(56,828 posts)just a trump hating conservative who understands that Trump is bad for America and the world. He'll still in love with the 2nd Amendment.

(47,393 posts)He couldn't make a living doing much of anything, so he tried politics. The republican party is full of his type, using politics for self promotion.
We tend to see a bunch of them during republican presidential primaries as well. Herman Cain, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Gary Johnson - They get a lot of exposure so they can go on the lecture circuit, write books, get a tv/radio gig, etc. Of course, there was the ultimate publicity hound, Donald Trump, but he ended up president in spite of himself.

(1,156 posts)The You lie! Joe from Obamas healthcare speech was and still is the undistinguished gentleman from South Carolina, Joe Wilson (not the Valerie Plame Joe Wilson!) who is obviously a piece of work in his own right.
This non-musical Joe Walsh is a one term t bagger who said among other things that Obama was elected because hes an articulate black man, and that birth control is not about women. He was honored by the Family Research Council for his unwavering support of the family at a time when he owed over $100k in back child support.
After his one term I thought hed crawled off to do talk radio or lobby or whatever. Whatever scam pays the best. No idea how much child support he owes now.
