Can We Drop our Agenda's And Partisan Ship For The Moment, And Observe A moment of Silence For This Truly Tragic Loss Of Life?

And a time for civility. my condolences to Christina's family and the others who have been effected by this tragedy.

its not the first and its most likely not the last but how we get through things such as this makes us stronger for them and for others! It goes to show also just how united we can really be! A true inspiration of spunk and intelligence within our youth! RIP Christina!

My heart bleeds for this family, and what a darling little girl, I pray much for her family. I do realize that as sure as we are born, we are going to die, we don't know how or when, but we all know that we have an appointed time. I also believe that this little girl must have been very special for the Lord to have summoned her at such a young age. It was also very benevolent of you to have us on SH to observe her in thought and prayer, God bless you!

May all who lost their lives rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with their families during this tragic time.

The public is wise to the stupid tempest in a teapot the Democrats have sullied the Tucson shootings with:

"Nearly six in 10 Americans say the country's heated political rhetoric is not to blame for the Tucson shooting rampage that left six dead and critically wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to a CBS News poll.

In the wake of the shooting, much focus has been put on the harsh tone of politics in Washington and around the country, particularly after a contentious midterm election. Rhetoric and imagery from both Republicans and Democrats have included gun-related metaphors, but the majority of the country isn't connecting the shooting to politics."

Most thinking people have enough decency to respect the dead, not use the dead for political gain.

And after my moment of silence it will be time to discuss Che's response.

It truly is a tragedy and shouldn't be used to hoist on one's own petard.

I have found the rush to place blame a disgusting display of inhumanity and classless. While I am more then willing to point out the facts that made up this whack job, I find those who have engaged in this finger pointing classless, ignorant idiots who place their political/social agenda above decency.

My heart goes out to all the families involved. They face a very long process.

I light a candle for those who will never be able to see another one on their birthday cake.

Already have , shed my tears for the senseless lose of life and the unspeakable act of murdering a child , will continue to do so in the days to come i believe also .

But this is were i come to give my opinion and sometimes to vent my anger , so i will leave your poll in it's moment of silence and not even wonder why you haven't already taken it .

She sounds like such a lovely girl. My best wishes to her family.
Thank you for posting this instead of some weapon against whatever party you don't care for. Thank you.

My heart goes out to those poor victims who were lost. May they rest in peace.


And I honestly hope, however futile, that people will just leave the politics out of this. Politics have no place in this tragedy.

This is a horrendous tradgedy and has zero connection to any political agenda.

Not many polls I have see actually like this man, and it's Kudos for you. To those that can't be human about it, take a lesson here and see this is what it's about. Not your politics.

i only chose this option (there were only two) to make a point: truly selfish wicked people don't care. They just don't care. They are sick and not able to act like humans.
So, no, they will be unable to to care and empathize. They have their agendas and no one matters but that. Would be nice if it were otherwise but just because people LOOK like humans does not mean they are human inside at all.

Was there a more comfortable option for you That I left out?

i think an "other" where we could just make a comment.
of COURSE i think this tragedy is horrible as have been so many other insane tragedies.
i just have looked into so many of faces of insanity and evil during my life that i recognize how serious it is that there are many people who have little to no human kindness and we can't lose touch with that. There are many people who are seriously damaged and fit into the second option you gave that would never check it and i just fear we as people could get naive' and not be prepared for them.

i am pleased you posed the question. people need to wake up and break from their selfishness..

My prayers to all who were touched by this tragedy.

I wish the families could have been spared their pain. No one deserves this. Not even a Liberal.

My thoughts are with the victims and the victims families.

Amen, J! As a mother and grandmother I cannot fathom the pain.....
Love,
Super

I couldn't either.

Not even a liberal. That line alone reveals you are the kind of person i described above. no human feelings whatsoever.

Let's not forget who it was that started the blame game. The NY Times was blaming the right and the Tea Party before the first tears had even been shed.

As a parent, as an American, as a Human being I am just heart broken over the loss of this little girl. I know that six families are greiving the loss of their loved ones and each one is tragic. But the loss of this beautiful child emphasizes just how tragic and senseless the whole thing is.

There is evil in the world and this shooter demonstrates it. How f'd up in the head do you have to be to take anothers life and then to spray the crowd indiscriminantly.

This is where our anger should be. It should be directed at this man and whatever failures led to him to be able to commit this act and it looks like there are plenty of areas of failure to examine and improve. But. It should not be at each other and trying to use this as a pawn in some twisted chess game for politcal power.

This will not be the last senseless murder that we see. But for God sake, I hope it is the last one that we use as a baton in this war of ideas.

this lil angel was the true victim of this mad man's psychopathic spree

May she rest in peace.

I honestly hope She does.

agreed ♥

My thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and everybofy affected by this horrendous act.

Hell NO, Now is the time we make sure the everyone knows why it happened and who the people are that caused it.

One man caused it! One sick, twisted individual. Not you, not me. Not Glenn Beck or Keith Olberman or Barak Obama or George Bush.

Damnit this has to stop!

Nobody caused it except that nutjob that did the shooting. Why do you want to cover for him?

Its not cover, its called reality. He was programmed to hate.

No your covering up for that wack job and making him a victim of something he is not. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I have no reason to be ashamed. Its called a different opinion. If you don't like it then you can always...

Blaming the actions of a nutcase on the right is politicising it and covering up for the nutcase by making him the victim. Why don't you pull your head out.

................THAT WOULD MAKE HIM JUST LIKE YOU, WOULDN'T IT?

Leave it to the unstable, insecure murderous Che lover to expose his stupidity. Way to show your true colors there. Everyone on this site knows you are the head case in this microcosm so we will continue to give you a pass until such a time that you reveal your truly violent tendencies.

If you have anything intelligent to say, please chime in anytime.
