More "compassionate conservative" rhetoric:  Peter Roskam, who is running for Congress in Illinois' 6th District, accused his Democratic opponent Tammy Duckworth of wanting to "cut and run" from Iraq.

Duckworth, a double amputee and war veteran, lost her legs in Iraq.

Why not write Roskam a nice little note at his website telling him what you think about him? He needs encouragement to STFU. There's very few instances other than giving money when people outside a district can help. This is one of them. If he gets enough polite outraged emails it just might tamp down his enthusiasm for being a grade A creep. And we all know when you take that away from Repubs it sucks the life right out of them.

Interesting. Comments left on Roskam's blog don't seem to register.

Yeah well he's not stupid enough to let people write awful insults about him for the public to see but you can email him.
