Peter Roskam makes Olbermann's "Worst" list

GOPer Peter Roskam aka RoSCUM, who is running for Congress in the 6th Dist. of IL was named to Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World" list for claiming his opponent Tammy Duckworth, who lost her legs serving in Iraq, wanted to cut and run. This CHICKENHAWK has no shame, he is a miserable SOB.

Funny how Roskam never actually made those "cut and run" comments. Ah, the glory of the spin machine.

[timmmahhhh]

And we lost.

Peter Roskam campaign machine calls me everyday leading up to an election and send me hundreds of paper ads running up phone bill and killing trees.

If this asshole doesn’t like him, he must be good

Some of my family lives in NW Indiana. I am from Winnetka (Mark Kirk's district), we are significantly more socially liberal here, but New Trier itself is solidly GOP in general.

True on Roskam's district. I've been here six years moving over from NW Indiana. I never thought I would see the words Hyde and liberal together but then again I only heard bits about him from the state next door.

Roskam's district is rubber-stamp Republican anyway. There were concerns that Henry Hyde was too liberal for the district. There is nothing wrong with a person voting with party leadership.

Rubber Stamp Roskam - W's lapdog

@logalogalog His nickname during the Bush years was "Rubber Stamp Roskam" because he was a water carrier for Bush which means he DOES NOT represent me!

DuPage is getting bluer all the time - don't give up hope. Granted he is very popular right now so 2010 will probably be his year again as there is no strong Dem to challenge him. Support Schanowsky Bean Halverson and the other saner districts and perhaps when enough of these Foxbots see that the GOOPers are trying to screw this country maybe even DooPage county will finally wake up too.

Cons like to play the we support veterans card so it's my turn - nice way to badger a veteran with both her legs shot off. The site rubberstamproskam was developed for a reason. I've written him three letters and while he was kind enough to write back his form letters that give no substance or specific direction on his stance. And when it came time to vote of course it WAS along party lines. I'll credit him for one thing though - at the GOP retreat he was the most civil to Obama.

Duckworth's PAC is running ads against Mark Kirk here in Illinois right now talking about how much he hates veterans, etc. When the man is active duty military personnel. Duckworth is a lame liberal wannabe. To suggest Roskam, a former malpractice trail attorney, votes party line is ridiculous. He has come over to the good side with his age.
