    There is nothing to get over, but plenty to talk about, don't be so sensitive.

    Actually no Pelosi and the Dems ran on jobs,jobs ,jobs.Did they deliver in the years between 2006 ,when they took over the House ,until they were consigned to minority status ? No

    TP ran on reducing spending and the size of government .

    You remember Pelosi don't you ? She's the one that said unemployment was stimulus. She told artists that they shouldn't try to get jobs because the stupid
    American workers would pay for their health care and that their time could then be freed up to
    Focus on their talents, passions and aspirations, because they wouldn’t be “job locked.”

    She's the one that said Obamacare would create 400,000 new jobs.

    That's not being sensitive, I just have a good memory.

    In Washington's current state of dysfunction, everyone has a favorite hyper-partisan moment. House Republican Whip Eric Cantor's moment came at a White House meeting with congressional leaders on day three of the new Administration. He handed President Barack Obama a list of ideas to fix the economy. Pointing to a small business tax-cut item, Obama said: "We disagree on tax policy." When Cantor tried to justify his own position, Obama responded: "Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won."
    What's good for the goose...

    Hello again:

    “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!” Joe Walsh says directly into the camera in his viral video.

    But, he won't buy 'em lunch, either... What a scumbag...

    In the divorce between Joe Walsh and his ex, it's a LOT more than a "he said - she said" situation, as some of his apologists suggest. In fact, he ADMITS that he stiffed his kids. Here's what his LAWYER says: “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.”

    Now, I UNDERSTAND the problems child support causes to your average guy.. But, your average guy doesn't hold himself up to be a bastion of financial responsibility, like this hypocrite does. THAT'S why he deserves to be brought down. I HATE hypocrites.

    There's more. Read it here.

    So far I see nothing that indicates anything unusual as far as a contested custody settlement goes. 9 years of wrangling in the courts can't be cheap either. Maybe that money would have been better spent on the children. They way the article reads it really is a he said she said scenario. Having personal experience with today's child support system I can see how all of this is coming about. Claim after claim by a vendictive ex (no not you) and the system being out of whack like it is this is pretty typical of today's times.

    Child support of today has come to a point to criminalize the ordinary citizen going through a normal life. Its very sad for all parties especially the children.

    Hello again, dad:

    I don't disagree. I'm divorced. But, the difference is, I'M not DISSING the president on TV every day because of HIS financial irresponsibility... Joe, the hypocrite, Walsh IS.

    Now, if it were me, and I was just your ordinary guy with child support problems, and I just WON a congressional seat, knowing how things are, before I went on TV calling Obama out for HIS sins, I would have made absolutely sure that I was squeaky clean. Yes, I would have paid ALL of my ex's claims - EVEN if they were outrageous.

    But, evidently, he doesn't know how things are. How, he could believe that this WOULDN'T be exposed, and make him LOOK like a hypocrite, is perplexing.. But, I can't figure out how right wingers think.

    From what was stated it looks like they have been trying to reach a settlement of some kind. Including emails that were put into the record as evidence. Im thinking the exwife is getting greedy since his election into office.

    Unless we could see all the documentation involved we can't say for sure what is really going on. We can only make generalities out of the mess that is being reported. Im not saying he shouldn't pay what is owed. But it sounds a bit fishy from what I did read in that article.

    Wrong sir.

    Some Say G.O.P. Pledge to Voters Would Increase Deficit - NYTimes.com

    Republicans Offer Their Agenda for Midterm Elections

    In the legislative blueprint that Republicans hope will serve as a roadmap to winning control of the House, they declared their two highest priorities to be creating jobs and stopping “out-of-control spending” by the federal government.
