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

by BoyBlue

Thu Jan 06, 2011 at 11:07:17 AM PST

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.

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.

The bigger question is if it’s not Loughner then why did Kos scrub it?

I don’t think he is because Blue Boy is more coherent than Jared. Blue Boy didn’t mention “currency.”

Many of us doubt that the poster BlueBoy is the shooter....

The point was that Kos was trying to use the tragedy for their own political purposes ....blaming on Palin and the Tea Party...in time honored fashion of the leftists.

The first act out of the House will be a security guard for each Congressman. Bet on it.

Loughner actually reminds me of Giuseppe Zangara, the man who attempted to assassinate President-elect Franklin Roosevelt in Miami, Florida on February 15, 1933.

Zangara opened fire, hitting five people, including Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, who died of his wounds on March 6. During his trial, Zangara stated "I have the gun in my hand. I kill kings and presidents first and next all capitalists." He was convicted on March 10, sent to the death cell, and executed by "Old Smokey" on March 20.

Another excellent catch, and likely candidate for the memory hole.

“The left are the KINGS of hate speech and violent rhetoric, and this is a good time to point it out while they’re pointing the finger at us.”

Bumping my favorite word warrior. ;o)

It would have been very helpful if the LSM (yes...I’m looking at you, Shep) didn’t blame this on Sarah and the TEA Party before they even knew the identity of the shooter...just as they always do.

Epic fail...once again.

It must suck to be them.

Thanks for posting this and God Bless FreeRepublic. It it weren’t for FreeRepublic and a few others the truth would never come out. My prayers go out to those that were killed and injured and their families.

I learned something that I did not know because I do not associate with evil people. It appears that when one man puts his penis into another mans mouth or backside... it not only destroys all reasoning... but destroys their brains and their soul. Soulless evil creatures of satan. Pray for them... for their future lies in the depths of the Lake of Fire. I wonder if the leftist commie assassin was a poofter? He was everything else according to his own words.
