They didn't even wait until the body was cold. Disgusting!


Republicans Waited Only 9 Minutes after Scalia Died to make it Political


*snip*

But in the following two hours, those balls fell — on Grassley.

The conservative Twitterverse erupted with demands that the Senate refuse to confirm anybody nominated by President Obama to replace Scalia.

Then, at 6:41 p.m., not two hours after the San Antonio Express-News broke the news of Scalia’s death, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declared that “this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

The proverbial before-the-body-was-cold pronouncementsbegan nine minutes after the San Antonio paper tweeted Scalia’s death. Sean Davis of the right-wing publication the Federalist tweeted: “If Scalia has actually passed away, the Senate must refuse to confirm any justices in 2016.”

Four minutes later, Conn Carroll, a spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee member Mike Lee (R-Utah), tweeted that chances were “less than zero” of an Obama nominee succeeding.

The ugly political spectacle around Justice Scalia’s death

It's OK. They're Republicans.

Guess the names Paul Wellstone and Gabrielle Giffords don't ring a bell........does it???

And Sarah Palin still hasn't apologized to Gabby Giffords for targeting her in her ads!

Like I said, Republicans are disgusting and immoral.

Those were surveyors marks NOT cross hairs moron.

They were crosshair targets.

 

[my2¢]

If the Republicans choose to handle this as I would expect from Democrats, then I'll probably switch back to Independent after the primary.

She has nothing to apologizer for. The kook never even seen her ad. He was obsessed with Giffords.

Palin targeted Giffords, and a mentally disturbed man thought Palin was talking to him, so he shot Giffords with a gun he should never have been allowed to own.

Republicans are disgusting and immoral.

You mean kind of like liars?

The political climate in the United States and in Arizona in particular was pointed to by some observers as a possible contributing factor for the violent act. For example, Clarence Dupnik, Pima County Sheriff, initially expressed concern that overheated political rhetoric and violence may be related, observing, "When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous." He believed that Arizona had unfortunately become "the capital" of such feelings. "We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry," he said.[130][131] But, Dupnik later said that he had no evidence that the killings were a result of anything particular which Loughner may have read or heard.[132]

A political climate due to Jan Brewer's hateful rhetoric toward Democrats. Failin' Palin took advantage of that to target Giffords.

Thanks for proving my point.

 

[Synthaholic]

The motive for the shooting remains unclear;

Political correctness run amok.

 

[Synthaholic]

The wingnuts have tried mightily to deflect from the OP because they have no defense.

Republicans are immoral and dishonest.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

This only proves that Obama is superior to republicans because he made it political in three minutes.

You can't prove a negative. I don't know if he seen angels as well, but because he didn't say he did doesn't mean he did.
