This is a sad day for Tucson, Representative Giffords has survived surgery, who knows what kind of recovery she can make?
The shooter seems to be a wacko with no particular political motive other than being a damn nut job who thought the Gov't is brainwashing people through grammar and other crazy things.
Giffords isn't in my district and not someone I would vote for, but she is a likable, attractive lady known for spending a lot of time talking with the folks and some psycho bastage took advantage of her accessibility.
Many families were destroyed today.
The whole thing just sucks.
