If the Dems do censure Wilson, why can't all the GOP reps stand with him?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 09/14/2009 1:11:24 PM PDT by ken5050

What I'd like to see...If the Dems are stupid enough to go ahead and censure Joe Wilson, and he is thus forced to stand in the well of the House chamber and hear the resolution read by Pelosi, what is to prevent ALL of the GOP congresscritters from going down there and standing with him, side by side..shoulder to shoulder? Would thew rules of the Hosue prohibit it? Could they be stopped. IMHO, it would be a defining, and energizing statement.

How many does it take for censure? It would be real interesting if a few democrats stood with him.

If they are going to censure him, will it be subject to debate? can the text of Obama's statements, where he called conservative talk hosts on tv/radio and politicians "liars" be entered into the Congressional Record?

What sort of settlement is Joe Wilson due when the first illegal immigrant receives benefits, now or 10 years from now?

Why oppose REQUIRING proof of residency?

Joe needs to stand himself. He’s now saying that Soetoro didn’t “lie” but that he was just misinformed...or some such crap.

I called my representative and vented big time on him demanding to know why Joe Wilson was the ONLY one with the stones to stand up to this tyrant in chief.

I’m sure he got the message.

Standing with Joe Wilson would be the most effective way to win re-election next November, and all true conservatives in the House should do it.

It would be 'nice', but RATs don't play 'nice', so I wouldn't hold your breadth (not too long at least) cause it could kill you.

You are asking for a showing of SPINE by the republican party?? Why not just ask Hussein to become a conservative? The odds are MUCH better.

218, simple majority. He should wear it as a badge of honor, a mistake made in the heat of the moment that has allowed all of us to not only show the rampant hypocrisy of Democrats (and a few Republicans), but it has also allowed for the constant repetition of all of the lies 0bama has uttered regarding this particular bill.

I caught only a few moments of the FOX interview of him the other day, where he said something to that effect.

Didn't we vote the Korean War through when China or Russia walked out of the concil meeting? (My history is fuzzy.)

They should all stand with him, but not walk out.
