Congressman Walsh Signs Pledge to Cut, Cap and Balance the Budget

Congressman Walsh statement on support of massive cuts in Agriculture Appropriations Bill

Congressman Walsh reacts to RSC letter urging leadership to passBalanced Budget Amendment, part of debt ceiling strategy

Rep. Walsh releases statement why he did not attend President Obama's debt ceiling meeting at the White House yesterday

Here's a quote from that last one:

"The entire meeting yesterday was a political exercise with the goal of showing the media and the country that his President is doing something. I had no interest in being part of such a stunt. I'd rather actually do something."

SO...all things considered, I think he qualifies.

Hank, thank you for identifying the Republican in your midst (Congressman Joe Walsh). Nice to know that there might be a conservative pulse in the ‘almost ready to go bankrupt’ state of Illinois. How is this possible? How the hell did a guy like him get elected in the land of Rham and Obama? Is the state of Illinois redeemable or are you all merely subjects of the Chicago mob? Excuse me if I don’t ‘kiss the ring’.
