Joe Walsh Jr. son of embattled congressman begs Tammy Duckworth to take down ads!

Deadbeat dad's son age 25 begs Lt Col Tammy Duckworth to take down ads accusing his "Father" of being the deadbeat wage garnished dad he has always been. Rep. Joe Walsh (R.IL) says he had nothing to do with it. It was all his son lil Joe's idea. Two weeks before the election Tammy says "no". He is soooo going to lose. Call him a wahmbulance!

. Good for Tammy Duckworth too. This is a character issue. I hope she crushes him in a landslide.

Just because the facts show his father in a bad light. He wants the ads down?

Sorry, your dad made the choice years ago to not be responsible. He's got to deal with the consequences of that choice.

the station headlined the story with "Controversial ad." People go to jail for not paying child support.

suddenly wants us to treat him kindly.

If we have him down on the ground, somebody kick him in the balls. He's got it coming.
