A Brave Man Speaking Out

From The Azcentral.com: He went to the town-hall meeting outside the grocery store to yell at his congresswoman, angry that she kept voting for liberal causes, including the health-care reform bill -- "Obamacare," as he calls it.
George Morris didn't get the chance as a gunman went on a rampage that killed his wife, Dorothy, and wounded him in the legs and back.
If he could meet Rep. Gabrielle Giffords now, he'd still vent his frustration at the representative, who suffered brain damage from the Jan. 8 shootings. He also has some choice words for her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly.

"Every time I see them on TV," he said of the couple, who were featured in a prime-time network special in November, "it makes me want to vomit."
Morris, 77, a self-described "ultraconservative," refused an invitation to have President Barack Obama visit him in his hospital room in the days following the shootings.
"I will not kowtow to anyone," he said. "People would not believe that I would refuse the president."
Morris volunteered for the campaign of Giffords' opponent in the 2010 election, a Republican who ran as a "tea party" member. He still thinks Giffords should not be in office. "I think she ought to be thrown out of Congress posthaste," he said. "I do not think she is worthy of serving."
Morris blames Kelly for the death of his wife and the others killed and injured because Kelly didn't take precautions to protect his wife, despite knowing Giffords faced death threats.
"I'd like to debate our dear captain astronaut (and ask) why he didn't have security," Morris said. "My wife would still be alive."
Morris, a retired Marine and airline pilot, also criticized Kelly's decision to fly a shuttle mission while Giffords recovered in a Houston hospital.
He also doesn't appreciate what he sees as the media's deification of the congresswoman. "I think they are both worthless," Morris said. Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2012/01/07/20120107giffords-victims-morris.html#ixzz1j7knmgg7
I'm sorry, but the media is fawning over Gabby Giffords and they forget about the other victims of the Tuscon shooting- the people who died and the other people who were shot and injured.
Giffords is out now, showing off to the media how much she has recovered, which is a lot, but she is taking all of the spot light and not giving the victims their due.
Then there is talk that Giffords is thinking about running for the House in 2012. Why? She has not represented her district since the shooting, just making a token visit to vote on raising the country's debt. Really? Of all the votes in Congress and she comes back for that one?
It is nice that her staff are running her office in her absence, but no one is voting for the people in her district, no one is representing them in Congress.
And about her recovery? She has her husband talk for her, which means she still has a long way to go, both verbally and probably mentally as well.
I have no problem if she still receives her salary and health benefits while she recovers from her injuries, she deserves that. But let's cut to the chase- she is not serving her constituents by not voting on their behalf. And if she runs again for Congress, what guarantee will the people of her district have that she will actually be a Congresswoman for them?
Yeah, I know Mr. Morris and myself will be considered to be heartless. But that does not diminish the facts of the case where Giffords and her husband are being glorified in the media at the expense of the other victims of the Tuscon shooting and the fact that she is not representing her district in Congress now and if she runs again in 2012. So, come on with the comments that I am a heartless bastard, but you cannot argue the facts.
