Have you seen that Kirk has already started his campaign? [View all]

TV ads about his stroke recovery and military service.

Now I think his comeback from that horrible stroke shows he is a fighter. I applaud him for his hard work. But I don't want him fighting for me. His interests have nothing to do with me

The ad is so blatantly an attempt to try and compare his personal situation to that of Tammy Duckworth, it's shameful

Having a stroke is hardly the same as being in combat and losing limbs.

Duckworth for Senate!
