She wasn't very nice to him. If he pretends to miss her, no way he gets my vote.
Are we sure there was no foul play??
She really cared about Ohio. What a leader!
ok, it's got to be a coincidence.
But seriously, Tubbs-Jones was a great Dem. activist
who stuck her neck out! (Unfortunately, that can get
your head wacked off in Ohio and Bush USA.)
Our country is already there!
Damned wimp that she is.
I'd rather die proud with honor and integrity,
than die a damned criminal or wimp.
We need to return to those values because
that is what made our country strong in the
first place. Not to go all "Braveheart" here, but
the good people in U.S. govt. are becoming
scarce! Voluntarily or involuntarity!! If you haven't
noticed!
I don't know why Tubbs Jones suddenly,
mysteriously died in her 50s, but I do know
that she didn't knuckle under in her political
life. She was a real maverick from that
standpoint.
We've got some royal criminal wimps in
the White House and VP mansion.
She was too much of a fighter for that!!
At least we still have Kucinich up in Ohio!
It would be a little too obvious if Bush/CIA
knocked him off, now wouldn't it?!
Curious that Tubbs Jones never hesitated
to back up anti-Bush or impeachment legislation...
She just didn't back down.
CNN Flubbs Jones!
Indifferent to this congressperson (except for her nail fashions) until her anti-Obama commentary revolted me during the primaries. She was particularly witchy with near-death experience Tweety.
My cornchip nails are at half-finger.
She was and still is great.
(btw, a lot of Ohioans favored Clinton because they remember the
good 'ole days when Mr. Clinton delivered on a good economy.
"It's the economy, stupid" is still the mantra in Ohio! It overrides
just about everything else.)
Why is this happening?
Are you crazy?? She's far darker and more truly
American "black" than Obama ever could be.
Tubbs-Jones was one of the few brave, honest
souls who took off after Bush on stealing the
election from inner city black voters in 2004
and 2000. She went after them with Conyers
and that is the true spirit of Civil Rights for all.
She is a great lady. How dare you smear her with
such petty tripe at a time like this?
Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was like a lightning rod
for the truth. And BTW, she is one of the few
Superdelegates who converted to Obama from
Clinton. She just became a Superdelegate for him
in June. Some say she may be getting "punished" for that....
One thing I do know, is that Ohio is a hotbed for Rovian
corruption and Rep. Tubbs-Jones stood up to it with a
backbone of steel. Bushies were scared of her. The End.
God bless her!
second term...
Tubbs-Jones rattled the cage hard, especially
in the wake of the 2004 election fiasco. The
fiasco that is now coming to light with the
Congressional hearings where Rove refuses
to appear under subpoena to testify regarding
his involvement with terminating federal
prosecutors for political and voting
enforcement issues...
Certain investigators and independent
journalists are hot on the trail of what
really happened in OH.
have to deep six the big counter-players
like Tubbs-Jones.
Sadly, Ohio govt. is still quite corrupt with
remnants of the bad Repubs. still lurking.
For example, the "Independent" Inspector
General's Office is actually made up of some
political appointees who were very partisan
and have no business policing the ethics of
others!
They came from Ohio state agencies that
were little more than shady fronts for GOP
financial operations.

the average American citizen.
She was not apathetic. She worked hard. She was
tough. She was Bush's worst nightmare!
And our 'invisible' VP and criminal mastermind, Dick Cheney, was reputed to be a repeat customer on that list!
Yet, we see Gov. Elliot Spitzer, another very powerful, outspoken Dem. lightning rod go down with nary a peep. This is how they operate.
Another connection is that Spitzer was about to sue Bush-supported corporate interests that concentrated a lot of their dirty dealings in Cleveland. -Ohio is ground zero for the mortgage crisis- Spitzer recently had announced publicly that the Bush Administration had enabled these corporate criminals to create the sub-prime crisis and the Ohio housing fallout was a key example! That was pretty gutsy and if you have Spitzer, the former ace prosecutor, coming after you, you're in deep doo. Then, suddenly, Spitzer essentially gets set up and offed.
(current events are starting to seem like a good crime novel lately!)
Also, it didn't seem like Tubbs-Jones was in less than robust health. To the contrary, she seemed as resilient and fired up as ever.
