S.C.'s Wilson Rakes In $750,000 in Less Than 48 Hours; Opponent Tops $1 Million
Washinton Post ^ | 9/11/2009 | Paul Kane

Posted on 09/11/2009 7:37:11 PM PDT by mojitojoe

With a political arms race in full force, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) has raised almost $750,000 in less than 48 hours since his shout of "You lie!" to President Obama during the Wednesday address to Congress, almost matching the Internet-fueled haul of his likely Democratic opponent. A senior GOP official said Wilson, who apologized to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel after the health-care speech but has since refused a more public apology, has turned his own previous sleepy campaign machine into an Web-friendly effort. Just as liberals have poured cash into the campaign of Rob Miller, who lost to Wilson by almost eight percentage points in 2008, conservatives are pouring contributions into Wilson's campaign at an astonishing rate.

Soros is a dirty word. The fact that he continues to live proves God is merciful.

Call me cynical, but now that other Politicians see that “boorish” and “rude” behavior towards 0bammy can pay off, I expect we’re going to have a few more such events by lesser-known politicians who need a boost in their coffers.

I sometimes wish for the God of the Old Testament. Fiery hail, locusts, death of the first born (although with abortion you’d never notice the difference) and a variety of other stuff we haven’t seen yet.

I agree. I can’t imagine any Republican or patriot not voting in 2010 or 2012. If we want our country back, we have to take it back.

It is about time.
When the republicans call truth to the lies of the democrats, they will win.
A lie will die in the truth of light.
It can’t stand on it’s own. Unless another liar supports it, the truth will prevail.
DemocRATS can’t be truthful. They always lie or misrepresent.

God hasn't struck any of these people down yet, has he? No. However, what it takes puny man and woman decades to build, Almighty God can destroy overnight. He did it to Sodom and Gomorrah and the Tower of Babel. He can do it again. He will humble them.

We need to do what we can to stop them, and at the same time pray for God's help.

I know these cheap leftists well. The traitor Marine Miller will be lucky to collect 10 cents on each dollar pledged. The pledges are all smoke and no steak.

Twenty years ago I lent a leftist friend five bucks and he still hasn’t paid it back. If he had paid back a quarter each year we’d be square, but he’s only interested in drinking beer and cheating on his wife and kids.

Amen! Very good to read. I have already donated to Cong. Wilson but will do so again as often as possible. He has guts and the left KNOWS it.

You mean the promise of money can cause the sheep in the GOP to grow a pair. The only catch is that they have to prove they have a pair first.
