In the midst of the left and the Press getting all wee-wee’d up about a little outburst, Rep. Joe Wilson has racked up more than $1 million dollars in contributions. The Republicans have gained a 7 point lead in the generic ballot thanks to Democrats and state run media concentrating on nonsense like this instead of actually doing their job. Why would the left give so much free advertising to a candidate who called them out? After all, he was just telling the truth.
On July 30 of this year, a House committee voted against a Republican amendment offered by Rep. Nathan Deal that would have required health care providers to use the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program to prevent illegal aliens from receiving government health care services. All Republicans and five Democrats voted for it, but 29 Democrats voted against it, killing the amendment.
On the same day, the committee voted 30-29 against an amendment offered by Republican Joe Pitts explicitly stating that government health care would not cover abortions. Zealous abortion supporter Henry Waxman — a walking, breathing argument for abortion if ever there was one — originally voted in favor of the Pitts amendment because that allowed him, in a sleazy parliamentary trick, to bring the amendment up for reconsideration later. Which he did — as soon as he had enough Democrats in the hearing room to safely reject it.
Thanks for the 2-month old news.
What happened today regarding the illegal immigrant/healthcare issue?

The congressman, we learned, belonged to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, led a 2000 campaign to keep the Confederate flag waving above South Carolina’s state Capitol and denounced as a “smear” the true claim of a black woman that she was the daughter of Strom Thurmond, the ’48 segregationist candidate for president. Wilson clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber.
Joe Wilson is a racist.
Having been a Republican until I could stand it no longer because of dolts like Joe Wilson, I see that I have company in others that want to wring out what is wrong with the party and take it back.
Mark McKinnon, Republican strategist for Bush and McCain not only donated $1,000 to Rob Miller, but he’s also volunteering to work his campaign and encouraging others to do the same! ROLF. How do you like them apples, Wilson?
Send Joe Wilson Home
Make Joe Wilson pay.
And by pay, I mean beat his sorry ass at the polls and send him to the private sector. That is the only way to change the political discourse in America today. Because as long as louts like Joe Wilson can spout off and call the president a liar and get rewarded with reelection, then louts will continue to spout off. And we will continue to claw our way to the very bottom of the political swamp.
I’m a Republican, but I’d rather have a Democrat in Congress who I may disagree with but who has some fundamental character and decency that Wilson clearly lacks. So, today I’m volunteering for Republicans for Rob Miller, Wilson’s opponent, a former Marine and Iraq veteran, and am sending him a $1,000 check. And you can do the same by going here.
