Still, Wilson's success -- despite having been criticized by Republican leaders

These idiots are going to have to shit or get off the pot. The gravy train is over.

YOU'RE EITHER FOR US OR AGAINST US.

Exactly. The GOP is infested with limp-wristed RINOS.

Can someone explain to me why World Net Daily is running ads against Joe Wilson? Here’s what I keep seeing on various pages at their web site:

“Joe Wilson: Heckler
Watch the video and sign the petition. Joe has got to go. “

And then it gives a web site link where you can go and contribute to his opposition.

Can’t wait for Obama’s next speech to congress when all the congressman scream “you lie, you lie” for the money of course.

Since “Wilson’s Donations” continue to come in [while the DNC dollars are stalled, for the weekend], I’m encouraged!

Wilson, who initially apologized for his words, is now riding a reaction that has surpassed the liberal backlash to his words: Miller has raised less than $900,000, according to the Democratic fundraising site ActBlue -- though still more than enough to envigorate his challenge.

That $900,000 figure is NOT true. Here's what I posted on another thread in regards to ActBlue's listing of donations to Miller:

Miller HAS NOT raised a million bucks in the last 72 hours. As this article and others have noted, Miller has raised $1,000,000 since November 2008. According to the link from American Thinker to this site, by some quick addition using my handy dandy calculator he has raised roughly $525,000 since the JSC.

And since the total (listed on that site) in donations for the current 2010 campaign is $891,645 it's clear that the $891,645 total is since November and the linked list of $525,000 is the 72 hours since the JSC. This list is surely 24 hours behind which would explain Miller supposively having added another $110,000 to have a $1 million war chest in total.

Bottom line: Miller HAS NOT reaped more in campaign $ than Wilson since the JSC and that false impression has been made by deceptively listing what Wilson has reaped since the JSC vs. what Miller has reaped since November 2008 and trying to paint it as the same time frame. In fact Wilson is on his way to doubling Miller's take since the JSC. It's simple addition you can do for yourself.

IIRC, you are referring to their "google ads" window, which is a pay-per-click handled entirely by google.

Like most websites who use "google ads" they (WND) get "faulty-algorithm-logic" ads in that little scroll section at times.

Google ads uses AdSense which floats ads on its scrollable section based upon keywords that routinely appear on a website (in this case WND has words such as 'Wilson'.

There have been cases when google ads, using AdSense, have automatically and accidentally placed pornographic ads with graphic pics and videos on unsuspecting website ad sections. (they were sued over this)

I don't trust Obama because I believe he is a liar and a fraud.

So this is my opinion on this Rep. Wilson incident:

Obama and company are unwittingly making a serious, comical mistake when they keep this Rep. Wilson and the illegal immigrant issue in the spotlight.

1. My point is this: The last thing that the pro-illegal immigrants people want is to shine the public spotlight or whether or not illegal immigrants will have access to Obamacare.

2. However, by continually jumping on Rep. Wilson, people like MSNBC and HBO host Bill Maher unwittingly continue to shine the spotlight on the controversial issue of whether or not illegal immigrants will have access to Obamacare.

3. I suspect that pro-illegal immigrant people wish that liberals would let this Rep. Wilson Obama-is-a-liar issue quickly go away, that is, they probably wish that liberals would stop demanding that Rep. Wilson apology over and over about calling Obama a liar when it comes to this illegal immigrant and Obamacare issue.

4. So I say this to Democratic liberals: Keep criticizing Rep. Wilson for his remark about illegal immigrants and access to Obamacare, because the more you complain publicly, the more you shine the spotlight on the illegal immigration issue and the more the public will demand that illegal immigrants not have access to Obamacare whatsoever.

The way to beat those is to click on the link and not donate.

Every time you click through, they have to pay Google money. If people click through a lot but don’t donate, it would cost them a good chunk of change.

Illegals already get health care with or without any kind of new legislation. IF they show up at the ER by law they cannot be turned away. We have been paying billions for the health care of anyone that shows up at the ER whether they can pay or NOT.

The same practice applies with education, property owners already fund public education for illegals.

He would have made 5 million if he wouldn’t have said he was sorry.

Of course, it’s not the money that’s the important thing. It’s the vote. Fortunately, there is a year for him to turn things around.

"Wilson's success -- despite having been criticized by Republican leaders -- represents the power of the conservative grassroots to reward politicians who confront the White House in the sharpest terms."

Joe wilson joining Sarah Palin in breaking the grip of the RNC!

2010 may be 1994, but 2012 is going to be 1980 all over again.

Those who are totally frustrated with the mushy, sellout Establishment Republicans would do well to remember the Reagan experience. He prevailed not be leaving the Party or leading a revolt within the Party, but by overwhelming it by bringing the majority of Americans to his cause. They’re nigh on ready to be led to the majority all over again.
