Duckworth using pregnancy to educate male-dominated Senate
MSN/AP ^ | 2/18/18 | LAURIE KELLMAN,

Posted on 02/18/2018 9:05:09 AM PST by Mandingo Conservative

Duckworth, one of 22 women in the Senate, has the experience to give her policy advice and criticisms of President Donald Trump an especially authoritative edge. His demand for a military parade? "Our troops in danger overseas don't need a show of bravado, they need steady leadership," she said...Breaking down barriers is nothing new for Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and that's the way she likes it...she'll be the first senator to give birth while in office...And so, along with her legislative and political goals, the Illinois Democrat is adding a new one: educating the tradition-bound Senate on creating a workplace that makes room for new moms...She points to flaws in Chicago's mass transit system, for example, and in a ladies' room at a U.S. embassy overseas...She's the first female amputee elected to Congress, the first Asian-American to represent Illinois in Washington and the first member of Congress born in Thailand...not exactly known for being on the leading edge of equality. The first area specifically set up for lactation opened in the Capitol only a dozen years ago. The House installed its first lavatory for women lawmakers in 2011. The Senate has had its own women's restroom for 25 years.

I would support her if she wasn't a Democrat and wasn't a stooge for Planned Parenthood but she's a typical suburban middle class woman with big government tendencies and first world problems. She's half Asian American - something that the article doesn't state. Her dad was white. I have come to understand that Democrat women in power or feminism isn't really about equality between the sexes, it's about penis envy, and domination.

“it’s about penis envy, and domination. “

So where did Duckworth get a penis? Is’t she a lesbian? I guess the old turkey baster method was employed with sperm from some male queer!

Who the heck cares that she's the first whatever? I don't vote for anyone based on that, and I'm not impressed by any of that. First female amputee? Really?

"Duckworth using pregnancy to educate male-dominated Senate"

Oh yeah, I get it. Like none of the men in the Senate have ever had wives who were pregnant. It's clear as - well something - now.

She really likes to show off her war injuries. I know people who wear artificial legs and no one can tell that they do so.

Could it be.... Naw, politicians don’t even think like that.

There is a certain class of woman that looks upon the US feral government as their sugar daddy.

She’s a meatpuppet for the most corrupt political Machine in America: the Illinois Combine. The great folks who brought America Emperor Zero. Her “morals”, “ethics” and “values” are in complete opposition to the Constitution and Founding Fathers. That she served in the military only to sell her soul for power is even more disgusting.

With such narcissistic people in the highest offices of the land, it is no wonder why we are in such deep crap as a nation.

This woman loves to dance.

She dances on the tragedies of wounded veterans, exploiting her own injuries for the sole purpose of garnering votes.

She dances on the dead bodies of millions of aborted children...yet insists that the fact she is giving birth is some sort of milestone...as a politician.

She dances on the graves of anyone that has been victimized in any way, playing it up for her own personal aggrandizement in her quest for political office.

She is a repugnant person...she looks down her nose at any one that does not immediately reveal themselves to her as a liberal, progressive, baby-killing, gun-grabbing, pervert-loving piece of shit in her own image.

I have met her type, time and time again.

They are all the same...we call them Hillary, Pelosi, Waters, Jackson-Lee, ad nauseum.

Duckworth is a married woman. Because her advanced age, she has relied upon artificial insemination for her pregnancies because she and her husband were unable to conceive children without medical intervention.

She is a liberal lunatic who was promoted constantly and elected with the full support of the Democratic Machine. When she failed in her first Congressional campaign, the Democrats saw to it that she received a series of important salaried appointments (both State and Federal veterans affairs posts) until a gerrymandered district could be created for her in Congress.

Duckworth was sued by whistleblower employees in the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs (where disabled and elderly veterans were receiving substandard care). The case settled before trial.

Her father’s family goes all the way back to the American Revolution. She could be a member of the DAR because of that. She was born in Thailand because her dad worked there. Although her mother was a Thai citizen.

A woman who was concerned with the health of her unborn child - particularly one with a high risk pregnancy like her - shouldn’t be working.

If she cared about her unborn child’s health she would resign now. The fact that she won’t proves that she is using the whole pregnancy for political gain.
