Something has to be done about conservative terrorism in America.  First Muslims and now Republicans are joining the act.  Sadly, given both their lack of morals and low intelligence, I can't say that I am suprised.

The problem in America is the politicians have essentially distanced themselves from the common person.  This is no longer a country where we are all equal.  Politicians are constantly and consistently above the average person in all aspects of life and this plays out on a daily basis.   

The problem with this,  is that they actually start voting and making decisions based on this twisted world view.  With little insight into their actual constituents. 

no, it's because they are taking orders from the corporations and special interests that fund their campaigns, that's why politicians don't work for the average person.  

Yes, you're absolutely right. Which results in what I stated above.  A situation where the common person doesn't matter.  A situation where the person with the most money lining their pockets does.

I haven't see this verified yet, but it has been reported that the shooter was Jared Loughner and this is a video that is supposedly from him:

 

Unless the United States has a new Tin-Foil hat party, I don't think it would be reasonable to blame this incident on any political party.

You're right.  The guy was apparently an atheist with some issue with the government in general.  Not related to a specific political party at all.
