Despite the attempts to try to link tea party outrage against a growing government, to the murderer who attempted to murder Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, the left loses credibility again.
A facebook page started by a tea partier, Jason Asselin, receives recognition by Arizona's Tuscon Citizen:
Jason Asselin identifies as Republican and associates himself with the Tea Party. He volunteered for the campaign of Tea Party-backed Rep. Dan Benishek, who was elected to the seat earlier held by Bart Stupak. Asselin lives in Iron Mountain, Michigan, but when he heard the news that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had been shot, he immediately thought: “That could have been him (referring to Benishek). That could have been anyone.”The good people of this nation are praying for Giffords and the families of the murdered. I suspect many are praying for the murderer and his family as well.
Asselin is passionate that political bickering ought to be thrown out at times like these. “Our positions political don’t matter right now,” he said. “We need to come together as America.” He said that the motto emerging out of the 9/11 tragedy stuck with him. “United we stand, divided we fall: I try to live by that every day.”Despite the attempts to place blame on political speech, the truth is there for all to see. Americans are good, faithful people who know right from wrong.
Teapartier Wishes To Give Facebook Prayer Page To Gifford’s Family
