TWITTER IS FASCINATING. Earlier I received a few tweets from liberals who want to punish Joe Wilson for saying "You lie". They are outraged that he "broke the rules" of the House, and they demand retribution.
Oh, the irony...
Let's refresh our memories. It wasn't too long ago that we had a President (not just a mere Rep) who did worse than break any rules. He actually broke the law. He lied under oath in a court of law, not to protect his family, but to deceive the court so that he would have a better chance at winning his case against Paula Jones, thus denying her justice.
So what was the Hypocratic (Democratic) response back then? In the House, they voted AGAINST punishing him! And in the Senate, they voted AGAINST removing him from office! To top it off, the Hypocrats even said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with committing perjury, if it's about sex! (Funny, I didn't know that people swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.....unless it's about sex)
Now the Hypocrats have the audacity to demand punishment for Joe Wilson. Apparently, lying under oath isn't as bad as saying "You lie".
Conclusion: Break the law, but don't you dare break the rules!!
Are you saying Bill Clinton was a liar?
Democrats: Break the Law (like Bill), Not The Rules (like Joe)!!
By all means, feel free to use that line.
We need to remind people that Democrats enthusiastically applauded a law breaker 11 years ago.
Take care.
Thanks GOPt!
