Conservative comments on Giffords's stepping down (Warning: may endanger your faith in humanity)
I've been checking out conservative comments (on both conservative sites and more neutral sites, as well as the horrible YouTube comments on Gabrielle Giffords's video announcement) and I won't actually put quotes here, but I just wanted to point out some of the common themes. Some of the actual comments themselves are sickening, but if you're interested in that, I'll let you find them on your own (like I did).
A lot of them are perfectly human, like what a brave woman, I didn't agree with her politics but I'm glad she's recovering, etc.
Then one common theme is that she should've done this a long time ago. Those comments tended to be a bit nastier.
But they get worse. Then there are people saying she should've done this a long time ago, and the reason she didn't is so she could be technically a member of Congress long enough to receive a congressional retirement package. I'm not familiar with time requirements or what kind of retirement package former congresspeople get.
Some were lamenting the loss of a Blue Dog, while others were saying good riddance to another leftist Communist lapdog for Pelosi.
And more than one said that Jared Loughner was a left-winger who tried to kill her because she was too far to the right for his taste.
Some said she was faking it the whole time.
I wouldn't be surprised if we actually hear the "she should've done it a long time ago" argument on Fox News.

(The latter, now that I think about it.)
He said he wished all democrats could get shot in the head. 
add an additional hole in it. So it might whistle more on a windy day, but other than that ... no effect.
Too much?
