Late Breaking: Teabagger Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh Owes $100,000 In Back Child Support.....

[global1]

claims his wife. Details in tomorrows Chicago Sun-Times. Just announced on the NBC Channel 5 News in Chicago.

[grasswire]

1. how did he get away without enforcement coming after him?

That's a huge amount of back support.

[MadMaddie]

98. Well there is the obvious

Just saying, the justice system gives guys like this more than one chance.

I have always figured this guy had skeletons in his closet...little did I know that he is a dick and doesn't pay his child support.

[City Lights]

2. K&R! eom

[Drale]

3. Joe Walsh is a typical tea bagger

I had one of his tea bagging followers throw a clip board at me because I refused to sign it.

[Maru Kitteh]

42. I would have pressed charges on that. nt

[Drale]

95. It didn't hit me,

I did call the police but by the time they got there, in typical tea bagger fashion, the guy had disappeared into the crowd in Millennium Park, here in Chicago.

[RedCloud]

I would have cold cocked that guy.

[Ruby the Liberal]

4. The party of "fiscal responsibility" strikes again.

LOL!

[Shandris]

20. He IS fiscally responsible!

He is fiscally responsible for screwing his own child out of $100,000! He's just trying to teach self-reliance!

:sarcasm:

[Raschel]

34. They can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, those darn kids!

[66 dmhlt]

60. “I won’t place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids ..."

Joe "Teabagging-Hypocrite" Walsh:

“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!”

[Po_d Mainiac]

73. Yup

He's stressed them out to the limit already with DTD living.

[Beavker]

102. He is.

He's keeping as much money for himself as he possibly can. No Taxes, No Child support, no fair wages for the pee ons that do the actual work in this country, just more money for "me, me, me, me. "

Very fiscally conservative!

[Beavker]

104. Or...

Sociopath...like so many of them really are.

5. Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh sued for $100,000 in child support

http://www.suntimes.com/6720892-417/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.

... 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?”

... In 2004, Laura Walsh complained in a motion that despite her ex-husband’s claims of poverty, he took a vacation to Mexico with his girlfriend and another to Italy. The following year, he complained in a court filing that his ex-wife mailed him a motion while she knew he was in Nicaragua doing charitable work with one of their children.

In her December filing, Laura Walsh’s attorneys wrote, “The apparent availability of large sums of money from either his employment, his family or his campaign has allowed him to live quite a comfortable lifestyle, while at the same time, due to his failure to pay child support or any of his share of the education costs or medical expenses, Laura and his children were denied any of these advantages.”

[blue neen]

22. "Have you no decency"? Isn't that rich?

Meanwhile:

"So she was surprised to read in his congressional campaign disclosures that he was earning enough money to loan his campaign $35,000."

“Joe personally loaned his campaign $35,000, which, given that he failed to make any child support payments to Laura because he ‘had no money’ is surprising,” Laura Walsh’s attorneys wrote in a motion filed in December seeking $117,437 in back child support and interest. “Joe has paid himself back at least $14,200 for the loans he gave himself.”

Typical teabagging, holier-than-thou, self-serving, sanctimonious, lying, right-wing HYPOCRITE.

[Volaris]

65. How the FUCK is this even possible...

What in hell was he spending his income on that he didn't pay child support???

GOD I want this motherfucker in handcuffs and perp-walked out of his Congressional Office...no Real Man punishes his kids just 'cause he's mad at their mom...FUCK this makes me see red...

See, THIS is why we have (at least) the IDEA of an impartial, bureaucratic Justice System, 'cause if this thing were all "State-of-Nature-ie" like they claim they really want, SOMEONE would just go get this asshole's blood as arrearage...and that doesn't do ANYONE one little bit of good, let alone his kids.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. WOW!!!! I am wondering, how long until he steps down?

And by the way he is one of the ring leaders.

[kestrel91316]

49. Surely you jest. He will neither apologize nor step down. IOKIYAR.

[nadinbrzezinski]

51. I forgot the sarcasm tag

Sorry

http://www.suntimes.com/6720892-417/tea-party-rep.-joe-walsh-sued-for-100000-in-child-support

Just this a.m. I was thinking Walsh is being too visible and shooting his mouth off. I wonder if something will bring him down just like Weiner was brought down. There it is!!!!!!!!!

