabby Giffords Was Used As A Cheap Political Pawn Yesterday

Yesterday, Gabby Giffords made her return to the House floor yesterday to vote on the debt ceiling bill.
I'm sorry, but this was just a cheap political stunt by both the GOP and the Democrat leadership in hopes to gain sympathy votes to pass the debt ceiling bill. It was nothing more than that.
When you look at the video, Giffords more often than not, had the scared deer in the headlight look and really didn't recognize many of the people around her. I am sure it made a lot of people feel good, but to me, it didn't look like she was having a great time.
I hope Giffords continues to heal and get the treatment she needs. However, politicians need to stop using people who are injured and recovering, they need to stop using them for their political gain.



So, is Giffords going to be on the floor today, next week or in 5 weeks? I doubt it, so this was just a cheap political stunt by the House leadership. That's just disgusting.
