A pro-Democratic group is using video cuts of the loud, politically incorrect Tea Partier Joe Walsh to turn up the volume against Republicans in three key Chicago-area races, including the 10th Congressional District.

Walshs bluster is the centerpiece of a new spot, which is part of a $2.4 million ad buy attacking the congressman, and two other Republicans U.S. Reps. Robert Dold in the 10th District and Judy Biggert in the 11th who are targeted by Democrats.

Dont blame banks! I am tired of hearing that crap! Walsh is seen imploring on a video of him talking to district residents.

In another clip hes shown saying: I want America to pay for my contraceptives. Youre kidding me. Go get a job!

Clearly viewing Illinois as fertile ground to win over congressional seats, the House Majority PAC, which aims to put Democrats back into the lead in Washington, on Tuesday disclosed it had pumped $2.4 million into the three key Chicago-area races including U.S. House races in the 6th, 10th and 11th congressional districts.

One video, entitled Loud links Walsh to Dold and Judy Biggert, both of whom are incumbents. While Walsh is a Tea Partier through and through, both Dold and Biggert are far more moderate.

Still, the ad, which, according to the House Majority PAC, will run in heavy rotation for two weeks, works to link the three as equally out of step but only plays video snippets of Walsh talking.
