What a beautiful moment in America during one of the most ugliest times in our nation's history. For a brief moment, she made me remember what we can really achieve if we try.

No judgment here. For all we know, Gabby Giffords could have insisted on being present. Giffords is an amazing woman, working hard to regain her life. She deserves our admiration, support and prayers for a full recovery.

She's a Blue Dog Dem, so she's cool.

No. She knew for 12 hours. Mark called her in the early hours. Get your facts right.

Go Gabby!! And Nancy's tribute was beautiful.

She looked great. It was an uplifting moment in a difficult situation.

I hope everyone reading this will do whatever it takes to vote in EVERY election we each, as U.S. citizens, have the opportunity to vote in - local, state and federal.

She is an inspiration to millions. Period.

What she has done that's so great is to provide inspiration and act as living proof that life is precious. You're sick.

I don't doubt she "wanted" to be there. But it's a fact that others helped orchestrate this. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, for example, has acknowledged that it was known for a few days that Gabby would be there, and that it was being kept a "state secret." So clearly, there was an intent to trot her out as a big spectacle to distract everyone from how much this debt deal stinks. Either way, I was glad to see Gabby. Warmed my heart. But she deserves better than to be a "prop."

As reported in the news 8/2/2011> it was Gabby Giffords' decision to show up and cast her vote, knowing how important the debt crisis vote is.
