I think he ought to stand up.

Tell the chamber that he was sorry for his outburst(rude) BUT say,

“I stand by my words!!!”

Then sit down and watch the fun !!!

Joe Wilson was right.

Time to turn this around, and start saying so.

I think a couple of the GOP reps who were at the 912 demonstrations yesterday, seem to realize they’re looking at a political grassfire of historic proportion. They get it.

As it dawns on more Republicans just how hungry Americans are for someone - anyone - to stand up and challenge what’s happening, they’ll start doing so.

Joe Wilson just started the next big change.

THAT is exactly what Wilson should do.

Wilson either believes Obama was lying or he doesn’t, and that needs to be made abundantly clear.

The state run media has been spinning what his apology may have meant... Wilson needs to make clear.

I hope Joe Wilson continues to stand his ground.

Let the RINOs in his own party wring their hands and while they do, Joe will wish they had the courage of their convictions, the guts to stand up against tyranny, blackmail, bullying, dictatorship, communism, Marxism, socialism and all manner of liberal lies.

All the Republicans that do not stand up for Joe and are running for reelection in 2010, vote them out.

By my count in the speech, Obama called the oposition lyars around 20 times. Joe Wilson caled him on it one time. Bravo Joe!

My questions are, “Obama, are you stupid? Or do you think I am?”

The answer is, “Obama is a bold faced lyar because he knows his supporters are too stupid to see a lie when it slaps them in the face.”

Excellent! George Allen taught us that constant apologizing doesn’t work, and Joe is right not to do so.

Anyway, screw Obama and the Dems...Wilson is right, they are liars. That’s the truth even if he blurted it out at an improper time.

He should apologize on the floor, it would get serious coverage by all the media and give him a great platform to point out all the lies in detailed fashion in a very long speech and then at the end say something like “but instead of shouting you lie which is rude I should have been more politically correct and shouted you are truth challenged”. What a great opportunity to pass up.

Agreed, we are in a bar room brawl with the liberals, they hit below the belt 24x7, it’s time for conservatives to take the gloves off.

He knows it's a trap. The videotaped apology will be used by his opponent in campaign ads.

“Excellent! George Allen taught us that constant apologizing doesn’t work, and Joe is right not to do so.”

Amen, if Allen had simply said “I apologized once and it’s time to get my message out on X, Y and Z for Virginia” the Presidential primary for ‘08 would have been much different.

Good for him...he never should have apologized in the 1st place. If I were the good Rep., I would go to the well on the House floor & make a 2-minute speech denouncing Obama for being an enemy to our Constitution & the Dim leadership for picking & choosing what they consider to be worthy of rebuke: Joe Wilson = bad (???)...but Charles Rangel = good (???).

I just received this email from Joe Wilson after
a note of encouragement sent on Wednesday night.
Yes... I have already made a contribution.

**********************************************

Dear Jo,

As you may be aware, the attacks and threats from the liberal Democrats have not let up.

On Fox News I made one thing clear: I will not apologize to Nancy Pelosi and her allies who threatened to censure me in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Washington Democrats and their liberal allies want to divert attention away from the concerns about the massive government takeover of health care. In fact, they have made me their Number One target — already raising more than a million dollars to attack me.

But I will not give up and I will not back down from our fight. We will not be muzzled.

I need your help today.

Will you please make a donation to help me fight back against these unwavering attacks?

Thank you for standing with me in this fight,

Joe Wilson
U.S. Representative
