"The audacity of the joke"!!!

What a bunch of idiots!

The Family Research Council is really a diligent/hard working/thorough researching group, in Republican terms, when they awarded Joe Walsh a family award even though he's trying to stick it to the families of this terrific country! And, Joe Walsh should have turned the award down in view of the fact that in Democratic terms, he doesn't measure up as a diligent/hard working/thorough family man! What he measures up to is owing a ridiculous amount of money in family support. How is it that, in Republican terms, this does not measure as a disgrace/abuse/terror against families? Perhaps he should be given an award by Liberals! I wonder what that would look like? QUICO!

"unwavering" non financial "support of the family"

Another "loser" organization. Any organization that promotes Joe Walsh is a loser just like Joe Walsh. All of these people that's Pro-Life just think about it. People like Joe Walsh is not taking care of the children put on this earth and Joe Walsh has NOT paid his ex-wife all of the money owed to her so she can take care of his children. It takes a lot to raise children and many go without because there are many family value fathers like Joe Walsh not providing the money. He MIGHT be providing money now but what happened when he was not providing the money and now the money is in excess of $100,000. Oh yes a real family value person and a loser organization who's saying Joe Walsh represents family values.

What a joke! Any other American would lose the driver license have there wages attached what makes him so special. Thanks to all of the corruption and lobbying going on in Washington

The hypocrisy of Perkins and Sprigg is sickly. They are actually anti family.

Only they can have a complete jerk off, dead beat dad as a mascot of the family!

the sad part is these IDIOTS truly believe it.

Well there should be a special election in IL as well today for his seat! as he should not be aloud to continue as a United State Congressperson! he should be serving time until his child support is paid up. like any other citizen who is a dead beat!

Ludicrous! He should win the "dead-beat dads in public office award," if there is one!

Don't forget he is the first of the new Tea Party Republicans elected last November to espouse using his office as a BEDROOM & KITCHEN. He set up house-keeping in his office as soon as he arrived as did many, many new House members. The offices we pay for are not made to be their own apartment. Crock pot cooking all day, smells emanating, showering in the House Gym and making the house-keeping staff have to clean more than is the case if your office is only used as an office. Joe W. said he has no intention of renting an apartment as he wants to go home as often as possible and with their schedule that is a lot! In fact in 2012 the House members will only be wprking 109 days in the year. How is YOUR work schedule???

Defeat the Sex Police again and give Joe Walsh Dead Beat Hypocrite award of the Day... $117,417 dollars of unpaid child-support..

I always knew the "Family" Research Council was a farce. This is just further confirmation in my mind. When have they ever focused on "family" outside of ranting and raving about the homosexual "agenda"? Bueller? Bueller?? Besides, SPLC hasn't labeled the FRC a hate group for nothing ...

Me thinks the "ladies" at the FRC doth protest too much ... they are nothing but a bunch of crotchety, sexually repressed, waaaaaay-back-in-the-closet queens so afraid and so cowardly to allow themselves to be who they really are ... gay.

The only reason why Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh, scumbag supreme, won this "award" is because he is a homophobic tool. Joe Walsh reminds me of the pile of dog sh*t I inadvertently stepped in this morning ...

Thank you for doing this, Lawrence. When I first read about the award I looked for coverage on it, for laughs if nothing else, but not much has been said. I guess IOIYAR?

Family Research Council, your poster boy is a zero! OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! No reflection of your group, of course!

Yes Sandy The Poster boy toy for the The right wing Family Research Council

Is this a Ralph Reed NGO?

this is just another example of how the christian right/republican party protects their own, as they did with david vitter who had the diaper fettish, as they are doing with herman cain, and now with joe walsh.

the republicans don't really care about the personal lives of the people who "represent" their party (senators, representatives, presidents, governors, etc). all they really care about is what they SAY they stand for, and HOW they vote (NO). calling the president a liar is good for the republican party. they like that. questioning his birth place is also something they like. they also like filibustering and gridlock. they also like the OBSESSION with making President Obama a one term President.

giving money to the rich must be a top priority, while paying down the deficit on the backs of the middle class and the poor and vulnerable is an absolute.

now the republican party does not want to make revenues a part of the super committee defict reduction, unless the bush tax cuts are made permanent, which means of course that the republicans want to do nothing to cut the deficit for a democratic president, or grow the economy, or create jobs. so, what gets done for the next year with the HELP of the republican party? NOTHING.

is this another replay of the debt ceiling debacle?

the republicans must really not care how they look to theb american people, or they are so filled with hatred for our president, that they just can't see what they are doing.

Garnish his wages.  Then kick his arse out, Illinois.

Garnish his wages. Then, kick his worthless arse out. Voters of Illinois-show Joe 'Welch' what it means to be unemployed.
