Rep. Joe Walsh gets pro-family award despite owing $117k in child support

[Swede]

Wait,what?


The Family Research Council Action Committee has lauded freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) for his “unwavering support of the family,” despite the fact that Walsh’s ex-wife claims he owes her more than $100,000 in child support payments.

The FRCA named Walsh a “True Blue” member of Congress, saying that his commitment to anti-abortion causes and his for voting record in support of, “faith, family and freedom,” were worthy of admiration.

7. Republican values

In order to be a "GOOD" republican, it seems you have to be a real piece of crap, like Walsh. All you have to do is look at the pervert republicans in congress, Vitter is a prime example, or someone like Walsh is not only a hypocrite, but a terrible father as well. All you have to do in the GOP is "CLAIM" to have high morals, you don't "really" need to have them!

10. In reality it is the 'pro fetus' award

Once you are born you are on your own, according to the FRC.
