Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh sued for $100,000 in child support
http://www.suntimes.com/mobile/6720892-463/tea-party-rep.-joe-walsh-sued-for-100000-in-child-support

Freshman U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, a tax-bashing Tea Party champion who sharply lectures President Barack Obama and other Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes more than $100,000 in child support to his ex-wife and three children, according to documents his ex-wife filed in their divorce case in December.

“I won’t place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we structurally reform the way this town spends money!” Walsh says directly into the camera in his viral video lecturing Obama on the need to get the nation’s finances in order.

Walsh starts the video by saying, “President Obama, quit lying. Have you no shame, sir? In three short years, you’ve bankrupted this country.”

In court documents, after his ex-wife asked a judge to suspend his driver’s license until he paid his child support, Walsh asks his ex-wife: “Have you no decency?”

4. Apparently he thinks taking care of his children is socialism.
In the words of Val Kilmer in Tombstone, "It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds."

5. It's not his fault he had to spend it all on his teeth.


I'm sure he was neglected as a child. There's no other way someone could be so angry as an adult.

7. So his bottom line is greed, selfishness and irresponsibility.
Color me not shocked in the least. If I were his ex, I'd be right behind him at every scheduled appearance granting an interview about his delinquent ass.

9. Child support is now an "entitlement"
to the Tea Baggers. I guess those kids ought to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and collect aluminum cans to support themselves. The article is unbelievable. He refused to pay for medical care, and a suit for his son's Homecoming, claiming he was broke, while vacationing in Mexico.

12. Filthy, sub-human piece of dog shit
Liar, hypocrite, and not long for the world once we finally start to fight back. Why don't for once one of our Dems make a video calling this guy a lying, despicable animal who should be in federal prison keeping house for Drover instead of collecting a federal salary?

God, I hate the Dems' wimpiness almost as much as I hate these sleazy Nazis.

19. Unfortunately for me, Walsh is my representative
I don't know how he got elected, unless there were many disgruntled misogynists who hated our former female moderate-Democratic representative.

(And yes, I have emailed and called his office about several issues, but I don't think anyone there is listening.)

23. Deepest sympathy.
Maybe call his office and ask how he dares lecture others on his children's future when HE is the one jeopardizing it most?

Won't do any actual good, but might make you feel better. ;)
