My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!

I am from the Tucson area and live in Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords' district. I worked like a dog for her elections when she was in the Arizona House, surrounded by rightwing nutcases. When Arizona re-districted in 2002, a seat opened up and she was right smack in the middle of it. So was I because I live in Oro Valley, Arizona, which is at the heart of that - then - new CD. I was one of several people to talk her into running and pledging complete loyalty and pledging to raise as much money as possible for her.
She ended up running for the first time against a fellow AZ House member, Randy Graf who was a rightwing whacko who advocated guns in bars and was the "Russell Pearce before Russell Pearce" vis-a-vis border issues. With a LOT of hard work and plenty of money, Gabby won. Easier than thought, too. I never like to throw money in people's faces, but i have given Gabrielle Giffords THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars in both good times and bad times for me financially.
* BoyBlue's diary :: :: *
Fast forward to this election season. A weirdo asshole named Jesse Kelly who advocated ELIMINATING Social Security and was a tea bagger favorite got the GOP nom to run against her. I am gay and had been married and my spouse left me January 15, 2010. I shot myself in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt, because of that. Barely surviving, I spent two months in the hospital and still have some paralysis. I did receive a severance from my employer, as i had been laid off in December, 2009. That may have been part of the reason my spouse left me.
Anyway, after months of physical and mental rehab, I got back into the political scene and started working for Gabby once again. I raised over $100,000 for her and maxed her out myself out of my severance, even though i still don't have work and could not qualify for state aid because of my severance.
She wins her re-election and told me she was still a supporter of Speaker Pelosi at her victory party. We talked about how Nancy Pelosi was a successful woman and accomplished oh so much in just four years as Speaker.
Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports (out of the one eye in can still see out of) that Giffords voted AGAINST Nancy Pelosi as our Minority Leader. Rhetorical question: I fought back from my condition and jumped in with both feet to help Gabrielle Giffords for THIS shit???
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now. I won't lift a finger, make one phone call, nor will i EVER vote for her in the future. And why did she do this? Giffords never told me she was conservative Democrat. And her voting record is okay. Damn.

Not a single issue voter, but if I was, gay rights would be it. I just want Democrats to be tough. And I wish Obama were tougher. That's all. I'm a proud gay!

she did this or whom she voted for. It could have been Elvis or Jesus Christ...it accomplishes NOTHING but plays into the MEDIA NARRATIVE of Democrats against Pelosi. Just watch.

If you are satisfied with the way she votes; why not vote for her again?

Call their office and let them know... handwrite this diary on stationary, sign, and hand deliver it to her field office. Those kind of letters get attention.
DARTH SPECTER: I am altering the deal! Pray I don't alter it any further! LANDO REID: This deal keeps getting worse all the time!
Now that he is a confirmed leftist lunatic (is there any other kind?), the left wing America haters will be apologizing any time. Yea, any time. (do I really need a /sarc tag?)
This guy’s rantings sound different than the shooter’s.
You people in AZ, forward this information to Rep. Grijalva (D-AZ) who insinuated on CNN that this shooting was due to all the “heated rhetoric” and “divisiveness” of politics today, in other words, Republicans and TEA Party members.
It sounds like this nut was a Democrat who hated the congresswoman’s conservative stance on several issues. From his crazy writings, he was anti-God and anti-American and we shouldn’t let the press and the Democrats hide these facts.
Thank you for your research and post.
He’s a leftist for sure. His favorite books are Mian Kampf and The Communist Manifesto.
I don’t see anything in this that definitively ties this guy to the shooter.
Hi all,
you don’t know that these two people are the same. Don’t be like some on the other side who are jumping to conclusions.
Wait for the facts,
I highly doubt this is him. What would a then 14 year old boy be doing talking to a state lawmaker into running for federal office?(The date says 2002 is when he supposedly was one of the persons convincing her to run later in the new CD). He is 22. Critical thinking people.
Am I reading his own words correctly,,, that he says that he is gay, and was married but now divorced?
Wonder if the media will report that....
I think another post somewhere stated that he was an athiest. No surprise there...
“He’s a leftist for sure. His favorite books are Mian Kampf and The Communist Manifesto.”
Well, We the Living also was on his list of favorites. I think the guy couldn’t think very clearly. But I concur that the preponderance of evidence is that his beef with his Congresswomen was that she was not left-wing enough etc.
This should be easy enough to check out....
So who is the nut case now?
bump
CONTACT LINDA LOPEZ AND THE REST OF THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA. THE TEA PARTY WOULD NOT ENDORSE MURDER. THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.
Chicagopride.com is saying the following:
“Giffords is pro-choice, supports embryonic stem cell research and gay marriage.”
Others are saying she is centrist to conservative, but Conservative.org only gives her conservative rating of 20 out of 100. So Chicagopride is probably closer to the truth.
That would be a waste of time.
Grijalva is a communist and head of the communist "Congressional Progressive Caucus"
This red son of a bitch knows damn well that Loughner is a leftist psycho, but is engaged in Psychological warfare against the right.
He is the enemy within
Psychological warfare(PSYWAR), or the basic aspects of modern psychological operations (PSYOP), have been known by many other names or terms, including Psy Ops, Political Warfare, “Hearts and Minds,” and Propaganda.[1] Various techniques are used, by any set of groups, and aimed to influence a target audience's value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, or behavior. It is used to induce confessions or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives, and are sometimes combined with black operations or false flag tactics. Target audiences can be governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.
The U.S. Department of Defense defines psychological warfare as:
"The planned use of propaganda and other psychological actions having the primary purpose of influencing the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of hostile foreign groups in such a way as to support the achievement of national objectives."[2]
This guy writes a LOT better than that Jared “Master of Grammar” nut-case.
