56. I am an apostate in this particular instance.

There is one and only two** reasons I do not care for Injured Iraqi War Veteran Tammy Duckworth. The only thing Injured Iraqi War Veteran seems to campaign on are the injuries that Injured Iraqi War Veteran got in Iraq.

I am looking forward to the Tea Bagging poster boy going down. But I really do get sick of that shit. Also I would like to know, does Injured Iraqi War Veteran actually stand with Democrats on anything? I hope she doesn't turn out to be another Cindy Sheehan.

[font size1]** Two would be my #1 reason actually. After big money helped Centrist Tammy Duckworth narrowly beat out the local Democrat whom all the polls showed trouncing the Republican, Centrist went on to lose that race. The local would probably have won that election and campaigned as a Liberal, Progressive. Centrist took the centrist route and lost. Actually, I might like this about Centrist as she has provided excellent proof that this centrist bullshit doesn't work.[/font]