[Muskypundit]

118. This is an actual crime. People dont leave office for actual crimes.

They only leave if *gasp* sex is involved in anything.

[rpannier]

131. and they're Democrats nt

9. Of course.

Absolutely of-fucking-course.

[bigwillq]

10. Resign and deal with your family and financial issues.

It's the right thing to do.

edit: If the claims are true. I did not click on the link above.

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. It is from court documents filed last December

I wonder why she sat on this for so long?

[bigwillq]

12. Maybe seeing if she can get more out of it.

I don't know. I didn't click the links above.

[csziggy]

31. Way down in this article it explains

Both sides in the Walsh case have been negotiating Walsh’s overdue child support since he filed his response in February.

“Out of respect for his being in Washington, we haven’t been pushing it. We have been trying to work out a settlement,” Coladarci said.

http://www.suntimes.com/6720892-417/tea-party-rep.-joe-walsh-sued-for-100000-in-child-support

It also says she's been trying to get him to pay up since 2002.

[fishwax]

91. 2002 -- that's a long time -- wish his irresponsibility had come out in the campaign

[Historic NY]

13. Is there a warrant out for him?

[gateley]

30. God - I'd love to see him arrested and cuffed and hauled away!

Let's start barraging whomever it is in Chicago who is in charge of enforcement. Anybody know?

[Raschel]

37. Does he still have his driver's license? Usually they suspend it if you don't pay.

[riverwalker]

38. think article says license was suspended

http://www.suntimes.com/6720892-417/tea-party-rep.-joe-walsh-sued-for-100000-in-child-support

[Raschel]

67. Oh, thanks. And he probably does have a driver.

double :puke: :puke:

[KansDem]

79. Oh, well, then...no driver's license; no voting!

Sorry, I didn't make the rules! :rofl:

[gateley]

44. It said something about his license being suspended, but maybe

in DC he's got a car and driver. :puke:

[SheilaT]

99. He might also be living

at that communal house other right-wingers are living in.

There's actually more than enough housing in DC that's within very easy walking distance of the Capitol. Taking cabs within the District doesn't cost much, either. I can't quite imagine someone like him taking the Metro.

[global1]

14. Another Shining Example Of - Wait For It.... Wait For It........

Hypocrisy. There it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bluenorthwest]

15. Wow. What a creep. Republicans are rotten to the core

Not just some, but all of them.

[patrice]

16. The poor kids! but oh my frakking god, does it get any better than this? These teabaggers just keep

giving and giving!

[snagglepuss]

17. K & R .nt

[southerncrone]

18. Teabagger/Repuke: "Do as I say, not as I do."

They believe all those "silly laws" are for all the "other" people, but don't apply to them.

[patrice]

24. By virtue of their "virtue", they are EXCEPTIONS. They are American Exceptionalists.

Hierarchical thinkers usually think they rank pretty high in whatever hierarchy they ASSUME to be true. BTW, ASSUMING is another privilege of one's rank in their hierarchies.

[BattyDem]

19. So ... not paying their debts is a way of life for them.

No wonder they don't care about a default!

[flamingdem]

21. Oh baby, his 15 minutes of fame is officially OVER! nt

[Historic NY]

23. here is a link he owes $117,437

http://www.suntimes.com/mobile/6720892-463/tea-party-rep.-joe-walsh-sued-for-100000-in-child-support


owes his ex-wife and kids but lives with a new wife & kids.

[gateley]

25. I hope this gets LOTS of relentless coverage! Let's see how

eager he is to get in front of a camera now. Obama's a liar? You're a cheat and dead-beat father, you pig.

[bluestateguy]

26. Disgusting

I have zero tolerance for deadbeat Dad's. That's like the least manly thing you can possibly do is to abdicate your responsibility as a father.

Conservatives may want to think about that as one reason why so many abortions occur in the US.

[rocktivity]

27. ...I know where you're going

I don't think you're acting right
You don't think it's showing

Jumping up, falling down,
don't misunderstand me
You don't think I know your plan?
What you trying to hand me?

...I know what you're doing
If you're gonna act that way
I think there's trouble brewing

28. wow -- surprise, surprise!

