Reply #136: If Duckworth still isn't explicitly antiwar after losing both legs

[Ken Burch]

We can assume she's a hardline hawk. And her positions on every major issue are antiprogressive.
I wasn't talking about the other vets. It was enough for Kerry to endorse the progressive ones.

If he is just going to endorse anyone who's an Iraq war vet, he might as well have campaigned for Barry Goldwater Jr. in the 70's because it was enough that Barry Jr. was a Vietnam vet.

This is all especially bad in the Illinois 6th district race, since the whole Duckworth race is about trying to stop the renomination of an electable progressive peace candidate. Christine Cegelis is a Democrat, Duckworth has no political convictions whatsoever. She should be a vet center counsellor, not a pawn in a campaign to stop the Illinois 6th District electing a REAL Democrat.
