It seems like whenever the Dems lose an incumbent (Wellstone, Kennedy, Feingold), they are replace with a Republican tool.

I just logged on to DU for the first time in a very long time to 'rec' this video.

My thoughts and best wishes to Giffords, her husband, and the families of the Tucson shooting victims.

Good Luck Gabby. I am so proud of you. So happy you're alive!
So sorry you can't continue and need more time but very understandable.
Take care and keep in touch.
Hugs!

Not often I find myself smiling and tearing up at the same time.

All the best, Gabby.

This woman can bring sanity back to America

She also deserves a life of her own.

We deserve 535 or more people like her in our Congress, brave, honest, and people we can know we support because they are like the 310 or so million others of us, there but for fortune, as we serve our fellow humankind as best we can. This woman should be front and center at the State of the Union, or just always in our minds as we think of those that serve us, agree with them always or not, they are who we hire to serve us, let us respect all of them like we should always wish she could continue to serve us forever.

What an American hero, among so many.

Within a half inch of instant death, serving our people in the best way she could. How may of the DU posters can say that? We may NOT have agreed with her on every issue where she positioned herself. Yet she is one of America's tragic hero's.

Why haven't the christian republicans that claim god punishes cities for promiscuity, acknowledge that by their own standards Gabriel Giffords is truly loved by the same god? Their god has never saved a republican politician who had been shot in the head.

Every video on youtube that shows a public servant talking into the camera is not a "political ad."

An announcement does not have emotional music or gorgeous scenery. It is either for the party, or for her future run, or ... That is my simple question.
