Congressman Walsh, you’ve excoriated the state for paying its bills late and running up huge liabilities. If such behavior is bad for state elected officials, is it acceptable for congressmen to be overdue in paying their taxes and other bills?

Congressman Walsh … which of your YouTube rants is your favorite and why?

Cong.Walsh—Do you think your secret deadbeat agreement to stay secret the entire campaign or will you go the way of Jack Ryan and other who watched “sealed” docs serve as the kindling for the end of career bonfire

Tammy Duckworth - will you take your marching orders from Rahm Emanuel?

Joe Walsh - will you take your marching orders from the Koch brothers?

For both: Name one accomplishment that relates to the job you are seeking that you, and only you, can take credit that your opponents supporters will agree?

Mr. Walsh, just how loud are the voices in your head and do they ever suggest that you set fire to things?

Rep. Walsh, you voted to toss out the budget deal that Speaker Boehner agreed to last year following acrimonious negotiations that led to a downgrade of US debt. Instead of automatic across the board spending reductions, the new bill you voted for cuts food stamps, meals on wheels and other social spending instead of deep cuts to defense that Boehner wanted.

Don’t you think the Pentagon is a good place to cut spending, given the withdrawl from Iraq and next year’s exit from Afghanistan? If so, how much would you cut?

Congressman Walsh: In 1976 the rocker with the same name released an album titled “You Can’t Argue with a Sick Mind.” Would you say that was foreshadowing?

Congressman Walsh, who will you be lobbying for once you lose this election?

Comment by Chevy owner/Ford County Friday, May 11, 12 @ 12:16 pm
Cong. Walsh, you are the only politician in Illinois who openly embraces what’s left of the tea party? How’s that working for you?

Quest 2 Cong Walsh, what are you going to do when you’re out of a job come January?

Congressman Walsh, which far right radio/cable spot are you angling for after you lose in November?

Congressman Walsh: Rocker Joe Walsh
also released an album titled “The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get.” In your now infamous bar rant, had you been getting player?

For Duckworth: name a position you have that is in disagreement with President Obama’s policy.

For Walsh: name a position that you have that is in agreement with President Obama’s policy.

One more for Duckworth
Walsh and Obama are both fathers do you think being a parent makes one a better public servant?

Do think the voters are crazy enough to re-elect
you?

Comment by mokenavince Friday, May 11, 12 @ 2:01 pm
moken-to answer your question, what % of Illinois voters can claim that in the last 15 years they’ve never voted for a politician who has spent time in jail for corruption?

so yes.

Rep. Walsh, your opponent hits about every electoral demographic check box on the board. Do you hit any?

Do you realize that only 8 months remain if you hope to elevate yourself to first rank in the google search results for the term “crazy congressman?”
