A New Dimension In Thoughtlessness

Today’s Daily Caller posted an article stating that California Democrat Representative  Loretta Sanchez has requested that Representative Gabrielle Giffords be taken off of the House Armed Services Committee until she recovers from the injuries she sustained in Tucson.

These are the same Democrats who put Representative Hank Johnson on the House Armed Services Committee where he made the following statement to a military officer during a briefing about troop increases on Guam, “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,”   I think they can wait for Representative Giffords to get back to Washington.  I hope and pray that her recovery will continue to go as well as it has.

Representative Sanchez said that since every vote on the committee was critical, she felt Representative Giffords should be replaced at least temporarily. 

The article reports:

“A spokesman for Committee Chairman Rep. Buck McKeon told TheDC that he does not support Sanchez’s call to have someone fill in for Giffords.”

Someone needs to explain to Representative Sanchez that it’s not always about votes–sometimes it’s about compassion.
