Oh I know! Let's see, this guy is a tea partier and owes money in child support. Therefore, all tea party reps are unhinged dysfunctional people! Did I get it right?

Hey, we all screw up....and leave our children in the lurch.......

Sounds like this guy should have taken a chastity pledge.

The constant bashing of the Tea Party is coming across as desperately terrified. I like it! Please carry on. You should ask for a stipend.

Is that what the tea party calls fiscal responsibility?

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.
