My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!
by BoyBlue Thu Jan 06, 2011 at 11:07:17 AM PST
I am from the Tucson area and live in Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords' district. I worked like a dog for her elections when she was in the Arizona House, surrounded by rightwing nutcases. When Arizona re-districted in 2002, a seat opened up and she was right smack in the middle of it. So was I because I live in Oro Valley, Arizona, which is at the heart of that - then - new CD. I was one of several people to talk her into running and pledging complete loyalty and pledging to raise as much money as possible for her.
She ended up running for the first time against a fellow AZ House member, Randy Graf who was a rightwing whacko who advocated guns in bars and was the "Russell Pearce before Russell Pearce" vis-a-vis border issues. With a LOT of hard work and plenty of money, Gabby won. Easier than thought, too. I never like to throw money in people's faces, but i have given Gabrielle Giffords THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars in both good times and bad times for me financially.
* BoyBlue's diary :: :: *
Fast forward to this election season. A weirdo asshole named Jesse Kelly who advocated ELIMINATING Social Security and was a tea bagger favorite got the GOP nom to run against her. I am gay and had been married and my spouse left me January 15, 2010. I shot myself in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt, because of that. Barely surviving, I spent two months in the hospital and still have some paralysis. I did receive a severance from my employer, as i had been laid off in December, 2009. That may have been part of the reason my spouse left me.
Anyway, after months of physical and mental rehab, I got back into the political scene and started working for Gabby once again. I raised over $100,000 for her and maxed her out myself out of my severance, even though i still don't have work and could not qualify for state aid because of my severance.
She wins her re-election and told me she was still a supporter of Speaker Pelosi at her victory party. We talked about how Nancy Pelosi was a successful woman and accomplished oh so much in just four years as Speaker.
Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports (out of the one eye in can still see out of) that Giffords voted AGAINST Nancy Pelosi as our Minority Leader. Rhetorical question: I fought back from my condition and jumped in with both feet to help Gabrielle Giffords for THIS shit???
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now. I won't lift a finger, make one phone call, nor will i EVER vote for her in the future. And why did she do this? Giffords never told me she was conservative Democrat. And her voting record is okay. Damn.

Not a single issue voter, but if I was, gay rights would be it. I just want Democrats to be tough. And I wish Obama were tougher. That's all. I'm a proud gay!

she did this or whom she voted for. It could have been Elvis or Jesus Christ...it accomplishes NOTHING but plays into the MEDIA NARRATIVE of Democrats against Pelosi. Just watch.

If you are satisfied with the way she votes; why not vote for her again?

Call their office and let them know... handwrite this diary on stationary, sign, and hand deliver it to her field office. Those kind of letters get attention.
DARTH SPECTER: I am altering the deal! Pray I don't alter it any further! LANDO REID: This deal keeps getting worse all the time!
“You people in AZ, forward this information to Rep. Grijalva (D-AZ) who insinuated on CNN that this shooting was due to all the “heated rhetoric” and “divisiveness” of politics today, in other words, Republicans and TEA Party members.”
There was another one as well, I think she said she was a State Senator...last name Lopez. She was on a local Tucson radio station and Fox News spouting the same crap.
These people are sick..it appears from his posts that he was angry at Giffords because she voted against his beloved Pelosi. Gay activism at its best and leftwing lunacy marches on.
Here’s the Google Cache Daily KOS thread that has been pulled by Daily Kos:
So, in reading the link, this was a posting of his on the extremist left wing site DailyKos. The FCC ought to look into that site.
:-)
Agreed. The shooter’s postings on his youtube account were full of grammar errors, spelling errors, and had the general appearance of the musings of an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic.
most definitively

This crazy shooter is an Oswald of the day: a psycho-commie. He is no conservative. He was pissed at the congress woman for voting against Nancy Pelosi.
“BoyBlue” on Daily Kos
“fallenasleep” on myspace
“Classitup10” on youtube
FBI should have a cake walk stringing this guy up.
gnip
What would they do? The FCC has no authority over a website.
The “Daily Koz” shooter...
I won't hold my breath...
Would right-wingers owe anyone an apology if he claimed to be an Ayn Rand fan and strong Reagan supporter? Hell no. The guy’s a lunatic. Put a bullet in his head, dump him in a shallow grave, and let’s get on with life.
Good post. Thanks.
Can any of you in AZ verify these claimed contributions? I assume the state must maintain a campaign disclosure website of some description. That would pretty much nail it.

I was thinking the FCC was the gov’t entity that Obama wants in charge of ‘net neutrality’.
Has anyone confirmed this is Loughner? I haven’t seen anything proving that yet.
