This woman is nothing short of a hero..and a no nonsense type of person that will shake up corruption at the VA. SHE COULD VERY WELL BE THE ONLY POLITICIAN IN ILLINOIS THAT ISN'T CORRUPT. We'd hate to lose her here, but she would serve our veterans well.

She'd only be effective if she can start firing people, writting them up with disipinary actions, maybe putting some in jail and beat the unions about the face and head to get them to change their ways. Oh wait thats not going to happen no matter whos in charge. Why? because the Government Unions are in charge. Where do most of their contributions go? Oh thats right to Dear Leader the POSTUS that would put her in charge.

It would be a tragedy to waste a perfectly good person.

It would be a waste for the Democrats politically UNLESS...... Dear Leader turns on his supporters and really does something to fix the system instead of the useless idiotic crap like his "Carbon" plan.

Put Mitt Romney in charge of revamping the VA!

Then he could put up, or shut the hell up.

Biography | Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth
I don't think vote Republican vs Democrat", I vote "People vs Authority". I support candidates, regardless of party if they're actively working for the people, as opposed to the authority (whether that be political or corporate). Without researching her other political stances, I believe this woman would really work for the veterans. That's enough for me.

So he could "fix" it the way he "fixes" all his other companies? By firing everybody and dissolving it for a profit?

That sure would help those veterans, all right!


And I, too, would support Tammy Duckworth for the VA. Of course, the GOP would oppose her the same way her opponent did in her Senate race, by dismissing her service and mocking her for talking about it.

Actually, Ms. Duckworth ran for the house and won.
