Perhaps we should direct some of our time toward thanking them for really taking a risk that might cost them their jobs.

3. Gabrielle Giffords - AZ
And I'm very proud of her for doing so. I attended her one "town hall meeting" in Douglas (the one where a gun fell out of someones pocket on to the floor) and it was well attended by the tea baggers. When it was my turn to talk to her, I told her that I was in favor of single payer first, strong public option second. She told me that she was going to do what she could for the public option, but single payer wasn't in the cards. At least she was honest.

I'll be volunteering for her next year.
