All attempts to distract voters from the issues at stake this election year. Well said Biko. Willie Horton, Swift boat, gay marriage, terrorism, it's just there to obscure the fact the Right in this country is idea-poor.

Of course Roskam is busy identifying his opponent as a Blago insider, every IL GOPer who can will do so. He doesn't want to run on the issues or his voting record (which is deplorable). Funny that he rarely talks about the time he spent as a staffer for Tom DeLay. Dubious. Also - a little research shows that Morgenthaler actually lived in the district longer than Roskam. She was gerrymandered out when it was re-distrcted a few years ago. He moved out when he unsuccessfully challeged Rep. Biggert in the 13th. All attempts to distract voters from the issues at stake this election year.

I might ad that it's also a heartbreaking to go through the process of getting an abortion. The wingers act like women do this as a lark. It's not a decision that anyone takes lightly. Interesting stat: in republican administrations, abortion rates go up, opposite for democrat administrations.

Blago crony and not living in the district you're running for are pretty big hurdles to overcome.

This should be forwarded to every woman you know who has had to go through the long and often heartbreaking process of in vitro. It is truly appalling that Peter Roskam has spent his time legislating an extremist agenda while our country faces the most challenging economic crisis in recent history.
