I printed it to a pdf, and still have it open on another tab. Not sure how else to show it?

A profile of Giffords’ voting record here: http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=28507

I don’t know anything about her really. Prayers up.

Per FOX (Sheppy): A child was killed there. A child.

I used to suffer from that, but after I became a monthly donor everything changed.

This thing runs so fast now that I was forced to install a couple of cooling fans to keep the entire system from bursting into flames.

Donate... but be very very carful.

Getting reports of a possible second shooter, and a federal judge having been shot also. Conflicting reports, do not have link or second source to confirm anything at this point. I’ll continue monitoring and report as can.

On FOX, Arizona State senator Linda Lopez just accused the Tea Party of fomenting hatred and anger against Gifford. Also saying that she has report of Gifford reacting to instructions from the Drs.

She also said that she has heard the shooter is an Afgan War Vet...

Shot went in Gifford’s temple and exited the other side, per Linda Lopez.

The Washington Post reporter is blaming Sarah Palin for the shooting..

“Suspect in custody, no known motive. Could be random but doesn’t sound like it given that she was holding an event with constituents. It sounds like an assassination attempt. Too early to say what this is about.

FYI, via Dailykos commenters: Giffords was one of the 20 Democrats who were elected in 2008 and voted for health care reform and were then targeted for defeat by Sarah Palin in a “takebackthe20” campaign that included a map showing each congressional district in cross-hairs — as in a gunsight. Rather incendiary. See here.”

An AZ state senator Lina Lopez is reporting from the hospital that Giffords is responsive. Pray for her and the other’s recovery and for the families of those lost.

Exactly, pattijo. Human life is precious. This act was unconscionable. I can’t even imagine what her husband is going through right now. Dear Lord, be with him. And be with the doctors, giving wisdom, skill, and if You will, divine intervention on her behalf. Be with her in soul and body and give her Your richest blessings because of Your grace and love towards her. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I agree with Boehner that an attack on one is an attack on all.

Yeah it is Senators Only that can be appointed by the Gov and Legislature of a State to fill vacancies via the 17th (I thought the 2nd part of the Amendment dealt with both Houses.)

Wow, I hope that is true.

I don’t care about her politics (although it sounds like she was more Conservative than not), this is just bad. The same is true for the others wounded — I really hope they all survive.

Yeah, and a good one, a Bush appointee.

So Obama will get to appoint a replacement.
