14. I'm so glad that Tammy Duckworth won!

I am so glad that Tammy Duckworth- in addition to Tammy B- won their respective elections. I am especially glad that Tammy Duckworth won to get rid of that loudmouthed, male bigoted teabagger, repugnant joe walsh, in Illinois.

I live in Illinois so you know that I definitely wanted to get rid of that loudmouth, joe walsh. What am empty headed racist ugly person he was. Geez am I glad that I won't have to listen to him anymore. It was like fingernails running across a chalkboard whenever he spoke- and did I mention that he was "LOUD!-

On top of that, the bastard was a deadbeat dad who was far behind in his children child support payments to the court for his family.

Good riddance!

17. Thank god she won. I thought I was going to blow a gasket if I saw Joe Walsh one more time.

He is truly one of the most repulsive people on the planet. I am so glad she kicked his ass.

Go Tammy!

[malibea]

19. You? I thought I was the person who really felt this way!

You can say that again! I am so glad that I discovered some company here. I could not stand to hear his VOICE-at any time!
But I thought I was the only one who really felt that way. So glad to know that I am not by myself. My question is how can one person be so malevolent and in two words- so awful?
Again welcome!!!!

[sheshe2]

8. 2013 is off to a great start!

Cheers!

[malibea]

15. Yes!

One word: YES!

[Voice for Peace]

10. it's a new world!

there will be bumps and trials and traumas but the
sun is rising on this humanity, in my opinion.

[Amonester]

12. Progress comes in in small steps, but this is BIG!
