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.

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.

Homos are one of the very few groups who will insult someone by saying--in effect--"you are like us." If you are aware of this tendancy, you will discern a definite pattern. It's a sure sign of self-loathing as well as mental illness, IMO.

Homosexuality is a mental/spiritual illness. You can predict with certainty that people afflicted with it, will say things and take positions that are counter-intuitive, and or, convoluted, to say the least.

Excellent point. I’m late to the discussion too but knew that FR would have the real skinny on the shooter so signed on to get the truth. I have been taking a bit of a political sabbatical over the holidays but this tragedy put an end to my mini break. I can’t believe how the media and the dems are acting...it’s the Wellstone memorial times 50. A new low for them today.

Aren’t conservatives supposed to be better that that?

You sound like a Saul Alinsky fan. I am not saying you are, only that you sound like one. One of his Rules for Radicals was to hold the enemy to the highest possible standards while there are none for them. Lying, cheating, personal destruction, stealing elections, anything goes. Our always going to a street fight wearing boxing gloves and expecting a referee is what has brought us to the brink of losing our country to the Communists. We must fight back any way that is effective or it is all over.

I can’t believe how the media and the dems are acting...

I can. Easily.

The way the MSM and liberals behaved after Bush beat Gore in 2000 showed their true colors when their side loses a close election. That was the beginning of the angry rhetoric that has only gotten worse and worse ever since.

When Bush beat Fortunate Son John Kerry in 2004, the "lie after lie after lie" mantra began, as well as the filibustering of judicial nominations.

The MSM and liberals went into full political assassination mode in 2006 when the Mark Foley scandal allowed them to parlay the nastiest of innuendo into a strategy to sweep out Republicans and replace them with marginal moderate Democrats in "red" districts. It was a bunch of macaca, but it emboldened them.

The 2008 election of Barack Obama was based on a false narrative of Obama's life story that has angered ordinary Americans as they came to learn that Obama lied his way into the Oval Office in order to nationalize many private industries for the unions.

The 2010 mid-term results that threw out the Democrats in an historic wave that was being called a racist plot by the Tea Party.

The MSM and liberals have been buildiing the argument since 2000 that running against Democrats is racist, that campaigning against Democrats is hate speech, and that winning against Democrats is illegitimate.

They tried to indict the Tea Party, but couldn't back up their inciteful rants with facts or video evidence.

It's not surprising that the only people who actually engaged in violence are the angry liberals themselves. This has been escalating since 2000, but it has been the Left that has felt free to operate with no rules and no fear of punishment or reprisals.

Great post!

I’d like to know why this guy was not in a mental institution of some kind. He was clearly deranged.

Are we sure that Jared is Blue Boy?

That's not the point. Here we see whackos of Jared's kind expressing a desire to kill a Congress Person.

yet another homo spewing his vile ideas...

It’s unfortunate his suidice attempt was not successful. What we need now is a swift means of imposing the death penalty, and no 10 years and a million dollars of appeals and legal BS either. What doubt is there of his guilt?

Kos pulled his posts but last I checked they were in the Google cache and elsewhere. They can blabber and try to hide but the truth is right here in his own stupid, incoherent words.
