Put this anywhere you want Tinker.

Screeching famewhore Joe Walsh is a Tea Party congressman who is always thrilled to go on the teevee to blow snot about the fiscal irresponsibility of the Obama administration and not so much thrilled about the actual governing process. He is, like Michele Bachmann, mostly notable for being one of the loudest members of the zombie army of hillbilly barbie dolls elected by Teabaggers to perform the ignorant fantasies of disgruntled racist white constituents in front of cameras by yelling about the gubamint in half-baked sentences. He is, however, pretty light on actual legislative accomplishments (which means zero). So is it much surprise that Walsh is accused of serially avoiding paying child support to his ex-wife and three kids to the tune of $117,000? Well here is Joe’s problem with that, he just does not like people asking for a “social safety net.” It is time to reform dependent offspring entitlements!

From an investigation by the Chicago Sun-Times:

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

That's honestly one of the larger problems the Tea Party movement has. There is no party structure to go out and find candidates that are qualified or have a history of both accomplishment and good judgment. The loudest, crudest , most vicious voice is the one that people are rallying to. It says a lot about the state of the union these days and I do not think that we are headed down a road that has a good outcome. Political parties and political structures help get people who either serve local interest or regional interests. The Tea Party is vulnerable right now to the worst elements in society, that's what scares me

god sent his only begotten son to save man....and he ran as fast as he could to the cross to get away from man.....funny thing is that i not only believe in god, i believe in the gospel.....though i have not set foot in a worship service for decades....see kierkegaard......leave it to man to turn god and even jesus into an asshole....they must both be laughing and crying at the same time

There was a Tea Party rally here a few weeks ago.
A libertarian friend of mine went. He was surprised at the poor turn out even in what is traditionally a hardcore Republican/conservative region of the "Impeach Obama" and "you lie" bumper sticker types. He said that there wasn't really a particular message and that those that were there, were there for their own reasons really rather than to represent a unified voice of anything.

Then again, 'round here, folks are of the upper middle class and Oil industry crowd. So maybe unhappy about Obama but not disenfranchised.
