There is a bit of a timing problem that is really getting on my nerves, but doesn’t seem to be discussed. That is:
Whatever anyone thinks of Giffords (I personally like her for a number of of reasons, regardless of some of her positions), there is no political reason to even care about her, much less try to kill her, at this time, as SHE IS (essentially) POWERLESS in the House, given the Republican 50 vote majority. A year ago...yes, even a month ago, she held some swing power. But even Tea Party nutcases (assuming there are any) have much bigger fish to fry (i.e, worrying about RINOs), now that the Dems have been swept out of the House. I doubt any conservative, anywhere in this country, is wasting more than 1 minute a week getting riled up about what the Democrats in the House think. THEY ARE HISTORY as a political force - at least for the next 2 years.
Right. My theory was that this was someone who had a personal beef with her. As it turns out, the shooter looks like a schizophrenic, or drug-addled, liberal, college-student loner.
BUMP!
