P3-collateral damage with Obamadrama sprinkled for his re-election campaign

Gabrielle Giffords, I am sorry to see you step down but I applaude your courage to do what you feel will best aid your recovery and hope that having more time to focus on it will speed up the process. Mam, I did not always agree with you on political decisions but I agree with your right to make them. I am glad that the criminal who shot you and others including Judge Roll, was apprehended. Guns don't kill people, people do. That is why gun laws don't work. Only our honest citizens abide by them. The crimimals live their lives breaking laws. Gun restrictions don't bother them as they will steal guns or buy them from other criminals. We need an armed society to be able to protect ourselves, our family and each other. Statistics show that where honest Citizens are armed, the crime rate drops. May your days be filled with happiness and may you quickly and totally recover from your ordeal. God bless you.

P3,  It is well documented that the demented shooter had been stalking her for quite some time and the County Sheriff was derelict in doing his job in the face of complaints files by Gifford's office.  Judge Roll was just a very unfortunate victim in the whole sorry saga.

Allen West was right when he called Wasserman Schultz a vile evil woman.   She's that, all right, and then some.   EC Dawson makes a point that almost no one in the media is talking about.   The judge.   Makes me wonder long and hard if he was the target and GG got caught in the crossfire or was the  left's collateral damage.  As crazy as people have gotten today, not out of the realm of possibilities.  Just sayin'.

I think we have forgotten that Judge Roll was killed in the Arizona shooting. He was at the center of Arizona's immigration fight and he had received death threats. While it is very unfortunate that Gabrielle Gifford's was shot something else is over looked here. Rep Debra Wasserman Schultz blamed the Tea Party for Rep Gifford's shooting. I can't help but wonder if the democratic party will later use Gabrielle Gifford as the poster child for gun confiscation. I wish Gabrielle Gifford's all the best in her progress toward recovery.

Agree Ron.  I am sure this was a hard decision for her but she realized she must take care of herself and she can't do that properly and do this job as well and the people deserve good representation.  I don't certainly agree with her politics, but I applaud this hard decision and hope her recovery will move along at a little faster pace now that she can focus on it!

May God bless her in her recovery.  How wonderful it is to see someone who makes a tough decision for the betterment of her state instead of for politics alone.  I used to live in her district which also houses Cochise County and Ft. Huachuca.  It is an area that is ground zero for the border crossers and they really need a tough individual like Jesse  Kelley who almost beat her in 2010.  Former Marine and Iraq Vet.

The sad thing is the way that the Democrats and especially the Obama Administration immediately leaped forward to blame this on Sarah Palin when the shooter was a leftist.  Opportunistic basturds.
