Good for him, have Democrats ever apologized for anything?
Rep. Joe Wilson said Sunday that he will not apologize on the House floor for his outburst during President Obama's health care address, even though Democratic leaders have threatened to formally discipline him if he does not.
Wilson noted that he already apologized directly to the White House after shouting, "You lie," to the president during his Wednesday address to a joint session of Congress. The outburst triggered a political firestorm, but Wilson told "FOX News Sunday" that Democrats are just "playing politics" by trying to drag out the issue and force another apology.
"I've apologized one time. The apology was accepted by the president, the vice president. ... I am not apologizing again," he told "FOX News Sunday."
Wilson said he would "never do something like that again," but continued to defend himself.

Joe’s THE man!
He should arrange for time to address the congress and point plank refuse to appologize for telling the truth.
I agree.
President Barak Hussein Obama is the one who turned a joint session of Congress into a partisan campaign event. And he lied there, too, as Rep. Wilson said. It is Obama who should apologize, to the Congress and the American people.
GO JOE GO!!!!!!!!!
****Democrats are just “playing politics” by trying to drag out the issue and force another apology...****
Which is an opportunity in disguise!!!!
Keep attention focused on THE LIES AND THE LIARS!!!
Good for him. We tell our children that it it never wrong to speak the truth. I suppose our government has finally reached the stage where telling the truth is unseemly and requires an apology.
first get all those who booed Bush in the halls of congress during his various state of the union addresses, then we will talk about Joe Wilson.
all Joe needs to do is read the bill aloud and point out that bams was not entirely truthful........thus his comment stands.
nancy pelosi is the example of the 60’s rich sorority b*tch that
graduated into radical feminist hate politic.
Then tell them he ment to say A$$HOLE!
Joe...tell them that your apology to the House will come after the Democrats apologize for their collective rudeness to President Bush in 2005 and 2006 in similar venues. In those instances they were booing the truth; you were merely pointing out the turd in the punchbowl.
Pelosi’s poll numbers are at a all time low...They will tank if she goes through with this! Go Joe Wilson!!!
Democrats have substituted obsession for decorum with regard for truth.
Joe Wilson made an indecorous remark. Obama ally to the assembled joint House of the United States Congress and to the American people whom he was calculatedly addressing on television. Obama's remarks were premeditated and deliberate. Wilson's remark was spontaneous and completely unplanned. Obama was lying, Wilson was telling the truth.
Joe Wilson told the world that Obama has no clothes and Wilson was right. Obama is a liar. The media and the Democrats have stood reason and respect for truth on their head with a contrived indignation over a breach of manners. Which value should be elevated over the other in a decent society in which you want to live?
Why in the name of Ronald Reagan cannot at least one Republican spokesman besides Newt Gingrich make a decent argument?
Ping.
a decision that will be reflected in his campaign coffers!
Will he be able to speak on the House floor before he officially says he won’t apologize? Just wondering if he does get to speak that maybe he’ll ask for Harry Reid’s apology for calling Bush a liar? and maybe ask for Nancy Pelosi’s apology for calling the CIA liars?
