Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Martha McSally flew an A-10 Warthog and was the first woman in U.S. history to command a fighter squadron in combat. Can she get any more awesome? Yes she can. She also sued the Pentagon over requiring women to wear Muslim garb when they were off base in Saudi Arabia. She ended up going the legislation route and getting it passed (on both sides of the aisle) to stop what she calls a female apartheid on the military and bad policy. She says her oath is to the Constitution only, not some religious law in Saudi Arabia.

After serving her country she is now running for the House in Arizona to replace Gabby Giffords and boy do I ever hope she wins.

I hope she wins. She seems like an amazing woman!

She based in a liberal pocket of Arizona and even though that was Giffords seat, it has some Republican support.

The Arizona "electionprojection" page doesnt have an update for her race since August.

Impressive! You would be hard put to find a female democrat with credentials like that. Just imagine her and Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz side by side. No contest!

What a woman! She is the total package. She is the kind of lifetime partner anyone would be proud and wish to have. She is most definitely and "Officer and a Lady". And is a strong Constitutional Conservative who truly believes in "Honor-Duty-Country."

Please Nevada! vote her into office come November 6Th.

Who in their right mind would NOT vote for this woman! What a stupendous role model for young woman everywhere (and even some of us not so young women). I wish I could vote for her, what a privilege it would be to have her represent.

You have a good memory, wasn't her opponent the creep that tried to accuse the TeaParty and Sarah Palin for the Gabby Gifford shooting before anything was known about the perp.?

Sally is absolutely correct about the true war on women in Islam. Women in this country will get a rude awakening when the globalists, marxist, islamist people they vote for get into power enough to force shariah law. Women here will really lose their rights then. I remember Hillary Clinton slamming George Bush on damaging Americas position in the world. That's because she wanted America to be more like the rest of the world in order to promote her globalist agenda. I want America to be the great nation it always has been, not melted down by foreign influence. What really scares me is the way American and world history is being forgotten. Something else that no one is talking about is the history of islamic conquest which has returned and still going on. When we let enough muslims move in over here and populate this nation to have voting strength, America and all of it's freedom will be lost. We're not far from that right now because in 2008, people who are deficient between their ears elected a muslim president who has been destroying the constitution ever since. It's called quiet jihad. They move in and populate until their strong enough to take over. At the same time the muslim nations restrict who comes in and what is said in their countries. They kill Christians and burn Churches. They use our desire to fight for civil liberties against us. The American ideal must be defended here at home.

jerryrob, you are spot on! Michelle Bachmann and Louie Gomer were excoriated when they just raised questions about Hillary Clinton’s assistant and John McCain and John Boehner ridiculed them, in public, saying that they didn’t know what they were talking about. I am so sick and tired of John McCain for many reasons but two among them is his inability to see the infiltration of these Muslims and the other is his role in the Libya. He was one of many Republicans pushing for support of the supposedly anti Khadafy movement when people like Allen West was saying that we are unsure about the make-up of the anti-Khadafy crowd. I am also beginning to wonder that if the investigation occurs about Libya will it be known that John McCain was one of those people pushing to arm the rebels in Libya and will that be public? I respect John McCain for his service and sacrifice for the country but he is a RINO and his ideas are antiquated, useless, and dangerous. I cringe whenever I see him with Romney because that signifies that he will have a significant role in his administration. These RINOS will be the end to the Republican party.

If McSally wins a Congressional seat this time, it might be her that could run for Ariz. Senator in 4 years and McCain can just retire then.

As Betty White would say:"Forget balls, she has a big, brass set of ovarys." You couldn't pay me enough to cross her. She is a part of what this country needs in the worst way. How many more days, again?

Part of my growing years was as a kid on Myrtle Beach Air Force Base in the 70's. The main plane on the base at that time was the A-10 Warthog. I remember thinking how funky they looked after living on bases such as Nellis Air Force Base which had the F-4 Phantom and was the home of the Thunderbirds. I also remember in the 70's when the Thunderbirds switched from the F-4 to the T-38 I believe it was. The T-38's used waaay less fuel. The Thunderbirds used to practice a lot over N.A.F.B., so we saw jaw-dropping aerobatics many times per month.

Anyway, the thing that always amazed me about the A-10 was how slow it could go. I don't remember the exact speed but it was somewhere around 45 mph and could turn on a dime. It seemed to act like a helicopter at times. My Dad was in avionics maint. squadron which handled the electronics on AF planes.

On many occasions Dad would take our big console TV apart on the living room floor and spread out all the parts. Had to replace the picture tube several times, and various vacuum tubes a few times too. Remember the vacuum tubes? Can you imagine wearing a wristwatch with vacuum tube technology?

OK I rambled and now am not even sure disqus will post this because it says at the top of the page that they are in maint. mode. Oh well...here goes. Use it or lose it.

Oh, and GO, Go, Go, Martha McSally! Salute! Here's a slogan:

It ain't silly to vote McSally! Have a great day friends.

She's the last person you want to accuse of waging a war on women.

She is a true hero and she has done what most men could only dream of doing. I hope she wins.

I believe the democrats will be slightly surprised when they realize that the war will not be a war on women from republicans, but much more of a war from women on democrats.

If this war hero isn't elected over that democrat putz, I've lost all hope. The war on women is real, just like the war on minorities, and it is lead by democrats that cannot stand to have women off their backs and blacks out of the ghettos.

kong1967

That's spot on. Dems rely on the vote from dependent women and blacks, and those that aren't dependent they try to lure by saying Republicans hate them. Dems cannot afford for either of those groups to become independent or to realize that Republicans are not against them or their values.

As a result, blacks and women vote against their best interests by falling for the propaganda from the left.

Hey, question for those that live in her district, does that also include Davis Monthan AFB? Could that possibly give her an edge over the libs in Tucson and the U of A crowd?
