Democratic PAC uses ‘loud’ Joe Walsh in ads against Dold, Biggert

“Don’t blame banks! I am tired of hearing that crap!” Walsh is seen imploring on a video of him talking to 8th Congressional District residents.

In another clip he’s shown saying: “‘I want America to pay for my contraceptives.’ You’re kidding me. Go get a job!”

Clearly viewing Illinois as fertile ground to win over congressional seats, the House Majority PAC, which aims to put Democrats back into the lead in Washington, on Tuesday disclosed it had pumped $2.4 million into the three U.S. House races — in the 8th, 10th and 11th congressional districts.

One video, entitled “Loud” links Walsh to U.S. Representatives Bob Dold and Judy Biggert. While Walsh is a Tea Partier through and through, both Dold and Biggert are far more moderate. Still, the ad, which, according to the House Majority PAC, “will run in heavy rotation for two weeks,” on both cable and broadcast, works to link the three as equally “out of step” — even thought it only plays video snippets of Walsh talking.
