*** Can anyone tell me the value of this kind of political attack simply to gain office? ***

Sure. Because I live in IL near where Tammy 'I Served In Iraq & Was Wounded' Duckworth lives and wants to run.

First of all, from her first run for Congress in 2006 she's used her 'wounded Iraq war veteran' status like Jesse and Rev Al use the Race Card. She's rabidly anti gun (she's a raving Moonbat) and wants more gun laws in IL, like a complete assault weapon ban. And when her first opponent confronted her on that STOO-PID idea she played her 'Wounded Veteran Card' and the 'I know those guns and you don't' bullcrap. She lost that election. Then iirc she tried again in 08 and used the same wounded vet sympathy card: 'I lost my legs in battle, Vote for me please'. And I believe again in 2010. Since then she's worked in the Barry O'Bammy Admin. (point is; she's run for congress a lot, always lost, and ALWAYS used her service as an election ploy.)

The fact is Tammy Duckworth is a far leftist Moonbat and uses her service and her wounds as a crutch (no pun). She practically begs for votes just on that - and No Guns in IL. She's a female John Kerry, only with real wounds, combined with a Rev Al & JJ race card player. So Joe Walsh was 100% correct. All Tammy will talk about is HER and her wounds. Not any issues that wil help IL or the District she's now running for. And by her own actions she's on the line of 'not being a REAL hero' (like the 99% Former Marines vs the 1% 'ex-Marines'). I know REAL Heroes, from that Vietnam thing, and they won't say shit about what they went through and had to do to survive. (1)

(1) Like my 'BFF' Den who was 7 days 'short'. He went on Patrol then ambushed by an NVA Regiment. He was one of about a dozen who made it back alive after that firefight -- out of an entire Infantry Company. I was the only one of 'the gang' he told that incident too. Those guys he only told about the 'typical firefights' with Tracers flying both ways and Claymores going off.
(I pray for Den a lot, he's got PTSD and BAD, but will not, and never did go begging for FedGov money or 'help'. His wife was and is his strength and support. Now that's a HERO!)

“All Tammy will talk about is HER and her wounds.”

This is exactly my point.

Patiently point out her avoidance of issues without bringing up her self-obsorbtion with her veteran service is not the way to go.

Stay with the issues.

The difference between her and Kerry is that he is a liar, she is not, even if she is disgusting in her manner.

Mr. Walsh won't win this by point her behavior out...only the issues will sink her.
