Who is getting more
As of this post, it has only been 74 days since the 8th District Congressman Joe Walsh was sworn into office.....597 days until he is voted out!.
As of this post, Joe is back in District for two weeks. One need only look at the Congressional Calendar to know that the 112th is spending more time in their district than they are in D.C.....only 32 days in Washington as of March 18th.
Just yesterday the Daily Herald reported that during a breakfast meeting in Palatine, Joe said" We are engaged in a fight for life" and "It's a big fight about freedom and the nature of government....It's a fight we have to have as a country"
While I prefer to use the term compromise rather than fight, the reality is we do have serious budget challenges facing this great nation. Challenges that cannot be adequately addressed when you are sitting at home or even meeting with constituents. These challenges need our representative and even our mis-representatives working in D.C. to present a plan of action, not just rhetoric.
Joe, you have already earned over $49,000.00 in salary for working 32 days. How about showing us something.
Is this what "Taking our Country Back" is all about? Nothing for something?

One only need read the comments on this weekend'd Daily Herald article on Walsh & Dold. In the comments, Dold gets nary a mention while Walsh is being called out for who he really is.

You were elected to work for us...Get back to work
I don't think Dold is the problem, so why not stick to finding out more about Walsh:
Walsh's Chief of Staff (Justin Roth), was a political hack and lobbyist for the Insurance and Bank lobby for many years. On January 5, 2011, Walsh started out as the poorest member of Congress - but has now raised almost $400,000 in the 1st Quarter of 2011. I wonder if Walsh ever explained any of this to his Tea Party followers in The Great Awakening, Barrington Tea Party, Palatine Tea Party, Northern Illinois Patriots, or the 9-12 Patriots. I'm guessing Walsh never mentioned it to his followers. Now you know why Justin Roth is Walsh's Chief of Staff.
Walsh's District Director (David Carlin), is another political hack. He already had at least one big political paycheck in DuPage County - and his connections to Pat Brady and Kirk Dillard made him valuable to Walsh. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Insiders think they now have instant credibility with all those Tea Party supporters through Walsh. Nothing could be further from the truth because the Tea Party Leaders are in the dark about the deal Walsh has cut with the IRP. Now you know why David Carlin is Walsh's District Director.
By the way, Walsh lent $28,500 - (supposedly his own money) to his campaign in 2010. You can verify this by looking at the FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings. So how did Walsh do that? Where did all that cash come from?
Walsh is broke. He wasn't even paying his bills. Walsh lost his expensive Evanston Condominium to Foreclosure just a year earlier. His highest ever income was once $35,000 for a single year. Walsh also has a few kids attending some very expensive Universities. So who's paying for that? Where is all this money coming from? Be prepared for more money stories from this clown.
One last item, if you look at any of his FEC filings, you will see what cash was raised, what bills were paid, and how much debt was still outstanding at the end of each Quarter. But if you flowchart the Walsh cash flow, it doesn't add up.
At the end of 2010, Walsh claimed he still had almost $400,000 in debts. And for the 1st Quarter of 2011, he raised almost $400,000 and spent about $100,000 including paying himself back on some personal loans to the campaign, but he also decided to skip out on almost all of the $400,000 in debt he had at the end of 2010. He is now disputing almost all of it.

There's more coming about this guy.
I just found out that there are several years of his driving record that are now sealed. I never knew that was even possible.
And another thing, his ex-wife sent him a demand letter - (legal talk for "you owe me money and I'm going to sue you if you don't pay"). Those divorce records have also been sealed. Is this unreal?
And regarding David Carlin being hired as Walsh's 8th District Director, the word in the party is that the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) gets regular reports on what Walsh is up to (from Carlin). In other words, he's a babysitter and a spy. He's not a Tea Party guy or a supporter, and judging at how bad the communication is within the District office, he's not much of an administrator either. In return, Walsh accepted the promise of money to help paydown the $400,000.00 in debts and legal bills that piled up at the end of his campaign. Now you know the rest of the sage over Walsh's District office.
By the way, has anybody learned anything about how Walsh lent his campaign $28,500? For the disbelieving Tea Party faithful, you can verify this by looking at the FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings. So how did Walsh do that? Where did all that cash come from?
Walsh is still broke. Walsh lost his expensive Evanston Condominium to Foreclosure just a year earlier. He once made over $35,000 in a single year and his kids attend some very expensive Universities. So who's paying for that? Where is all this money coming from?
I think Walsh will land in jail before all this is over.
