Joe Walsh, Deadbeat Dad Repug Congressman - Gone From Congress - Rears His Ugly Head........

Here's an article that appeared in Friday's Daily Herald - Northwest Suburban Chicago version of the newspaper.

"Walsh welcomed back to the suburbs, planning for 2014"

Joe Walsh may not be a congressman anymore, but on his first day back in the suburbs, the former 8th District representative made it clear that voters haven't heard the last from him.

Some exerpts:

- Walsh said he felt like he'd been on a battlefield since he was first elected in 2010.

- Instead of looking back, Walsh said he is focused on the future, including his own political future.

- I'm going to travel around the state and talk to as many people as I can, and then I'm going to decide if I'm going to run for something in 2014 alluding to rumors of a run for governor of Illinois

- Now that he's gone from Washington he said his own Republican Party is part of the problem, both in Washington and in Springfield, IL - the capitol of Illinois.

- He said he voted against the 'fiscal cliff' deal and would not have voted for Boehner for speaker if he were in the 113th Congress.

I'll let you read the whole article - as it is precious. This guy is really delusional.

Mr. Walsh will be 9 to 5ing it at a dominos for $7.50 an hour and working a second job to pay his back child support....honestly I hope he doesn't make enough and serves time for it...IMHO it's the best way for him to get back to understanding his constituents....he sounds like a westboro member as per the article....
