Fiscal Responsibility?

I thought that meant paying your debts.

It does, Hillwilliam.. and this guy will probably get the boot at election time if not sooner. As a general rule, US Americans don't like dead-beat parents.

IF he is. Right now there is no more evidence of that than a bitter ex-wife trying to make trouble.

Oh, there is more evidence than that, perhaps you should read, or learn to.

Walsh, whose campaign was marked by allegations of financial mismanagement, said he thought he and his ex-wife were coming to an agreement on the money owed, according to a February court filing. His attorney, R. Steven Polachek, denied that the congressman owed $117,437 in back child support and interest and said the amount was much less.

Read the article wilbur.

His attorney, R. Steven Polachek, denied that the congressman owed $117,437 in back child support and interest and said the amount was much less.

"I dispute that he owes the child support that she's claiming or anywhere near that amount," Polachek said. "Joe Walsh hasn't been a big-time wage-earner politician until recently — he's had no more problems with child support than any other average guy."

Note he isn't claiming that the congressman isnt a dead-beat dad.

And I LOVE the last sentence. like the average guy is a dead-beat dad. BULLSHIT.

Here's another quote from the article you didn't read.

"The congressman's alleged financial problems made headlines while he was campaigning last year, when at least one staffer claimed he would "spend, spend, spend uncontrollably." His campaign manager quit and sued for $20,000 in nonpayment, and two other staffers who quit accused him of not properly disclosing a 2008 home foreclosure and traffic citations to the public, taking their grievances public. Walsh also bounced checks, including one to a Republican fundraiser."

He didn't pay his staffers salaries and had to be sued. His house was foreclosed on he writes rubber checks and he is trying to tell us that he will get the country on a sound financial keel?

Looks like he's just a deadbeat all around.

There is no 'if', willbeurdaddy. He already admitted it. He's just disputing the amount he actually owes.

Hell of a question pops. Both parties are full of them and it's been happening for the better part of a century.

Just because you refuse to (or can't) read something doesn't make it untrue.

He ADMITTED he owes the money he only disputes the amount.

Deadbeat dad in congress who doesn't pay his other bills (foreclosed home he admitted to). GREAT role model there.

But 'the election' didn't get him out 11/10. Or...did he run up all $117K in just 9 months ?
