During the primaries there many things said by candidates which I found offensive but none reached the level of Joe Walsh. Click here to see a bit of his campaign speech.
Col. Tammy Duckworth, flying a Blackhawk helicopter lost both legs and the use of her right arm in Iraq. She has stayed in the service and has been in the news frequently for all the fighting she has done for veteran's rights. She has given more to this country than all those body parts in her dedication to service for the country and all those who serve it.
This Congressional Teaparty Representative has called our President Obama a liar, and decrees that Col. Duckworth is not a hero because she talks about her service record too much. This criticism from a man who while serving in the House of Representatives was not paying his child support which was over $100,000. I mention this as a reflection of responsibility. Of the two, a comparison of what they have done for their country and the people in it loses him even an honorable mention by comparison to what Col. Duckworth has done.
This shocking stump speech tops Rick Santorum's selfish stand on contraceptives, abortion and women's rights. It rises above, in its evilness, by someone who never served in the military but gets to vote on issues for them and who clearly has no idea what that means. Romney's lack of plans and being such a puppet to the conservative right doesn't even begin to qualify on a par. If the voters in Illinois vote this ridiculous man, who is in need of anger management, will have no one to blame but themselves for listening to his ravings about himself rather than looking at his lack of achievement for those whom he represents. Some people are speaking out. "The petition from VoteVets.org says it's time to teach Walsh that "all of our veterans are heroes and that we can never recognize them enough for their service." The petition from EMILY's List, which supports Democratic women who favor abortion rights, urges: "Stop the GOP from taking down our pro-choice champions. Tell Joe Walsh to stop questioning Tammy Duckworth's heroic service to our country!" -Chicago News Tribune.
