8. There's one place any other deadbeat dad would go after that...
JAIL! Not showing up in court would be enough to get anyone else arrested.

25. I get it.
The guitar player from The James Gang should sue for defamation and force him to change his name.

4. What a wanker
I was just waiting for him to say that this was a bill to cut funding for food stamps or school lunches or something like that. I guess if it had been he would have said so...

6. I'd like to know the demographic makeup of his district in Illinois. Are they all
bone stupid? How did he ever get elected?

I think this country is on a suicide mission. We are governed(sic) by the worst slime to be found anywhere...guys in diapers and infantile brats who don't even care if their own district gets hurricane disaster aid until even MORE of what's left of our social safety net is looted.

And then this: Joe Walsh prattling about "family values" while he pays his own campaign fund $35,000. (Google it), and is HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS behind on his child support.

How can anyone with a law license abase themselves to stand before a court and defend this a-hole??

We are all doomed by the lunacy that has taken over this country. :puke:

9. Oh... he's a Congressman
Little story- A couple of months ago a local plumber replaced my water filtration system and left behind the removed tanks he had contracted to dispose of along with an old hand-truck. After calling him almost daily and getting no response, I finally talked to his father, who has a well drilling business in the community. Guess what?... his son is in county lock-up for non payment of child support. Moral of the story: It's better to be a Congressman than a plumber.
The End
:grr:

16. I know his pay is being garnished, but I am sure he has other
funds. Why are they not being taken and why is he out running around? Is there no legal means to do this?

12. He absolutely went to town on this last night ...
he has been dogging Wilson on this REALLY hard since it broke, but he was flaming hot on this last night.

Again, if this was a D, the Rs would be PUMMELING him, and the "liberal media" would have driven him out of office by now.

17. If the "liberal media" didn't drive him (fictitious)
out of office, the other (D)'s would have IF he championed Progressive (used to be Democratic) causes for his constituents. Ask Anthony Wiener. He was a Populist, Progressive Congressman who sexted. His party turned on him

like a pack of vultures. his constituents did not, they appreciated the great job he did by actually representing them, not corporations. The large number of (R) politicians (comparatively), who have done MUCH worse

and never even sanctioned (let alone forced from office) pales in comparison.

Re-elect Obama despite his rethug politics = party first. Having (D) politicians leave alone a great representative of the majority of his constituents = we are now (R)'s as long as he is a real Democrat.

What a sickening bunch of hypocrites. From the President on down, they threw him under the bus repeatedly. Nowadays, anytime an (R) or one of their organizations makes an allegation about anyone who resembles an FDR Democrat

almost ALL of the democratic(?) politicians call for their heads. Often the "charge" is proven to be false or manipulated. It doesn't change anything. "They" want all (R)'s in politics, no matter the letter behind their name and

they get it.

18. Generally agree ...
not sure it ties quite as closely to being a liberal lion for the Ds to put the knives to someone based on that in part.

But, yeah, the more left someone is, the more they are going to get targeted.

Weiner - I am not moralist and had no interest in running him off. And, what he did was not as "bad" as the countless Rs who are stepping out on spouses or who run/govern on being anti-gay while themselves are living a gay lifestyle.

BUT, there was a REALLY big creep factor with what Weiner did. Hard to maintain a position in the public eye with that he did. Again, I was in hurry to run him off, but hard for anyone to have their constituency see you trying to defend it.

13. Thanks, Lawrence, but you see Walsh is a prime example of a conservanazi.
No morals, yet wants to impose his ideas of morals on others. No ethic, yet wants to impose his view of ethics on others. Finally, a dead-beat POS sperm donor who probably claims "family values" while screwing his out of support.

I've seen that many, many times in Wisconsin from many conservanazis..

Call them what they are: champion pieces of sh!t.

26. Lawrence is right!
anytime a show has that asshole Walsh on, I mute the volume until he's no longer speaking. I've seen him enough to know he doesn't have anything of value to say! So why listen to his BS?
