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.
