GOP Family Values Candidate Turns Out to Be a Deadbeat Dad

Yet another Republican hypocrite in the radical Christian right wing of that party. This one skipped out on well over ten years of child support. But he claims family values, and supports Mike Huckabee, so he can't be all bad, right?
Gee, this isn't a surprise. From FoxNews Chicago:
Marie Karlin said she has been trying to locate her ex-husband, Gary Karlin, after he disappeared 14 years ago. He paid her child support for a few months, but after he took off, Marie's parents had to help support her and her now 16-year-old daughter.
Every few months, she would Google Gary's name to see if she could find him, and, last month, she was stunned to discover he was running for office under "conservative" values.
"I was in shock," Marie told MyFOXChicago.
If there's one vote Gary can't count on, it's one from his ex-wife.
"I don't trust him as far as I can throw him," Marie told MyFOXChicago.
