  1. Walsh has always supported doing what he could to damage as much as society and to put as much money in the hands of as few people as possible.

  2. He had an empty stomach you know…that’s why he lost his cool. *rolls eyes*

  3. Zach Cordane, since you have such animus against Walsh, why don’t you get off your big fat lazy liberal butt out of your armchair, and circulate some petitions to run against him.

    You DO live in his district, don’t you?

  4. Whoever got him his additional caffeine kicker should poured the entire damned pot over his head!!

    The guy gets paid with taxpayer dollars — the very people he was yelling at.

    He may have been elected with special interest group dollars, but his compensation package (paycheck, benefits and super lucrative retirement perks) are taxpayer funded. Time to draw the curtains on his “career”; let him earn child support money another way.
