For those of you that think the Joe Wilson flap helps the GOP even one iota....

[scheming daemons]

The last two questions of the CNN poll taken 9/11 to 9/13:

19. During that address, a Republican member of the U.S. House shouted that Obama had lied while Obama was speaking. Do you think that was appropriate behavior or inappropriate behavior?

Sept. 11-13
2009

Appropriate 15%
Inappropriate 85%
No opinion 1%

20. And just your best guess -- based on what you have read or heard about that address, do you think Obama lied while he was speaking to Congress on Wednesday night, or don't you think so?

Sept. 11-13
2009

Obama lied 32%
Don't think so 60%
No opinion 8%

1. They have been shooting themselves in the foot for quite some time now.

Seems to have started a lot more with McCain picking Palin. Those SNL skits were devastating.

5. Shhh... a lot of us know but do not tell them. They lurk here,

Traitorous reptilian lot they are.

There is a book I never read "The art of war".


I have read it says to never let the enemy stop itself when it does something really dumb.

3. Expect more pundits on TV talking about a Republican resurgence in 2010

4. They don't need a majority of the people to destroy the country.

Not only do the crazies not care - they actively support the outrageous behavior of the GOPand attack GOP representatives when they DON'T behave outrageously!

LIKE ME SEND THIS POST EVERYWHERE YOU CAN!
Well, frumps, in a kinder, gentler (less informed) time Rep. Joe “You Lie” Wilson might have gotten away with a sharp rebuke for bad manners but would still be able to ride his “high horse” into the sunset. BUT – as happens so often in this crazy little 21st century, especially to the GOP – there are “vigilante fact checkers” out there, who are only too happy to call you out if you turn out to be an opportunistic hypocrite.

And so it is that we learned, yesterday, that Joe Wilson, who was so righteously enflamed over the notion that illegal immigrants might benefit from the current healthcare reform bill, broke with the rules of Congressional decorum and protocol and yelled out that the President was a liar. Well, as we used to say in the old neighborhood “takes one to know one.”

Here’s the skinny on that from OpenCongress.org:

On Wednesday night, Rep. Joe Wilson , shouted “You lie!” at President Obama when he said that the healthcare bill would not cover illegal immigrants. “The supporters of the government takeover of healthcare and liberals who want to give healthcare to illegals are using my opposition as an excuse to distract from the critical questions being raised about this poorly conceived plan,” Wilson said the next day in a campaign fundraising video.

However, in 2003, Wilson voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants’ healthcare. The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants. The program has been extended through 2009 and there is currently a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it permanent.

It’s highly unlikely that Rep. Wilson merely forgot about the MMA or that, over time, he lost his original soft-heartedness for illegal immigrants. This particular bill had one of the most epically contentious and scandalous histories in recent legislative memory.

did you get that last paragraph? the most scandalous contentious legislation recent history! do ya think their was some lobbyists involved?
please e-mail this to all ur friends-twitter or whatever! we din't need any elected offical shouting our president ia a liar when it's obvious he himself(wilson) is of questionable sanity status!
