Republican Rep. Joe Walsh was the only Illinois congressman to be named a “True Blue” member of Congress for “unwavering support of the family” by the Family Research Council Action committee Thursday.

Walsh’s ex-wife says Walsh owes more than $100,000 in back child support for their three children. Walsh counters that he and his wife had a “verbal agreement” that he didn’t have to pay child support during years when he wasn’t earning as much.

1. Focus on your own family, Joey!

2. FRC is just another front organization for the Republican Party

They could give a shit about families...just the political power that they have to influence conservative politicians.

3. Says a lot about the FRC.

You can do anything as long as there is an "R" after your name.

Joe Walsh is "True Blue" to Joe Walsh.

:thumbsdown: to the FRC.

4. pro-family is just a codeword for "hate the gays".

I don't think they fool anyone into thinking they really are concerned about families. It's the same way that republicans complain about "welfare queens"; a codeword for black women.
