She was the target of an assassination attempt while performing her official duties. I don’t begrudge her being given a pension any more than I do a veteran who is wounded in the line of duty.

Shame on you

Why don't you review how these two examples are different before you vent your spleen on me. There are mechanisms in place to take care of those injured in the line of duty. She went beyond that to ensure she got an undeserved pension too.

Shame on you for being so willing to fall for the elite talking points.

A soldier injured in battle will not be allowed to gauge his own usefulness to the organization, nor will it be his choice in the circumstances or timing of his release from duty.

Line of duty?

Her DUTY was advancing the cause of the Democrat Party.

I was one of the thousands of constituents who had to protest repeatedly outside her office just to get her to agree to hold town hall meetings. When she finally did, she make it abundantly clear that Pelosi’s opinion mattered to her, and ours did not.

On the stimulus bill, she voted against it - per her constituents will. HOWEVER, she stood within an arm’s reach of Pelosi as the vote continued, ready to switch her vote to YES if needed.

Maybe you consider LYING to advance SOCIALISM and Big Government honorable service. I do not.

She was a lying, dishonest ass who did her best to advance the cause of asses everywhere. For the last year, she hasn’t represented ANYONE in Congress...but she stayed in to collect her pension. Because, after all, she provided 5 years of “service”!!!!!!

Shame on YOU!