:rofl: :grr:

[xmas74]

29. Makes me sick

Who the hell does he think he is? How is this financially responsible? How is this morally responsible?

Lock his ass up and freeze all his assets.

[gateley]

32. I hope Jon Stewart and Colbert cover this tomorrow - the clilps

will be shown on all the news shows!

[Raschel]

33. Phonies and hypocrites, the lot of them.

[gateley]

35. Ha! I Googled "Joe Walsh Child Support" and the top four returns

were two Chi Sun Times, two DUers are always first on the scene! :headbang:

[AnnieBW]

36. But he won't resign

IOKIYAR.

[Snarkoleptic]

39. Here's some fun stuff from his website and wiki...

As a deadbeat dad he doesn't know charity begins at home....
He raised nearly $1 million in the past five years for the Fabretto Children's Foundation, an international charity which uses education and micro-enterprise to deliver Nicaraguan children from poverty.<6>

Rife with hypocrisy in this statement...
Only those parents with financial means can really decide where they send their kids to school. Many underprivileged families are forced to send their kids to consistently failing public schools.

Strong "famliy values" statement for a guy whose children are wreckage in his wake...
Finally, I’m a strong supporter of traditional marriage and believe that a marriage can only exist between one man and one woman.

Wonder if he's going to hold true to #6 in his list of pledges...
I will always be accessible to my constituents and hold town halls on a regular basis, in good times or bad

Surprise Indeed!! Here's an oddly prophetic tweet he shit out in December...
"Surprise Representative Plans Surprises of His Own in Washington"

[classof56]

66. I was wonderin' if he was one o'them family values types

Now I know. Hope this comes out in every way possible, but I'm guessing he'll be greeted by cheers from his fellow republicons when it goes public.

:eyes:

[tritsofme]

40. He won't resign. His district was eliminated and his reelection aleeady impossible

This guy will stick around to the bitter end.

[Maru Kitteh]

41. I hope his ex follows him goes on a publicity tour to expose his selfish ass.

How very typical of a deadbeat! Mine, mine, mine, me, me, me, ME!

[Snarkoleptic]

43. Here's a bit of irony from one of his campaign ads.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIN4XCFRk6A

"...placing an unforgivable debt on our kids and our grandkids."

Typical republiClown!

[treestar]

45. Oh those Republicans

And their family values. :rofl:

[Incitatus]

46. He's going to have to sell a lot of pirated software to make that kind of money. nt

[AzDar]

47. He is loathsome... he was just on Tweety shouting over everyone about

"getting our financial house in order"

Hypocritical douche-nozzle.

[madamesilverspurs]

48. Wonder what would happen

if someone surveyed the state legislatures to discover how many of their members were/are deadbeats. It might explain why the laws regarding child support are so weakly enforsed. Underfunding the enforcement mechanisms effectively makes the laws worthless, a bit like buying toothless dobermans to guard your property.

Any parent who would stiff his own children would have no qualms about stiffing the country.


-

[DebJ]

50. He does have Republican Family Values: he didn't pay for

abortions. And we all know how much the Republican Party supports actually feeding, clothing, educating, and giving medical care to children after they are born. No need to be a TeaBagger; an ordinary Repub will do!

[EC]

81. According to the article he doesn't pay his bills period.

He's just another deadbeat...he chooses not to pay even when he can.

[Obamanaut]

52. nt

[rucky]

53. Can we officially call them the Deadbeat Party?

[Evasporque]

56. Deadbat Party...lol

[malaise]

54. K & R

BYe Bye Joe - ReTHUGS will eat you this time.

[Evasporque]

55. Tea Party: Fiscal Responsibility = Keep the Money

Big difference between fiscal responsibility and fiscal OBLIGATION.

[Jawja]

57. Ok, here we go....

Teabaggers will now be brought down off their high horse because they are gumming up the works... how dare they go to Congress and not follow orders...

[klook]

58. "a nine-year child support battle"

So this deadbeat dad racked up $117k in back child support + interest. What a model teabagger -- just doesn't like the gubmint telling him what to do...for example, pay for the well-being of his own children.

