Sanchez is a realist.
Giffords will not return for many months, if ever.
I think Congresswoman Sanchez has a good shot at getting a seat on Obama’s Death Panels if she wants it.
Sanchez is election-stealing scum. I’m not surprised.
Agreed. If the parties were reversed, I'm sure most here would want the seat filled by somebody in a position to vote.
We have a committee that was formed, and chaired by a Congresswoman who is physically incapable of fulfilling the role for which she was appointed.
So - shouldn't a conscientious person say “I cannot fulfill the duties for the job for which I was elected, I nominate my Husband to fulfill the term of office for which I was elected”? Historically, more than a few women have completed the term of office when their husbands were unable to complete their term.
Or, do we all wring out hands and let the committee sit in limbo indefinitely?
“Sanchez is election-stealing scum” she was “assisted” in her theft by....NEWTIE! RINO SCUM!
No one knows how long it will take. It could be mere ly a few weeks or never.Generally normal people wait for a prognosis to find out.She isn’t a realist she’s a cuthroat.All you have to do is look at some of her previous stunts campaigning to see that.This one is going to backfire on her bigtime - bet on it.
I guess she and the Democrats feel they have gotten all the mileage they can get out of this tragedy. Shows you how Democrat Politicians think. They lied about the person shooting her and now this. How can a honest person vote for a Democrat?
Just what I was thinking.
Sooner or later the Gov of AZ is going to have to bring up the subject of a special election. The people of AZ deserve that vote in Congress.
The area of her brain affected may involve problems with vision, physical coordination, creative thought and speech.
I wish her the best but she has a long uphill battle in her return to normalcy.
That being said, I am sure glad it was that idiot sanchez that brought it up.
Remember “Gabrielle(sp?)” has a 100% score from NARAL on Abortion(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabrielle_Giffords). So I don’t feel very sorry for her.
Well so much for leaving an empty seat for their Colleague. Hypocrits. Politics over eveything.
They’re afraid that a Dem wouldn’t be elected if they had a special election. The whole point of keeping somebody who is no longer competent in a position is to hold the position for the party, not for the individual in question.
I’m no Sanchez fan but I don’t see the issue here. When the starting quarterback goes down you put in the back up. You don’t say, “we’re going to go without a quarterback until we know how long before the starter can come back because to do otherwise would be insensitive”. That committe seat will be waiting for her if and when she gets back. So what’s the big deal about suggesting that someone else fill in until she gets back? That’s what any other entity would do in that situation - what makes congress different?
By my count, there are 62 members of this committee, so I don’t think they’ll miss her....
But, the people of her district are going to be without a representative in all things congress does. Her term is two years long. How long will the recovery take? Probably a good chunk of that term.
This probably needed to be brought up...probably by the people of Arizona, though.
We give the seat and the assinfment to Robert Kenneth Patrick Dornan
(AKA B1Bob)
the guy you stole your house seat from
Do we have a deal?
