I do not wish her ill, but I do not believe the people around her are doing anything but allowing her public appearances to be used for public relations, not gpvernance.
And the press, the so-called objective press, doesn't seem interested in the governing part of the job of a representative.
Am I alone? How do the people of the district believe?
I think it’s a very sensitive subject to talk about whether her constituents are really being represented in Congress as she undergoes her recuperation.
Yes, her serving Thanksgiving dinner at the base is a photo op and a publicity event.
The media does not want to delve into whether she is capable of doing her job in Congress.
“Sorry folks, but I really think this is exploitation of this woman. And the people of her district are not being represented in Congress.”
Agreed. My exact thoughts also.
These people elected a pro-abortion Democrat. What such voters believe is essentially emotionally-driven and has little to do with sentient human thinking.
I think it sucks, but I thought she was a Pelosi-puppet before her head injury...just more so now.
The Dims don't care if she can vote, due to the Repub majority in the House. As it is, they can use her for advertising purposes, and don't have to worry about a Repub grabbing the seat.
If she runs again, it's quite possible she could win on an emotion-based vote in this district. Lots of flaming libs. The mediots can do a good job of hiding any cognitive problems she might have, by issuing press releases from her office, and by telling us what she thinks and says, without sticking cameras and mikes in her face. Accompany that with archive videos of her smiling and glad-handing with supporters, and there you go.
It’s not about serving the district....They are keeping her name in the news for a reason. I think she will run (and probably win) the Senate seat up for grabs in 2012 purely on emotional voters.
It’ll be even worse next year.
I fully expect the ‘rats and the ‘rat-run media to drag her around the campaign trails, prop her up on the stage and let her utter a few words and revive the false-storyline that it was the Republicans that caused her to be shot.
Who knows whether or not she will even be able to completely understand what they are doing to her.
She is the same kind of political whore as the Missouri Carnahans, who bootstrapped a plane crash into political offices for all of them and millions of stimulus dollars into their pockets.
I have known several people who recovered well from brain injuries but it was a long process, with some set-backs along the way.
The other thing I wonder about is whether or not this advanced treatment she is receiving is available to GIs with similar injuries. I hope it is.
Oh, for crying out loud....and later this afternoon, she's going to be spoonfed herself.
Very moving on this Thanksgiving.
Wasn't she living in Houston before the shooting? How much time did she reside in the District before? I recall reading she only came back to her district for these street corner town meetings.
Give me a break! Who came up with this load? The commie ‘RATS are really going after the military and NASCAR vote (the “bitter clingers”) this year. I wonder what’s up. Their internal polls must be worse than anybody has imagined.
Sick minds think alike.
She should retire but they will run her just to keep the seat safely in dem hands.
Even though the majority in her district say she shouldn’t.
Also while you were marching in Broward my family and I were at the Supervisor of elections in W. Palm Beach doing likewise.
Hanging chad my ass.
She suffered through a remarkable event and survived. That doesn't make a difference to her ultra liberal environmental nonsense. I wish her the best, physically. But that and this is where my compassion for her ends.
Geez you people are harsh. The woman has been through hell, who gives a damn what political party she belongs to? For crying out loud if if were your mother, daughter, or sister having a chance to get out and relive some small part of their old life would you like this kind of commentary?