[mopinko]

59. well, he hit his debt ceiling. what else could he do?

just because he ran up those debt doesn't mean he has to pay them off. he got an ultimatum from his ex-wife, and damn if he is going to break under pressure.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

61. It's not a good time to be a Teabagger on the Hill.

They've become an expendable and unpleasant inconvenience.

[Hepburn]

62. Whadda shock....not.

Figures that he divorced his wife AND the children.

[sinkingfeeling]

63. How does that happen? My son had his federal income tax refund withheld ($700) for a lousy

$46 in unpaid child support.

[JJ]

83. Not likely

They only withhold federal if the arrearage is over $1000.

[sinkingfeeling]

Not true. It was all withheld and later all but $46 was turned over to them.

[sinkingfeeling]

88. Not true. It was all withheld and later all but $46 was turned over to them.

[SheilaT]

103. I'm under the vague impression

that such things are subject to state law. Some states go harder after deadbeats than others.

I'm divorced in the state of Kansas, and my spousal support comes to me through the Kansas Payment Center for Child Support. If my ex doesn't send them the money in a timely manner they will immediately slap a contempt of court thing on him. It happened once, at the very beginning. And, because at the very beginning, he was sending me checks directly, prior to the divorce becoming final, once it did become final they had me assure them that I had actually received said payments.

State laws about these things vary considerably, that I know.

[myrna minx]

64. K&R - the hypocrisy is astounding.

[ArcticFox]

68. Is he on drugs? Test him. Dock his pay.

[grahamhgreen]

69. I wonder if his kids receive ANY government assistance, at all....?

[russspeakeasy]

70. Can someone tell me what the law is on deadbeat dads in Illinois ??

he was just on cnn (little fox) saying that it's very interesting that this "personal problem should appear just when he is fighting the Obama spending disaster".. PERP WALK !!

[October]

71. My father did this - may have pioneered it

He is NOW a total right-wing nut job. Total.

After my birth, he moved 3,000 miles away and changed his social security number or whatever. Never communicated, never sent a birthday card. Nothing, nada, zip. I met him because I sought him out when I became a teen.

Ugh. Big disappointment. Total chauvinist.

While denying my existence his whole life (and mine), he apparently used right wing talking points -- i.e. blaming the system, his ex, courts, etc., in order to gain sympathy for HIMSELF.

Anyway -- he came to visit last summer to meet my children. What a fail. He managed to reveal his misogyny, prejudice, and ignorance in the first 10 minutes of his visit. My children were appalled. The only plus side was that he was a nervous wreck whilst in our home, as we quietly let him go on and on, exposing his true ugliness. He couldn't get away fast enough he was so uncomfortable in his own skin.

I tried so hard to make him welcome -- to try to understand -- to find his humanity. I know he's injured, but...so was I. He chose the dark side.

[renate]

78. I'm sorry

It's sad for everyone concerned. You were so incredibly kind to try to make him feel welcome after what he did to you, and how compassionate you are to realize that he was also injured. Considering that you were completely blameless and he's the one who cut all ties, you were far more forgiving and generous of spirit than he could ever have expected. And maybe that's what threw him off... maybe he just didn't know how to relate to that level of kindness. Or maybe that's not it at all. Anyway... :hug:

[SheilaT]

105. What an interesting way to put it.

"He didn't know how to relate to that level of kindness." You are making me totally re-think these right-wingers and their obvious selfishness and over-developed sense of entitlement. Maybe instead of simply being selfish monsters, they are damaged in ways that causes them to behave like that.

I do believe that in the end we are all responsible for our actions, but you're making me re-consider some things. Thank you.

[Zookeeper]

137. Renate made a good point, as did you. It also makes me...

wonder if some of the RWers nastiness is due to feeling defensive because what they are embracing is opposed to any altruism they may have been exposed to in their formative years, whether through religion or societal expectation.

That said, it must have been very disappointing for you. :hug:

[October]

125. Thank you...

I didn't mean to go on so much about a personal issue. I was just reminded by the story headline. It was difficult enough, emotionally, to not have a father -- and not having proper financial support was beyond the pale. To me, that was the least (!) he could have done.

I am still kind to my father because it is my nature.

His right-wing mentality is difficult, but I'm polite -- and my children know I'm a total liberal and found his comments to be jaw-dropping. I do think he has a personality disorder of some sort.

