Where has Ms. Duckworth been for the last 30+ years? The abortion issue has not, for a very long time been a personal issue but one of the most public issues in the American culture. Pity! Perhaps her programn notes, compiled by the DCCC staff, didn’t give her enough info to digest and then regurgitate!
Case in point, my feeling is that she has been hired because she is a HAWK poster girl, and in Mr. Emanuels twisted mind, fits a poll domographic target that will possibly get her elected.
One thing I think however, Mr. Emanuel underestimated that the voting public really isn’t as stupid as he may think they are and that his snake oil dance would go under the radar. It might have happened before the internet but until our BIG BROTHER Government shuts down this last bastion of TRUTH, he’s out of luck!
Frans, your inane comment betrays the sort of blind sense of entitlement and mislaid blog-our-way-to-victory strategy that has really infected the Cegelis crowd.
Clearly she has high name ID in the vacuum that is the blog universe, not so much in the 6th CD.
And don’t you suppose St. Christine would give a similar answer?
it is not an inane comment, for the issue of abortion is frankly not as simple as duckworth states. who qualifies for an abortion? what age? which trimesters? which procedures? what about current legislation pending in the house and the senate? her answer is unsatisfactory, and it reveals a lack of knowledge on this issue.
You people are all nitpicking because you don’t like her — this is so incredibly transparent. For someone who is so inexperienced, it certainly looks like Duckworth showed a little experience by not giving more than was asked on the ever-present abortion question (and don’t you think PP and NARAL will vet this all between now and March?).
