Gabrielle Giffords stepping down from Congress

[YT="announcement"]Nguu0TkCTd4[/YT]

nice video. I hope she continues her recovery.

Sad that she's leaving, but it's clear she's recovered a lot.

Wow. Look how far she's come, and how much ground she's covered! That is awesome! Hell, I can't help but tear up a little. The kind of effort she has made to recover is enormous. I wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.

God bless and keep fighting to get better.

Wow. I wish her the best.

I think I love that woman!

Let me guess....she has a headache.

NIce that she realize she could not do her duties as a Congressperson I know the Dems were expecting the voters to give her the seat back at election time just because of the shooting...

Now it'll be interesting if they try to claim the seat belongs to her and so a Dem needs to be giving it like that did in Mass on the fight for the seat in the senate after Teddy Kennedy died and called it the Kennedy seat meaning only a Dem should have it.

Always the little ray of sunshine, aren't you? Can't just be happy for another human being, who's recovered from a horrible injury and has never done you any harm.

It was the fact that she recovered, y'see. The severity of the injury caused her to not only recover from having been shot, but also to recover from having been a Democrat.

You're a dick.

Are you sure you want to go there? Really?
Follow your comment all the way through and consider it.

Skin thought the implication was clear -- being a Democrat is a symptom of brain damage. And the fact that you failed to divine that implication is supporting evidence, just so you know.

No, no. See, you didn't say being a Democrat was due to brain damage. You said "The severity of the injury caused her to not only recover from having been shot, but also to recover from having been a Democrat."

In essence, with her brain whole and functioning, she was a Democrat. This is established in your opening statement. Once she was shot, she was no longer a Democrat because her brain wasn't functioning like a healthy brain should. Now, follow that thought all the way through... come on... you can do it... baby steps...

The thing is, in a thread where people were actually being decent human beings, you decided to be a needle dick and your ill thought-out joke has backfired. So I have to ask, in what part of the foot did they shoot you?

She needs another year in congress like she needs a hole in the ...., I mean its best that she stepped down.

F-
See me after class to discuss sentence structure, punctuation, and being an idiot.

No, Skin was saying that being a Democrat was a symptom of pre-existing brain damage. When she was shot, the pre-existing brain damage was compounded. When her brain rewrote neural pathways around the brain damage caused by being shot, it also resulted in her brain rewriting around the brain damage that caused her to be a Democrat.

Humor... it is a complicated concept. For you, anyway.

No, Skin's an asshole. Get your terminology straight, woman.

Sorry I had to bring some truth to the issue...but the Dems began exploiting the shooting within minutes of it happening by trying to blame Sara Palin and the Tea Party(I hope Gargamet was as outrage by that as she was by my remarks).and it's no secret that had she ran for reelection that the shooting would be used as an reason to vote for her and now that she isn't running the Dems will still try to use the shooting for their advantage.

Franky nothing I said is a slam against Gifford but about the Dems and how they used her injury for political gain.

And for those of you who get so worked up about how I write and spell...that's your problem and I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Who's getting worked up? We're just pointing out that being an illiterate moron doesn't help your arguments any.

It is amazing that she still can step down.

Her strength has been inspiring - independant of her views.

And that's why you had the class to keep it out of this thread, didn't you?

Well, at least you've finally managed to figure out what the Shift key does. I suppose that's something.

Now, here's a mental exercise for you. See if you can tell the difference between this post from someone on your side:

...and the tripe you posted. We'll wait.

That depends on what his argument actually is; that is to say, whether what he's actually indicating is what is superficially obvious, or whether he's being satirical.

When one makes Apostle seem both classy and clever, he has failed.

Perhaps even independent of her views. But who's paying attention to that detail, really?

Fun fact: The guy who shot her is so crazy he believes he's killed her, and refuses to acknowledge that she might be alive.

I'm surprised he is even capable of understanding that he shot someone. I've read about nutters, and this guy seems to take the cake.

Actually, since you're the one trying to communicate your thoughts on a public forum, it's your problem.

Looney fucker probably thinks he is a cake.

In cases like this they should allow the victim (in this case, Giffords) to visit the scumbag in prison. He would be strapped to a chair in a small room with electrodes attached to his testicles. She would sit in a comfortable chair across from him and get to confront him about what he did to her.

If he was unrepentant, she would get to zap his nuts with 30,000 volts to her heart's content.
