Joe Walsh. The great, great guitarist for the Eagles. As much as I have enjoyed listening to his riffs over the years, I dont think that Joe Walsh, the guitarist, should be in Congress.
Also Joe Walsh, the Congressman. He shouldnt be in Congress, neither.
Like David Rivera, about whom I wrote yesterday, Joe Walsh is another Member of Congress whom the cat drug in two years ago. But at least Rivera recognizes that silence is a virtue. Joe Walsh is without virtues.
Joe Walsh said that Barack Obama was elected President only because he pushed that magical button: a black man who was articulate, liberal the whole white guilt {thing}, all of that.

Joe Walsh didnt pay his child support.

Joe Walsh, like my opponent Todd Long, drove on a suspended license. (Although in Walshs case, unlike Longs, the media actually reported it.)

Last year, a Walsh constituent suggested to Walsh that the banks had been responsible for the Crash of 2008. Walsh swore at her.

The Democrats nominated Tammy Duckworth to face Walsh. Duckworth, a helicopter pilot, lost both legs and the use of one arm in Iraq. Joe Walsh callously whined, My God, thats all she talks about. Our true heroes, the men and women who served us, its the last thing in the world they talk about.

And on Thursday night, in a debate, Joe Walsh said that you cant find one instance of abortion being necessary to save the life of the mother. (Six hundred American women die from pregnancy each year.)

So our choice is between Tammy Duckworth, war hero, and Joe Walsh, irresponsible loudmouth. Hmmmmmm.
Joe Walsh should not be in Congress. And we have a good chance to get rid of him, on Nov. 6. Please click here, and support Walshs opponent Tammy Duckworth. Help remove the stain of Joe Walsh from Congress.
Courage,
