I would think that a mother would find this type of behavior from Rep. Walsh to be despicable.
But since he is a tea party member it's ok.
I have no children. You know what they say about people who make assumptions, right? Even if I did, I would want to see the facts before judging anyone a deadbeat dad. I know a man who has an ex wife who was is a gambler and alcoholic. The father, who stopped giving the money to the mother, at the children's request (15 and 16 years old) would give the money directly to the children. She took him to court after the kids were 18 and sued him for back child support. The children testified on his behalf but he had no receipts. He has his wages garnished for back child support even though the children are out of the home. She is gambling and drinking his money away.

Ok, sure, some moms are flakes. But that is a bit of a stretch.
My dad did it to my mom, and it was not cool. He was a democrat at the time. In fact, his whole working life (he is a retired school teacher, and suddenly a Tea Partier, go figure). Pimping out on child support is a big deal in my book. And that is a bipartisan view. And lying about it, isn't very flattering either. And I would say the same about a democrat.
For what it is worth, I don't think Clinton should have been impeached for his asinine behavior, but I would never have voted for him again. I think honoring your marriage and family is a big, big deal. And I am an semi-agnostic liberal.
"Yet, even if Walsh owes just $10,000 in unpaid child support, he could face the added headache of House Ethics Committee scrutiny.
"Rep. Walsh is required both by law and by congressional ethics rules to list debts in excess of $10,000 on his financial disclosure forms, including child support back payments," said Public Citizen's Craig Holman. "
good looking out Savoir Faire on the post.....the TeaQueda patriot Joe Walsh, who was just saying last month about how the country was going to send his kids and grandkids in debt, wont even pay his child support......Im suprised he hasnt been put in jail for owing so much

So you are willing to judge the man guilty without all the facts? How very liberal and tolerant of you. I smell hypocrisy.
If true, this irresponsible behavior is not only unacceptable, it's criminal and he should resign his seat.
Right now, it's a he said she said and nothing more.
The funny part is the lengths liberals are going to dig up dirt on their opponents. With no accomplishments to run on in 2012, I can almost taste the desperation in the air. What a hoot!
New tea party slogan "I want my child support back"
Thoughts?
Grover Norquist will proclaim that child support is a form of taxation and thus has to be eliminated so that "job creators" can hold on to their wealth?
Walsh as a former rock star and party animal probably snorted his money away, and I'll give him a pass because of his guitar playing skills.
