What's new

Congresswoman shot.

I was thinking perhaps it was going to devolve into a discussion of whether Congresswoman Giffords suffered a right-brain or a left-brain injury...


at any rate, it's heartening to hear she's making such remarkable progress, it would be wonderful if she continues on a smooth path to recovery
my prayers for all the victims

A lot of conservatives in her area appreciate her for listening to their concerns. As I understand it, she was pretty independent of the DNC central command. She offended the shooter on a prior occasion when he asked her a question in some situation much like the open meeting on the street by responding in a dismissive manner. What else can you do with a nutcase??? I am also putting her in my prayers because she is everything that has made us great as a nation. A politician with her own functioning mind and a sense of responsibility to her constituents.

Clearly, there is a prospect that she has suffered some irretrivable impairments, but the human brain can sometimes make up for losses like that in ways that just amaze us. We hope for the best.

Very good post. Especially agree with bold above. Sadly this is also what is causing the decline of our political structure, not enough thinking politicians. Party lines have really never been sharper or more hotly contested, or blindly followed. We really need more politicians to think about things, make actual real choices powered by their constituency not just their special interests, and put aside their pride and party devotion to make the best decisions for the country. Not just the decisions that will hopefully keep their party in control.
