Time and time again, Joe Walsh has been caught lying to the media and lying to his constituents. On one hand he says he does not represent his district and then when the camera is on him, he spouts off Tea Party Talking Points for which have little validity. Now he is spouting to the media that we.... his constituents want him to support a government shut-down.
Well Joe the moderate and progressive voters of your district have this to say:
NO WE DONT'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We do agree with you in that we do have a fiscal mess. However these fiscal challenges didn't occur in the last two years, four years or even ten years. This fiscal train wreck started with a very flawed "trickle down" economic theory that started over 25 years ago.
We don't have a deficit problem, we have a revenue problem!
The traffic on our blog is really picking up, so while you may choose not to leave comments, we thank you for stopping by and encourage you to call or FAX Congressman Walsh

Thanks for the update. I called him earlier today.
A revenue problem? Oh so typical of a progressive.
We have a SPENDING problem, not a revenue problem.
I am no Walsh fan, but this blog is way off.
A revenue problem......that is the attitude that got us here in the first place.
Thank goodness the "progressive voters" in our district are out in blog-siberia where they belong.
Excuse me...a revenue problem is how we got here?
What school of economics did you go to?
Yes...we do have a spending problem but that didn't start two years ago! But we have to also have revenue problem and more taxes need to be collected.
It is going to take effort by both sides of the aisle to get this issue address. There is no room for ideology of "my way or the highway"
If it weren't for progressives, we wouldn't have a class system in this country, we would have a cast system. The haves and the have nots and the majority of the country would be "have-nots"
When I say "revenue problem....."
I was merely quoting your post for effect.
We have a spending problem. You stated we have a revenue problem in your neo-progressive blog spout.
I went to the school of I earn my own money and know how to spend it without some yahoo spending it for me - like you or Joe Walsh.
If you are so interested in "cross-aisle" efforts, how come this blog is titled "eye on Joe Walsh?" And you call yourself LC Truth?
You even bashed him (and again, I am no Joe Walsh fan, can't believe he won) for voting down the 1099 reporting debacle in the Health Care plan, accusing him of not supporting transparency or someting to that nature. That provision would cost small business BILLIONS of dollars. The Budget office even came out and said it would COST the Feds MORE to administer it than what the best case scenario of capturing revenue with it could ever be. Progressiveness at it's best, with the head progressively marching up the ass.
If you really understood what that provision meant, you would understand why it had to go. It sounds like you may be smart enough to understand it therefore I can only assume you are simply here to spew your progressive crap and you really don't give a rip about the problems this country is facing.
You can't handle the Truth my friend, in LC or any where else.
But keep that heart of yours progressive and bleeding, I'm sure it will take you far.
Hey,
It's not a revenue problem. It's a truth issue. Is Walsh a liar? Yes.
More on 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?

I think Walsh will land in jail before all this is over.
