Assassination attempt on representatives

I've been saying this for a couple of years. We're going to see a lot more of this. People are starving, worrying about health insurance, and unable to find quality jobs. Meanwhile, Congress has health insurance/pension for life, countless back room bribes from lobbyists, and nothing better to do with their time but to assure corporations are in charge of the country. Nothing gets done, as we all sit and wait.

Each and every legislator needs to fear for their lives. I don't want to see anyone killed, but I think we need to see more actions like this.


Our elected officials are entirely too comfortable.

You want to see more legislators shot? Ok
 
At first glance I thought that, then I read it again. He clearly states he does not want to see anyone killed, just held more accountable.

No, reread it. He said I think we need more actions like this. He's referring to shootings
 
Has even one liberal on this board wondered if their own overreaction to losing an election is partially to blame for this shooting?

How else do you explain the comment of:

How does "accountability" equate needing to "fear for their lives"??
 
They do not vote themselves into office. Dumb Americans do that for them. Then keep re-electing them.
That's part of the game. Citizens United made it possible for foreign entities to select our govt. officials.

It's time they feared for their lives. Maybe they'll actually DO something. In Feb. '14, the House announced that nothing meaningful would get done for the rest of the year.

That has to change.

Or similar actions that make our legislators sit up and take note. Quite a few shootings never end up with anyone getting hit. Of course I don't cheer anyone getting hurt like that Republican asshole who probably blocked any legislation keeping guys like this from getting a gun. I merely stated that this has been a long time coming, and have said so on these boards.

What do you expect?

I asked you first.
