Congressman Joe Walsh speaks at Friday night's WGN debate as challenger Tammy Duckworth waits her turn.
Here’s the YouTube video of the debate between Congressman Joe Walsh and Democratic Party Tammy Duckworth:
Here’s the press release from the Joe Walsh campaign:
You are not a “crackpot” for believing in fiscal responsibility
Tonight’s debate between Congressman Joe Walsh and Tammy Duckworth featured a clear-cut difference between the two candidates.
Joe continued to stand for lowering taxes, term limits, balancing our budget, and saving our safety nets.
His opponent suggested those notions and the many people like you who believe in them are a “crackpot”.
As expected, Tammy never left her insider-Democrat talking points, but she resorted to the low personal attack of calling believers, like you, in fiscal responsibility “crackpots”.
The Congressman immediately challenged her claim that you are a “crackpot” for believing in those principles.
Walsh also continued to stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and economic growth throughout the entire debate.
It is critical that we send a message to Tammy Duckworth that “regular people” in the 8th District are not “crackpots” for wanting to renew our country’s greatness and its promise.

Thank you,
-Walsh for Congress Team
We are not crackpots for wanting to limit government.

Don’t believe the liberal media, last election their “polls” suggested that Melissa Bean would crush Joe Walsh, didn’t happen and now Joe is one of the leading freshman Republican Congressmen.
Lots of media hype about Duckworth, same as last time when she got beat by conservative Republican Congressman Peter Roskam.
Elect Duckworth and you have another big spender, re-elect Joe Walsh and you have a strong conservative representative.
Congressman Joe Walsh is doing exactly what he said he would.
I will be working hard for him in the 8th District and of course with Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
Illinois could take a lesson or two from their neighbors!
For the record, From March through September, nobody polled the 8th CD race.
No one even thought Walsh had a chance so why waste the money.
Then came the We Ask America poll that showed a statistical dead heat or Walsh up slightly depending on how you interpret the MOE.
In October Bean’s internal polls showed she was in deep trouble and she pumped out the negative mail that was so over the top it was like comic book material.
Too much negative too late in the race.
Walsh won this debate hands down.
Duckworth is still not ready for a congressional level race let alone against a debater like Walsh.
Her poor delivery of Big Government talking points won’t fool anyone in the 8th.
She got so carried away with the class warfare rhetoric she actually referred to rich people as Trillionaires, upping the ante from her earlier labels of millionaires and billionaires.
Let’s all pray Duckworth is stupid enough to agree to five more debates…
answer this you big CONSERVATIVES…
This week your famous Pual Ryan and Joe Walsh along with his buddies asked that a buget measure to require federal/postal employees to contribute 5% more of their salary toward their pensions without incresing the benifits!!!
in effect , a 5% pay cut.!!!
One thing I have noticed over the years repubs are never for the working class.
why don’t the congressman take a cut….ha ha good luck!
You go Tammy!!!
The idea that cutting taxes to the rich creates jobs is crackpot.
Still waiting for all those jobs from the Bush tax cuts while the middle and lower class lose ground.
This election will be a landslide for Tammy.
Goodbye Joe, you will never win another election.
No, advocating for fiscal responsibility does niot make you a crackpot.
Doing so while owing a hundred-thousand dolars in child support does.
Joe Walsh is a pathological liar, and a dead beat father.
He has continuously voted against the best interests of America in order to pander to his corporate base.
His violent tirades, and disrespect of the office of the president has been an embarrassment to Illinois.
If you want this incompetent loser to continue his pro-corporate, anti-society agenda, then you are promoting lower living standards in America in order to enrich his multinational corporate/republican base.
It looks like Tammy Duckworth’s campaign has found this site.
The last several posts obviously come from her supporters.
The ironic thing is Tammy is only famous for crashing a helicopter.
Had she been a more competent pilot we wouldn’t even know who she is.
The previous poster is not a veteran, but he is an ignorant hateful fool with NO respect for our wounded heroes.
