For these baggercons who were voted into Congress in 2010 (Joe Walsh, Allen West, etc.), what have any of them actually accomplished since they were elected? What laws have they legislated? What bills have they introduced or co-sponsored? How have they helped their constituents directly? What jobs did they help create in their districts? The only thing these baggercons seem good at is confrontation with  Read More...

So Joe says: "I'm the guy who SLEEPS in my office......She's been the one who's WORKING in Washington......" Sums it up nicely, Joe. You haven't done anything but sleep (and spew bagger nonsense) while Tammy's been working.....Enjoy your retirement from public office.

Perhaps Joe can officially join the ranks of the RepubliCONS' Anti-Women-Anti-Children wing of their Anti-People campaign. He would be an asset and a great salesman because of his Anti-Family values. Joe, when are you going to pay your ex-wife the $117,000 you owe your children in overdue and back child-support payments?

Why do Tpublicans continue to be placed in positions by their corporate backed GOP leaders to compromise their stated Christian values and beliefs? Why do these followers continue to be exploited and told to blame others when these hypocritical heretics, who are selected by corporate backed interests, continue to be exposed as dysfunctional individuals, charlatans and shysters?

Finally, when are our politicians going to begin to work on the side of the poeple writ large and not on behalf of individuals, special interests, corporations and financial institutions who are working against the majority of Americans, while continuing to game the system on behalf of profits, individual wealth and power?

Future online dictionaries will have Walsh's picture next to the word "dolt".

Making light of Duckworth's sacrifice for her country really is the last nail in the coffin of his re-election hopes.

Tammy is a true hero who has served and truly sacrificed for this country.

Joe is a father who hasn't supported his own children for years.

What is there to decide here ?

Tammy will blow him away. And I mean that in the nicest way.

So how does Joe prepare for re-election?

1. Stop paying his bills. He won't pay child support, why should he pay anyone else.
2. Claim to be the victim of the left. The teabaggers love this.
3. Suck up to faux news. He's going to need the consulting cash when he doesn't have a job in Jan.
4. Watch MSNBC's lockdown Illinois. He going to need those tips when going to the prison shower or getting a jail tattoo.

At least we'll have a congresswoman ALL Americans can be proud of, despite her political perspective. We never have to question her devotion to the nation....then there's Joe, a man that hasn't shown proper commitment to his own family. You are not fit to sit in Congress Joe, and that's saying a lot.

This is Joe's biggest nightmare a strong woman and a veteran. He just doesn't know what to do so he insults Ms. Duckworth like a bully. The swiftboaters are back no thank's to Karl Rove but they call themselves 'The Tea Pary'
