If Congress would like to give a tribute to the victims of the Tuscon massacre, they can start by
sitting down and devising constructive immigration and health care policies, since these are the two issues with which they have allowed this nation to be ripped apart on. End the potential for futher division by doing these two things. We can demand it of them.

1. Especially on health care...
The mentally ill are usually the ones that fall through the cracks. Sounds as if this young man had problems for a long time and no interventions.

2. Not only "allowed" but deliberately
added fuel to the raging passions for purely political reasons, not because adding this fuel would be good for the people of this country. Yes, I'm talking about just the Republicans here.

The stunt of holding a repeal vote on Health Care is more of the same. It is not going to be repealed, yet the Repubs are going to further whup up the anger of their under informed "base" and then leave that anger hanging out there?

Totally reprehensible

4. I agree and they should be called on it.
The Teabagger "movement" was a manufactured one too until they lost control of it.

3. I wonder, though, if the manufactured class war isn't the basis of all. nt
