Old Hippie Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Many of us already are fucked! Taking away or reducing benefits is the growing trend. Sad as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 News claim she is dead along with 6 other people. It was at a Safeway store. Don't know if that is the branch I shop at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardKing Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/us/politics/09giffords.html?partner=rss&emc=rss http://azstarnet.com/news/local/article_88b4b436-1b53-11e0-8354-001cc4c002e0.html Wow -- only a start of things to come IMHO. She's only the second Representative to ever be murdered in office - the first being Rep. Leo Ryan, who was murdered by Jim Jones cult members when investigating Jonestown. And she was not even a hardcore lefty as she loved her some 2nd Amendment; but we are talking about AZ who desperately wants to out crazy TX & OK. What an atrocity -- any politician who went on about "second amendment remedies" and "if ballots don't work, bullets will" in the past election should resign... It is gonna get ugly out there over the next few years. I am afraid that this is just the start of the body count, and that this will make the 60s look tame. And I am sure that the shooter was undoubtedlÂÂy in Arizona's well-regulÂÂated state militia... 2nd Amendment snark> And thus it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the election, Sarah Palin made up a map with Gabrielle Giffords in her target sight. Hard to say what happened. All I can say is there are too many wackos out there.

Bangkoktraveler Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 News claim Gabrielle Giffords is not dead but in surgery. Giffords was a strong supporter for ObamaCare. If she doesn't die, she still will be considered one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 What Congress should do is give the military 7 days to catch the boogey man Bin Laden and in 30 days get their butts back here and get reduced in size. Enough is enough. During the Civil War we had 1 milion soldiers. After the war we had 25,000 soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Info on the ALLEGED shooter Jared Loughner.
