Using Tragedy for Political Gain

It is downright amazing how liberal Democrats use a tragedy for political gain. Stressing that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is a Blue Dog Democrat representing a conservative district in Arizona, she is loved by both Democrats and Republicans alike. She could not possibly have been elected in this district if she embraced the socialist liberal political ideology of the average member of the Modern Democrat Party. Giffords voted against Nancy Pelosi to be minority leader in the House of Representatives, and she gladly joined Republicans in reading the Constitution on the floor of the House of Representatives.

On Saturday January 8, a young man, Jared Loughner, mentally deranged individual goes on a shooting rampage — killing innocent people and almost assassinating Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. She had been his target since 2007. Of course, the mainstream media blames the tea party, FOX news, and talk radio.

Sadly, the memorial service at the University of Arizona on Wednesday January 12 was constantly interrupted by applause and cheering from people in the audience in response to President Obama’s speech. (This isn’t a pep rally after all!) This is a downright disgrace at a time of mourning in our country. Arizona Republican US Senators John McCain and John Kyl were in the audience, frankly, so ill-looking, they seemed as if they were about to vomit, and are probably (or should be) completely embarrassed for the citizens they represent in Arizona.

Now THAT thought just brought up a mouthful of bile.

Thats one hideous-looking piece of nastiness.