Thanks for listening and discussing.

[sixmile]

107. He sounds like a irresponsible asshole

Pardon, but that's what your story makes him sound like.
Unfortunately the world is full of 'em.

[October]

126. I understand

What he did (and continues to do) is something I will never understand.

I've tried... and to a point, I accept it. Yet, there was damage. Ignorance and not even TRYING is not a good excuse.

[Jakes Progress]

72. Family values: republican style.

[Fuddnik]

74. He wants his wife to cut spending and get another job.

Can't expect these hand-outs to last forever!

Live within your means kids! Child labor laws will be repealed soon!

Get a job, deadbeat kids!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[cbdo2007]

75. Maybe he should finally sell his Maseratti.

"My Maseratti does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I dont drive"
hahaha

[Peregrine Took]

76. Can you believe his "chootzpah" in going on the "Early Show Today?"

I think he wants to be the next Glenn Beck as he is all over the boob tube lately.

This dude is seriously strange.

[EC]

77. So he was broke and couldn't pay child support

but could come up with the cash to loan his campaign $35,000. - maybe the investigation of this will find out who gave him the money to pay his own campaign. I've long suspected these repubs that loan their campaign money from "their accounts" come from some other place like repub PACS. The guy here in Kenosha running against Wirch in the recall came up with $30,000. of "his own money" for his campaign too. And how about Alvin Green running as a dem, unemployed and broke somehow had the $10,000. to run? I still think he was a fake put in by DeMint.

On edit: I just finished reading the article in sun-times, he's another grifter who ditches his bills and moves on. He was districted out of his district and will have to move and run in another district to keep this job. So he's done and that's why he's acting so outrageous.


HE'S ANOTHER REPUB GRIFTER....

[femrap]

80. A bagger never takes

responsibility for his actions....it's always someone else's fault.

Throw the asshole in jail!

[hifiguy]

82. Another walking turd

is outed for being same. Repuke hypocrisy has gotten to the point where it can't even be satirized anymore. :crazy:

[ProfessorGAC]

84. Slimeball

Party of fiscal responsibility? No. Party of the bouncing check.
GAC

[quakerboy]

85. Whatever. Youth and women are Libruls. They don't deserve no stinkin money from

a good self made conservative man just tryin to get along in this crazy world

[perdita9]

86. Is this guy against abortion?

Then that's pretty rich, refusing to support his living children. What a creep!

[jwirr]

87. Some asked here why it could get so high. If she was not on welfare

with the children then no one automatically goes after him. The agency that goes after deadbeats will do it but she has to especially ask them to and may even have to pay them. That part of Social Services was created mainly to chase people who are letting the taxpayer take care of their children. In a way that is discrimination - he is rich and his ex is able to take care of the children herself so he gets by with ignoring the courts while the poorer family have no alternatives. I am not complaining - years ago I lobbied to get them to chase deadbeats be they dads or moms. No one should be allowed to walk out on their children.

[MilesColtrane]

89. What a shitbag.

Walsh, you need to just walk away from the hill and do the right thing by your kids.

[Firebrand Gary]

90. Dead beat dad and a dead beet politician.......

[demmiblue]

92. K&R

:kick:

[hedgehog]

93. His response on his web site:

"It is not lost on me that a court case filed almost 8 months ago regarding a marriage that ended more than 8 years ago would be brought up today. We are 72 hours away from one of the biggest decisions our country has to make about its financial future. I understand why this is a story and why the media has to ask me about it. I understood as a candidate, and I understand as a sitting member of Congress that the scrutiny of my personal life will be intense. This is a tough business. It's also not lost on me that not everyone agrees with me politically, I am the tip of the spear in this current debate, and I will be attacked."

http://walsh.house.gov/

"I am the tip of the spear"


First time I've hard it referred to as that.

[global1]

96. A Dem Congressman Would Have Been Apologizing And Would Have.......

resigned by now. These Repugs/Teabaggers have no shame, no morals and no scruples.

[SheilaT]

106. Wow, not a word about his actual responsibility

to those children of his.

[City Lights]

113. I wrote him this morning and told him he should resign.

I told him he was a hypocrite, a liar, and a disgrace to his district.

[drm604]

94. I guess that much is over his debt limit.

And no self respecting teabagger would increase his debt limit.

