L. Tammy Duckworth, distinguished Iraq veteran

[Erika]

who lost her legs and whose arms were severely injured is now running as a democrat, for Henry Hyde's seat.

The freepers are already downing her. They don't like anyone who actually fought for their country.

Laura Ingraham has consistently said Duckworth was a role model for all Americans and service people.

I'm sure Laura will now join the right and the freepers in downing her. Partisan hacks against vets.

1. I guess I didn't see the previous post

It will be interesting to see how Laura Ingraham handles this.

2. I saw her interview

and it was pretty good. Only thing I didn't agree with is about the Iraq elections. They aren't going to help them be free unless you like an Islamic religious theocracy. I think, from the interview, she'd do pretty well in Congress and it seems like a good place to get started in politics. How sad they diss any democrat who has served their country who runs for office like her and Max Cleland and John Kerry. *Sigh* I believe they also got Wesley Clark. A four star general. Oy! I'll never understand a freeper's mind. And on "This Week" it was told that almost all of them are democrats. My district we have a guy running who is a vietnam veteran. I think 2006 will be the year for the vets.

3. We've elected enough GOP Chickenhawks

so I do hope we elect democratic vets.

I'm still curious as to how Laura Ingraham will justify going against Tammy after calling her an American hero for months.

4. it`s been a hot topic in the illinois forums

for quite sometime now...some people are a tad bit upset with her bid. power politics between the local and state/national democratic party

5. The thing is, the only voters whose opinions really matter are those

of Illinois' 6th district. I really look forward to them making the right decision, though I have no idea what it will be. Both Democratic candidates are excellent. How I wish I could face such a choice. Usually, I my choice in elections is "skank" over "skankier" here in Mississippi.
