WASHINGTON -- Brady Campaign Acting President Dennis Henigan today issued the following statement in response to U. S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ announcement that she would resign her seat in Congress this week.
"We understand but are deeply saddened by the news that Rep. Giffords has decided to resign her seat in Congress because of the demands of her continued rehabilitation from the gunshot wound she suffered a year ago in Tucson. Congress and the American people now have lost the service of another devoted public servant because of gun violence. It is sadly reminiscent of the nation's loss of Jim Brady as Presidential press secretary due to a similar gunshot injury 30 years ago. We hope Rep. Giffords' departure is only temporary and wish her well on her amazing and inspiring recovery." Share This Story
I never did pick up with IDPA. Just did one rookie intro day. Too much time and money...other priorities...
Yeah, their prop is gone.
“...The shooter was NOT a “right winger”. ..”
You’re absolutely spot-on correct, he wasn’t, and you can bet your last dollar that it burns their britches whenever its brought up. Takes the air out of one of their arguments (not that facts ever stand in the way of a good tragic crisis for these idiots).
Jarad Loughner is one of THEIR star protege poster children on the Left - a perfect example of someone who swallowed the lefty propaganda whole and acted on it.
Michael Savage is right - Liberalism IS a mental disease.
The political season is kicking into high gear for 2012, and she knows she can’t run for reelection in the condition she’s in. So the Dems need to put up another candidate, and they need to get a replacement for her as soon as possible to run for her seat.
That’s not a boat!
I would think you of all people would know that!
Oops! Never mind.
I see the boat now, beached on the left wing.
I’ll never understand how her husband could go on his space mission while she was in the hospital. That seemed very selfish to me. If my wife is almost killed and laying in a hospital bed, I wouldn’t leave town, much less the planet.
I wish!
She would make more money working for Brady than she would as a congressperson?
Rumor has it that it will be her husband Mark Kelly.
CongressCritters become vested for a pension after five years I believe was his point.
Guys, guys, listen...
They don’t need to take away our rights via federal restrictions anymore. Technology is moving beyond the need for this.

The new battleground is technology. They will soon be able to see everything everywhere...from the sky! They will soon have control of all elements of the economy from bank accounts to credit cards to loans to every conceivable transaction. SOPA/PIPA is as big a deal or bigger than any gun law ever considered by any tyrant anywhere. A high cap mag is not going to be enough to keep your freedom. Not even close.
Yes. I agreed with him.
Wow. That’s hot.
Good looking blonde standing on the shallow wreck of a cargo plane, shielding the glare from her eyes as she follows your row boat making its way out to get her.
You’re a lucky guy.

Here are some more pics from our time in the Bahamas a few decades ago. I’m a very lucky guy, still. (Let me know if FB will not let you see that Norman’s Cay album.)
Wow, I never knew that about Kelly...I always knew him to be a professional...Not a politician...
I do not believe he has the same political views as his wife on most issues...I remember him to be rather indifferent to politics, as most of his adult life had been devoted to the service of this country and to its Space Program...He didn’t have time for all that namby pamby BS...
Who knows, he may look into it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, anything announced contrary to that would probably be more to someone elses wet dream...Not his...
His wife was shot by a “libtard”...Why would he add any continuity to that imbesile’s effort???
I think they’d rather go off into the sunset and not be in the spotlight for a while...Much less be useful idiots for a “libtard” agenda...
But, who knows???
Well, you know what they say...Any landing you can walk, or swim, away from is a good one...;-)
