The postponement of House business is out of respect for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her family.
Conservatives are decent people. What happened today knows no party affiliation or political boundaries. But I don’t expect the Left to be civilized for once.
This is for the country, not for the Democratic Party. Its not for them.
You don’t play decent with communists engaged in a psychological war against the Republican party and the capitalist system.
Now the marxists can lie all week without even having to take time out to vote.
Wonder what “steps” Cantor is talking about, creating a new federal protective service to taser any constituent who looks cross eyed at one of their betters in Congress?
Funny I dont remember the military memebers getting a week off from their duties, after the muslim killed the military members in Fort Hood Texas, Obama could not even comment on it right away, as he was busy giving a speech at an Indian event giving” shout outs” to some chief, and telling ever one not to jump to conclusions...
I do hope Gabrielle recovers, and pray for the families of the deceased...
This hiatus for next week is not just a showing of respect for the fallen congresswoman, it is out of pure fear. 82 new members were just seated and now they see one of their own nearly assassinated. Don’t you think that puts the fear of hell in their veins? The SS and the FBI are having to put in extra shifts for their protection. This takes time. Speaker Boehner is doing the right thing. If one more congressman takes a hit it will be on his shoulders for not being prudent. Don’t think the ‘Rats would be him over the head with it, you know it.
Understandable, but illogical. If Giffords wasn't shot would they still postpone the nation's business? Why not postpone it each time one of our soldiers gets killed? Or just a regular Joe who dies of old age?
The first thing they should do when they return is investigate the media disinformation campaign. This is dangerous. A hearing on truth in the media is called for.
