I don’t know of human being you are but someone is between life and death and all you can think about is politics.

I’m just disgusted. If it happened to you and your family worried about you making it, I think you would want the respect of your colleagues and friends.

Not everything in life is about politics. There is plenty of time for that later.

[Rome2000]

You are deluded if you think there wont be any "politics" going on next week.

There will be plenty, and most of it will be a full frontal psyop by the marxist members of the "Progressive Congressional Caucus" against the GOP to portray them and their constituency as homicidal maniacs.

No reason to let them operate unfettered and giving them a week off to concentrate exclusively on this operation.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

My heart breaks for everyone affected by this senseless act but, Congress should not shut down for a week because of this.

The People’s House is stronger than the actions of a lunatic, be it a homegrown nut or islamic terrorists flying planes into buildings. WE are stronger than the actions of a lunatic, be it a homegrown nut or islamic terrorists flying planes into buildings

I think it looks political to close congress for a week.

I don’t know of a major business that would close it doors for a week because one of it’s employees got shot.

If the troop or commander is killed in battle..does the unit..stop fighting..does it send a message..asking for a truce lasting 7 days..

If Congress takes a recess resulting from the tragic event today it is a sign of weakness.

“If it happened to you and your family worried about you making it, I think you would want the respect of your colleagues and friends.”

I can’t think of a single business of reasonable size that would “shut down” for a WEEK because an employee was killed, much less injured, by a murderer.

I wouldn’t expect it to, either.

“Respect” doesn’t mean you have to shut down your own life and work.

I’m sure there are plenty direct examples from the past for this sort of thing, as well.

People die every day; certainly they can acknowledge what happened without slamming the brakes on the People’s business.

Not everything in life is about politics

Yeah, like Wellstone's funeral

You're deluded if you think that the left won't bring politics into this. They're ALL about politics.

This is a bunch of drama queens at work.

Hate to think how much this useless gesture is going to cost taxpayers, from the party who's supposed to be on a crusade to save taxpayer money.