[Oldtimeralso]

97. Joe Walsh says "So What".

Wait a minute, wrong Joe Walsh.

Sorry!

:headbang: :rofl: :crazy:

[pleah]

Send a cop to the floor of the House to arrest his sorry ass.

[grahamhgreen]

108. PHOTO!

The new embodiment of “those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) He’s called President Obama a liar on the debt-ceiling issue. In that now infamous YouTube video, Walsh hectors the president. “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!” he said. Or should I say “he said rhetorically”? - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/rep-joe-walsh-tea-party-glass-house-owes-child-support/2011/03/04/gIQA92xGfI_blog.html

[demwing]

109. OK, If Weiner had to resign, this fucker has to go NOW!

Sorry assed, holier-than-thou, "Family Vaues" lying, low down sonofabitch!!! Where's my god damned Tylenol?

[Hubert Flottz]

112. He will not go anywhere because he's a republican...

laws don't apply to republicans.

Edit...guys like him, want YOUR tax dollars to support his x wife and children.

[Critters2]

110. Excellent. nt

[Zookeeper]

111. But, child support is kinda like taxes, ya know. It's HIS money!

Why should he have to help anyone else? She shoulda used birth control! The kids can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get jobs!

Why do you hate America?

:sarcasm:

[caseymoz]

115. Why should he be required to give anything to those less fortunate?

And isn't an abandoned child, almost by definition, less fortunate? Are they not dependent on the help of others? What parasites!

[caseymoz]

114. Scumbagger. nt

[grantcart]

116. I wonder what the 6,000 Green Party voters that made the difference

in sending this scumbag to Congress think about their vote now.








2010 U.S. House of Representatives election in Illinois' 8th District<28>



Party Candidate Votes Percentage




Republican Joe Walsh √ 98,115 48.5%

Democratic Melissa Bean 97,824 48.3%

Green Bill Scheurer 6,494 3.2%

[madrchsod]

117. i`d say so...

if he goes then randi h in the 14th will run unopposed in the new district primary next year.

[Nickster]

129. As much as I hated Bean, I held my nose and voted for her, but I wonder what would have happened

if she hadn't been a weak willed Blue Dog? Would those 6k votes have really mattered?

[louslobbs]

119. Just another do as I say don't do as I do hypocrite Republican. This bastard has no idea how his

children suffer because of his irresponsibility. I was a child of a father who disappeared when I was 10 years old and he never sent a dime to my mother ever. We went on welfare and food stamps and fingers were pointed at me in school as one of the poor who was on the list to get free lunch at my school because my mother couldn't afford it. It was degrading and embarrassing and to this very day can still bring up sad stories and anger in my head when I see others suffering from the same. Joe Walsh should be shamed for the dirt bag hypocrite that he is and in addition, should resign or be forced to resign from Congress. Why does Joe Walsh hate his own children? I'm sorry, this really hits home for me, and unfortunately, this guy is just representative of most Teabagger Republicans and their home team, the Terrorist Republicans. Pay your child support you dirty piece of shit bastard or go to jail, or don't the laws apply to people who call themselves Congresspigs, like they apply to the rest of us?

133. He'll get to serve out his term yet Anthony Weiner had to leave over stupid personal stuff?

What is wrong with this country and its media? The media should be putting this Joe Walsh (not the Eagles guitarist) on blast because what he's doing HARMS HIS OWN DAMN KIDS, what Anthony Weiner did affects himself and his relationship with his wife but wasn't necessarily as harmful as evading child support.

123. Not a peep on the FReep (Free Republic)

Not a post, not a peeper, in denial, your average FReeper.

136. Because most of the Freepers believe men are oppressed...

by their ex-wives and rugrats "expecting" any support.

Of course, this is in addition to being oppressed by the Feminazis and reverse discrimination against White Males.

And having to pay taxes, when they could buy themselves a new mudding truck.

this clown makes me sick.

134. His church should excommunicate him and he should be shamed.

But John Boehner will never call for an ethics investigation of this greedy hateful man, and the House committees will probably stand with him too. This makes the Joe Walsh who plays guitar for the Eagles look bad.

135. He would have been arrested a long time ago here in Michigan.
