Gabriel Giffords jumps from plane on anniversary

JD Barleycorn's Avatar
To celebrate not being killed by a left wing mental patient Gabriel Giffords jumped out of a plane strapped to another skydiver. This remarkable exhibition of gravity is being praised by the press as heroic.

Now I don't want to rain on Giffords survival but I have to make the following observation; why did a conservative Giffords become so liberal after having a bullet go through her brain? For that matter why did Ronald Reagan's press secretary James Brady also go liberal after a bullet went through his brain?

Correlation-yes, Causation-maybe

Nope, you have to parade her hard work to make a stupid lib/con comment.

Pretty pitiful.

Yes, sometimes logic sounds heartless but that still doesn't answer the question, does it? You know these same questions were asked about James Brady but since he was not a woman, or a democrat, and is wheelchair bound no one cares.

maybe facing her fears ... after you've been shot in the head, how bad is a jump compared ?

poor JD, he equates everything to liberal. Must really suck living in that small of a world.

Easy points for the good guys in this case. Maybe now after getting shot she will turn her life over to Jesus and it will work out for the best.
