    I find it strange and nauseating that a person with the same views as the shooters is hoping a man shot changes his politics while he is struggling to live.

    Perhaps you see it otherwise.

    It's called an analogy. Your dodge is noted, however.

    Because of a shooting that takes place? So you're OK with violence if it accomplishes a greater good?

    You're right. I'm sure the OP thought Giffords should have spent her time in ICU quietly reflecting too. I know Trent Franks keeps Gabby in his prayers.

    Why do I care about analogies?

    I never said I was okay with violence. Why did you just make that up?

    Why wouldn't you? If you have no problem with a left-winger wishing that a shooting hopefully shocked some sense into someone, but have a problem with a right-winger wishing that an Islamic terror attack shocked some sense into people, that would be a double-standard. They are essentially the same thing.

    You were asking me what was wrong about hoping that someone changes their policies after being shot.

    Bullshit. PT is always going to do PT things.

    "Has anyone else been wondering if and how this horrible experience might have affected is outlook on life and his political positions?"

    To me, this reads as:

    I wonder if this shitlord realizes the errors of his ways, and knows our people can get to him now. Hopefully he'll wake up and start voting Democrat... or else we can finish the job.

    I trust the intentions of that circus to do one thing: orchestrate hate and the downfall of anything that doesn't fix the progressive Marxist doctrine.

    And I never said anything about being okay with violence. Not once.

    Then why don't you see her comment as a problem? She's clearly hoping this gunshot wound did some good. Other "conservatives" in this thread had no problem seeing it, but not you for some reason.

    No, I don't see her comment as a problem. There's nothing wrong with hoping someone's views that you disagree with change after what most people would agree was really a life changing event. I was hoping after Joe Biden lost his son that he would change some of his views, after facing the harsh reality of how life is too short and people need good medical care. That doesn't mean I enjoy the fact that his son died of cancer.

    That's absolutely what the post said, it was just covered in a veil of bullshit so PT could appear to be caring. Anyone that's been here longer than a few days, and isn't a part of the circus, knows exactly what's happening here.

    Gabby Giffords changed much of her views after she faced that tragedy. So did the parents of some of the Sandy Hook students who were killed.

    It's no different than people who were opposed to the death penalty all of a sudden being for it when they lose a family member to violence. Life changing events mean more than physically changing. When you face death, you very often reflect on what's important to you.

    Not sure how you guys don't already know this.

    I find it strange that people in this thread don't know that life changing events often change peoples' views. But maybe i shouldn't be surprised at that. I'm not sure some of you can think beyond partisanship.

    PT has the same political outlook as Hodgkinson, the shooter, and is hoping that the gunshot wound he inflicted on Scalise is having a politically positive effect. PT has also made posts celebrating that white people are dying off in the US. So, obviously, some of us are able to see through the fake "compassion" angle that she is very poorly applying to her thread.

    What "views" that are contrary to quality healthcare was Joe Biden expressing?

    This thread would be tantamount to someone who supported the Sandy Hook shooter suddenly posting about how they hoped the dead children's families learned their lesson after the shooting. Would you support that?

    I missed where someone in this thread said "I hope he learned his lesson". Please link to that post.

    I wish he didn't have health insurance so he can see what half the country feels like.

    I didn't say he wasn't holding views that were contrary to quality healthcare. I said I wish he changed some of his views after he faced a life changing event. Like how great the healthcare system in this country already is, and how the government shouldn't interject itself into it.

    That's what PT was saying when she wondered if he changed his politics because of this shooting. That's what she hopes happened.

    If I, or any other conservative, celebrated the actual deaths of people, it would influence your impression of us in a negative way, but when someone on the left does exactly that, you still defend them. The mask slips a little more every day.

    There's a reason why multiple people instantly saw through the transparent OP to the original intention of the poster. We are familiar with her history. You'll notice she hasn't defended herself against these claims (and mostly likely won't, going by history).

    I've often wondered if Jesus Christ, when hanging on the cross, did some soul searching and wondered how he could change his outlook on life and his political positions. I mean, is he thinking, Father, what did I do wrong? /s
