I know. What the republicans - melmouth and rove did to cleland using the smalls minds and disgusting prejudice of the fundamental folks - was despicable. I think they really have to watch themselves in their disgusting attempts to trash this gal.

She's a real hero, this young gal, and adorable,too. I hope she wins! She seems to take no prisoners: Tammy Duckworth leaned on a pool table at Champs Sports Bar in suburban Chicago and told reporters waste is rampant in Iraq and taxpayers are being ripped off by defense contractors like Halliburton. A wide-screen television behind her carried silent pictures of the previous night’s sporting events. Yellowing photographs of golf greats lined the walls. She leaned on the table for support to stand up. Duckworth, a Democrat, takes great pride in the military. But she is against the war in Iraq. The 38-year old Army major walks with prosthetic legs and canes, moving like a weary cross-country skier. A rocket-propelled grenade smashed into the Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting over Iraq on Nov. 12, 2004. Duckworth lost her legs and came close to dying during a series of emergency operations. “There is absolutely no reason I should have survived the shoot down of my chopper,” she said. “They could have left me behind because they thought I was dead.” Instead, fellow soldiers hauled her body to a waiting medevac helicopter that flew her to an Army hospital in Baghdad. “Doctors said if I got there four minutes later I would have bled to death.” foxnews.com
