Whatever dude. You're from North Carolina....not exactly the place associated with lots of brain cells. Stick to coon hunting or something, and leave Arizona politics to Arizonans.

GTHOH Dude. Speak on the things you know. This aint Carolina.
LOL...yes of course you and your imaginary friends could have forced her to resign....all two of you.

There is NOTHING you could have done to make her resign...just as there was NOTHING you could do to make her stay.

You already stated that it ''was up to us to decide'' and have been shown to be wrong...

Try this again...what a Representative does while holding office DOES indeed affect everyone in the nation....

As illustrated by your Rep. raising the debt ceiling,something that impacts everyone.

By the way,47% of Americans polled opposed raising the debt ceiling.

Having just returned from a week stay in Sierra Vista, you may want to avoid the braincell issue.

Shown to be wrong by whom exactly? YOU?

Dude, go play with Barney Fife or something. I made my point, you made yours.

Now run along.

i will take issue with this statement. even though i voted against giffords in every election, she was still my representative, and she was no where near third rate. she is a fine lady, and was, overall, a very good representative in congress.

i hope for the best for her.

Americans Oppose Raising Debt Ceiling, 47% to 19%
What percentage of the citizens in District 8 opposed it?

Members of congress are up for re-election every two years. If her district thought she wasn't doing her job, they could elect someone else, had she chosen to remain in office.

This reminds me of Ted Kennedy who refused to resign even though he had terminal brain cancer ... he was a US Senator until death. Absurd. How can one properly serve their constituents in such situations? THEY CAN'T!

When and if she recovers sufficiently to perform the duties of a Congressional representative she can run for office again.
You're wrong. The video she released telling of her resignation shows her speaking in complete sentences. And doing it quite well I might add.
