“Meanwhile the democrat caucus group says voting for this is like having a gun held to your head.”

Insensitive clods. Gabby Gifford was in the crowd. Did they think they were being funny?

They should resign immediately or at least suffer censure.

The capacity of a person who has migraines is questioned, though a bullet traveling through another one’s brain is not.

Needed repeating.

They still let that black congressman that thinks Guam could tip over if we house more marines there, Johnson I think is his name. so there is no mental test for congressmen, some they just let play with the pretty buttons.

Those NAZIs had some fighting spirit, too.

Should we commend them?

These effers are voting for the STATE to destroy the middle class, to “Nationalize Socialism,” which is exactly what the NAZIs stood for.

Eff her “fighting spirit.”

I’d only commend her if, after recovery, she said, “I resign. I’ve realized that life is too precious to be enslaved by the Statists that I used to be among.”

That would be a “fighting spirit” that I would commend, one that praises the value of life, not one that enslaves it.

Don’t doubt that the let will not wheel her around as a prop to pass their leftist garbage...just as they wheeled Brady around.

Only a congressman can get their brains blown out and apparently suffer minimal side effects, even return to work and cast votes within several weeks.

Demoscats know no shame. Next they will dig up Ted Kennedy, Paul Wellstone and re-animate them to vote.

I said a few kind words about a woman who got shot in the brain and struggled to recover.

How on earth you managed to translate that into me approving of the vote she cast, I can’t begin to imagine, because I don’t possess your obviously twisted brain.

I understand her vote was actually “toast,” but it was construed to mean “yes.”

Now Congresswoman Giffords is a NAZI?

It is possible to disagree with someone while at the same time wishing them complete recovery from a horrible undeserved attack.

Sheeesh....get a grip.
