It is most unfortunate that the people of Gifford's district 'lost' a year by not having any representation in Congress. Why not focus on that greater good?
Decisions based on emotional responses are seldom sound decisions.
@ramv36 Of course, as a Missourian, I have little room to talk: many years ago one of our gubernatorial candidates died in a place crash, yet a few months later against all reason and logic, we elected this dead man to lead our state in a landslide vote. Then, a person no one voted for was appointed to the position after the election. Once again, decisions based on emotion are quite often unsound decisions by their very definition.
i dont mean to be rude or uncaring but she did come back to vote for debt limit vote. so if she was sound enough to come back for that then she should go back to congress for full duty. once again not to be uncaring or rude.
David Frum, like David Brooks, is supposed to offset the crazies of the RNC. You should see Brooks' old stuff for the Weekly Standard. He wouldn't be caught dead putting that stuff out today. But he owes his present status to that same WS which means whenever Brooks gets the call he will do as he's told regardless. Same with Frum. "We'll give it to the Frum fella, he's the republican soul & conscience" An Astronaut named Kelly who happens to be Giffords' husband might differ.
She probably should resign...How long will they hold her seat open?..anyway..if she someday wants to run again she'd win easily...right? As for the political games people play...a liberal dem will take her place anyhow...like it really matters who represents your district....get real people.
@MarkFFHH Get the hell outta here. Those of us who live in this district will make that decision. And a liberal Dem WILL NOT take her seat because this isn't a majority liberal district and Giffords isn't a liberal Dem herself and she never has been. The right wing wackos want this seat....period. And throwing her out of it is their way of getting it since they can't win it in an election. We'll hold her seat open as long as we want to.
@desertdetroiter Calm down my Hippie Comrade.......Maybe you need to smoke some more weed...or maybe its just that time of the month, either way you are wrong,Giffords is a moderate like Obama is a Reagan Conservative. The whole political scale has moved far to the left over the past 50 years or so. In his day John Kennedy and Harry Truman were considered Liberal...by todays standard they are hardcore conservatives.Funny how things change,Right Comrade? Even Bush is a Liberal. The Marxist won.
holy shit. I saw this title and I knew was assumption was right. I knew itd just be a matter of weeks before they label her as incompetent to be a rep. or something.
Well fuck, the GOP had a functionally illiterate man in the Whitehouse for 8 years. Why should they be up in arms about a temporary vacancy by Giffords.
NEWSFLASH!! Due to TORT REFORM in Texas, a lady was misdiagnosed, had both legs cut off, discovered that she didn't need to have them cut off, and now can't find an attorney who will represent her.
Wow. Just when I think I couldn't *possibly* be more disgusted with the Reich Wing, they continue to reach new heights of sociopathic disregard for humanity. I suppose soldiers returning from Iraq PTSD and no legs should be just as callously cast aside, as well? I guess so, if the re-thug-licans' betrayal of 9-11 heroes is any indication.
Go fuck yourself, Frum.
And, your sociopathic, Chamber of Commerce whore party, too.
@ramv36 Yes, sociopathic disregard for humanity. For all the right's big-government attempts to regulate every uterus in the country, they don't give a flying fuck about said fetuses once they turn into babies. Cutting medicaid, food stamps & other safety net programs so low that families in need can't even feed their kids- THAT is sociopathic disregard for humanity.
If you want to ban abortion, but don't want poor kids to eat, you're not "pro-life." You're anti-children & anti-choice.
I found this writer douche and he is apparently confused as to why he is getting the attention... he thinks its a completely reasonable discussion to be holding. I gave him a piece of my mind, if you'd like to as well, go here:
They are scared like shit that she is gonna come back taking on Republicans, and because of the country's sympathy towards Giffords, they will go down!
you bleeding hearts would say the same thing if a conservative was shot in the head so get off your high horse! She helped lower the S&P rating!

This is all Repuklicans do. Work on taking power, demonizing, lying, fear-mongering...all while pretending to be Christians.
Even now that they have the majority. What are they doing? Saying "NO." They got their tax cuts for millionaires, so fuck everybody else.
These people make me nauseous.

@johnny718bravo Glad to see the left practicing the 'toning down of the rhetoric' that was advocated in the wake of Giffords' shooting.
"Dear rightwingers and teabaggers, go fuck yourselves." is what passes for a sound and logically derived adult argument these days, I suppose.
Now that she has resigned of her own accord, I assume we can leave her in peace while we get back to the business of the nation.
