Rep. Joe Walsh, A Fighter From The Land Of Lincoln

When late last night after coming home from my weekly prayer group I had decided for a short time to go back onto my computer. Came upon a thread that was posted over at Free Republic of a YouTube video that was posted of what started out as supposed to have been an interview, turned out to have been an argument that lasted over ten minutes between USA House of Representatives Joe Walsh, (R/IL) and MSNBC’s “Hardball” show Chris Mathews. Give Rep. Walsh CREDIT for having the COURAGE to NOT ONLY STAND UP to Mr. Mathews, but to do some MUCH NEEDED EDUCATION on the issue of the USA federal budget debt, the debt ceiling, and the “cut, cap, and balance” vote.

Rep. Walsh was NOT GOING to take the verbal attacks lying down. He explained as much as time allowed what needed to be done. Mr. Mathews looked like during this argument more and more looking like he was getting ready to “cry uncle” when Rep. Walsh simply handed Mr. Mathews his rear-end. IMHO, what the GOP NEEDS is more fighters like Rep. Walsh. I sense if Abraham Lincoln was alive today, he would have would have smiled and given a standing ovation to Rep. Walsh.

Truly Rep. Walsh is a PROFILE IN COURAGE.

UPDATE:

More from Rep. Joe Walsh:

“Congressman Joe Walsh reviews where we are after the Cut, Cap and Balance Act passed the House of Representatives last night.

This is the only plan in existence that would prevent a downgrade of US Debt thus if President Obama vetoes it, he is voting to destroy our credit rating. This is equally true of the Senate if the Democrat majority refuses to be responsible and don’t pass a Bill that would avoid being downgraded. Default is only possible if President Obama choses to default, at which point is in violation of the 14th Amendment , Section 4 of the Constitution.”

Matthews favorite technique is to ask a long winded question..spouting all his talking points, then, after the guest says about 2-3 words..he interrupts him..most guests take it passively...they end up looking like idiots.

BTW, did you see the one the day before with Grover Norquist? He took Chriss down a few pegs also..

I can't understand how it took this long for someone on our side of the street take this weak gasbag on. Bachmann used to wind him up and she would poke him in the eye, but this guy gave him a shut down that he will feel for years. I bet a dollar that today's episode of the show will be a round table of the racist Eugine Robinson and the irrelevant Howard Fineman making up lies about this guy so they can make themselves feel better.

I’ve been very impressed with him. Too bad he isn’t from my district.

How refreshing to see this. And to think, he’s from the People’s Republic of Illinois, AKA the Land of Little Dick (to quote TGO).

Anyone who has not watched this interview should do so immediately. This guy gets rough with Chrissy.

The truth is that the term “LEAN FORWARD” also can be said about Chrisy Mathews bending forward after Rep. Walsh kicked his butt good!
