http://act.credoaction.com/take_down/walsh-poll.htmlI used the word 'kicking' because then I can mention she has prosthetic legs because she lost hers when she was fighting for the U.S. Military. Then I can mention the woman is a true hero and an inspiration to ALL Americans, but especially those wounded service peeps who are returning home with their lives and bodies in shreds. There is a life after their injury and, perhaps, great things if they set their minds to it.
Joe Walsh, on the other hand, would say she is not a hero and that he is just plain sick and tired of hearing about her injuries and that she is unworthy of public office because she lowers herself to talk about her service to the country.
Joe Walsh got paid over $100,000 last year to be a Congressman but he still hasn't paid his child support. Joe Walsh is gross.
So, Tammy Duckworth is kicking his ass in this poll and I just thought you all would like to see it. (The poll is from Credo Super Pac--my phone company. Unlike AT&T they give money to progressive causes like kicking the Tea Party's butt)

(15,392 posts)At whom is Walsh going to yell at next? Winner gets half the pot; the other half goes to Tammy's campaign.

Walsh 41%
Undecided 9%
Ol' Joe is in deep shit. It isn't nice to malign a severely injured military veteran. According to Walsh, if she says anything about her service, she isn't a hero.
Well, the polled people rejected that by 52% to 10%!! (34% didn't care; 4% undecided).
Fuck you, Joe Walsh. Tammy Duckworth is going to be the next Congress critter in IL-08.
Go Tammy!
Here's where you go to help her:

An Iraqi rocket took her legs, but that didn't stop Tammy Duckworth. And now a tea party incumbent thinks he can break her stride?
