From the article: Both her husband and her doctors remain very optimistic. Her neurosurgeon told the press that he feels, overall, that Giffords is doing very well. They also indicated they are very pleased with her progress. They would not go so far as to predict how much of her motor and speech skills Giffords may recover.
How is someone who can't vote either for OR against policies that effect you as a constituant Good for you?dante said:
Motor skills, not cognitive function. I'm assuming you'd claim Stephen Hawking would be unfit due to a lack of motor/speech skills?
You really can't figure that one out? Seriously? She represents one of the few heavily Democratic districts, and her replacement would be picked by a heavily conservative Republican governor. Oh, that sounds like it would work out REALLY well...
point goes to Dante...
Point goes to toshi.
It's amazing how long conservatives will force constituents to be underrepresented when it means that they're blocking a liberal from going to DC...
With two parties and the current voting system nothing would change.
Man, you really are a piece of ****.
In her current condition she could do a better job then anyone Jan Brewer would appoint to replace her.
And they call *you* e-douche of the year....
Curtains aren't quite matching the carpet there el-Stinko but nice try.
if only...
Actually, I read that the Tea Party candidate in her district (who lost, clearly) put forth an inquiry within the week regarding an election. Tactless assholes.
Michelle Bachman. Your argument is invalid.
I would like to thank Arizona for making Florida look relatively sane.
You're welcome
How about asking her constituents, you know, the people who elected her? Right now I'm in a similar congressional district; a VERY liberal Congresswoman, and a right-wing nutjob conservative governor. If anything happened to her, I would take a cardboard cutout propped up in her chair in the house over anyone that he would hand pick to replace her.
yo dawg, i heard you wanted a troll in your troll
nj right? if so, you can h8 all you want, but the fat man has been tuning up the teachers union.dante said:
WI. Walker just turned down $810m in federal money for expanding a rail line between Madison and Milwaukee which would have employed ~5,000 people for the next 3 years. He's made it far harder for the state to defend itself against regulatory lawsuits, has killed 19 (privately-funded) windfarm projects, is ramming through a voter-id program (even though there's been zero voter fraud recorded), and recently cost his county (Milwaukee, where he'd been Co executive) over a million dollars after he lost a lawsuit over inappropriately laying off security workers. He claimed there was a fiscal emergency and overruled the legislature by laying off all of the security detail and contracting it out to a private firm. They sued, and won, and now they get all of the backpay for the past year. In an effort to save ~$50k, he cost the (broke) county over $1m.
you're looking at it all wrong: take a gander at what he's done for the tort industry
Yeah, I can't imagine how much this bill is going to cost us... $2m for implementation, plus god knows how much in litigation costs as it winds it's way through the courts. It's basically an attempt at disenfranchising thousands of students from other states, since you can't even use a federally-issued piece of ID (passport), let alone another state's driver's license.
