Tucson victim: Giffords makes me want to vomit. Well sir, you make me want to vomit as well

From MSNBC.com

A former Marine whose wife of 54 years was killed last year in the Tucson shootings that left six dead and 13 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, has strong feelings about the Arizona lawmaker and her retired astronaut husband, Mark Kelly.

"Every time I see them on TV," George Morris told the Arizona Republic, "it makes me want to vomit."

He said he and his wife had gone to Giffords' town-hall meeting outside the grocery store in Tucson on Jan. 8, 2011, to complain to his congresswoman, who he says kept voting for liberal causes.

But before he had a chance to vent his anger, a gunman began shooting people in the crowd. Morris' wife, Dorothy, 76, was killed in the rampage, and he was hit in the legs and back. Giffords was shot in the head.

In the days following the shooting, Morris, a self-described "ultraconservative," even refused an invitation to have President Barack Obama visit him in his hospital room, the Arizona Republic reported.

"I will not kowtow to anyone," he told the newspaper. "People would not believe that I would refuse the president."

Jared Lee Loughner, 23, has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges in the shooting. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is being forcibly medicated at a Missouri prison facility in an effort to make him mentally ready for trial.

On Sunday, the anniversary of the event, Giffords and her husband attended a remembrance at the University of Arizona. The congresswoman, who has spent the past year in Houston undergoing intensive physical and speech therapy, led the crowd of hundreds in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Morris, who had campaigned on behalf of Giffords' opponent in the 2010 election, said he didn't think Giffords should be in office then or now.

"I think she ought to be thrown out of Congress posthaste," Morris told the Arizona Republic. "I do not think she is worthy of serving."

He also said Giffords' husband should have had better security in place to protect his wife, knowing she was a target of death threats.

"I'd like to debate our dear captain astronaut (and ask) why he didn't have security," Morris told the Arizona Republic. "My wife would still be alive."

It was unclear why he thought Kelly should have been involved in security for an official event held for a member of Congress.

Morris said he understands his comments about the congresswoman and her husband are controversial, especially among surviving relatives and victims of the shootings.

But he said the violence outside the Tucson grocery store has not changed his opinion on Giffords' politics.

"Either you stand for what you believe in or you stand for nothing at all," Morris said.

Morris met his wife when they were juniors in high school. He told the Arizona Republic that they shared a great marriage of 54 years. "I can tell you no man has ever loved a woman more than I loved my wife," he said.

For starters Mr. Morris, Gabby is a CONSERVATIVE Democrat. She belongs to the NRA, owns at least one gun and a motorcycle, is in favor of tighter immigration controls and favored tax cuts.

Also if you knew Gabby had been receiving death threats, why in the hell did you drag your wife down to the meet-and-greet at Safeway on that fateful day.

God pity you.
