a good, or a bad thing? why?
8 minutes ago
(CNN) – (CNN) - Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords announced on her website Sunday that she will resign from Congress this week to continue her recuperation from the brain injury she suffered when shot just over a year ago.
"A lot has happened over the past year. We cannot change that," Giffords says in a video on her website, speaking in a halting voice.
"Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover," she says in the video. "I have more work to do on my recovery. So to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week."

probably a good thing
she went thru hell and needs to just let it go, it's probably too much for her
probably will never be back to how she was before it happened

That sucks, but it is probably necessary.
I don't pretend to know how taxing recovering from a brain injury is, but I think I would want to devote my time and energy to it as much as possible.
With her name power, she can still do a lot of good in the community (if she is brave enough to venture out there again).
The thing I hate is that the sick **** that shot her wins.

Right or wrong, I don't know because we don't know a lot of the details of her recovery, but it's probably the appropriate thing to do.

I think if she gives her blessing to the next democratic candidate that there is a chance.
replacing vice president? yeah right! If Obama chooses a new VP it will be someone who can either bring the people together, or with grand ideas about how to fix the economy.

There aren't many situations which transcend politics, but she went through one.
Forget the country, praise whatever god you believe in that you're alive and go spend every second living your life with your family and being happy.

By the way, the fact that what I said wasn't the first thing out of everyone on this boards mouths is a testament to how retarded/soulless you demons really are.

I think she's doing what's right for her and her family. After what she went through, that's really all that's important.

It's too bad, but I can't blame her. Her recovery to date has been little short of miraculous, but I am sure she still has a long way to go. She owes it to herself and to her family to take the time she needs to heal.
