Is Joe Wilson the ONLY conservative in Congress that will speak out? Are the rest of the Republicans just a bunch of mealy mouthed whiners and wimps? They should be RAISING MORTAL HELL! They should be DEMANDING that independent prosecutors be appointed for a whole list of crap that this administration and his co-conspirators have done. Repubs should be jumping up and down on desks! Does the Republican leadership just not get it? Where is THEIR passion and outrage?? They don't have the bully pulpit or control of Congress, and they have limited access in the media. BUT EVERY FREAKING TIME they have an opportunity, they should be GIVING THEM HELL!!! So what if the media tries to paint them with a RADICAL brush because of an impassioned outburst!! IF IT'S THE TRUTH, IT WILL PREVAIL, In fact, if they quit acting like a bunch of wimps, maybe they could get more coverage... Look how much media coverage Sarah gets, alot of it negative, but no one disputes the substance of her message. She makes a difference. The left is afraid of her and she doesn't even have a political office anymore. Think the left is afraid of ANY Republican in Congress?? All of this crap going on with ACORN, the DOJ and the Black Panther case, Van Jones, Czars, the absolute bald faced lying from this administration and the Democrats in Congress, etc, etc... JOE WILSON WAS RIGHT. He has been proven right by the action taken by the White House - Obama was lying!! 2 million Americans marching on DC protesting this government. There is a revolution brewing in this country. If the Republicans in Congress don't demonstrate with strong conviction where they stand, they'll be swept out with the trash as well.
They should all be harping on Acorn, The F-22 and the LIES.
Michele Bachmann, Jim DeMint, Inhofe...a few more, but that’s about it.
You can count the ones who are not wimps on one hand.
Y E S
Add Gohmert to the list of “good guys”.
For the most part, except for Joe Wilson and a few others, they are all a bunch of cowards. They are there for money and power - to hell with the people they represent.
YES!
Brains are almost as rare as testicles in Congress.
Yes, I believe they are. Having said that, I believe that the republicans are a little closer to finding a backbone than the dems are.
aren’t conservatives interested in states’ rights? Nothing is stopping local conservative elected officials from doing the above. We are a citizen-led movement.
Yesterday, the citizens led.
Sad to say, most of them are so “PC” they don’t even rise to the level of “wimp”. They’re more afraid of Pelosi than of the folks who elected them.
They’ll respond to a leader. Maybe Wilson is that leader.
just till 2010.....
Both sides of the aisle have been corrupted. Glenn Beck is right about that. IMO evil is winning. Every day I pray for a miracle. That is what it would take to clean this out.
No they are making noise and standing together mostly. Some are afraid to fight to vigorously. They don’t want to become targets however it also means they can not be the leaders we need. Joe Wilson spoke up because he feels the boiling anger that we feel with the decent into socialist tyranny. That is why he spoke out and any American who is not tired of the lies, tired of a big government enslaving us to causes and programs we do not support is either disengaged or the enemy within. We have the opportunity to recapture the flame of liberty before it is put out by our own would be third world dictator Barack Obama.
bipartisan mccain called out from the u.s. senate for joe wilson to apologize.
All of you obviously don’t catch the limited times Minority Boehner has been speaking out to the media which he did the next day defending Joe Wilson on the fact Obama lied in his speech.
There is pretty much of a media blackout against Republicans and they are for the most part only covered back in their district so people have no idea how they are speaking out.
I get Boehner’s email every Monday and it covers what was done the week before and mostly what we never hear from the biased media.
It would be nice if some of you spent as much time going after Dems as you do going after the GOP. We have many outspoken members — two Senators from OK come to mind but they cannot get face time unless they are back in Oklahoma.
The only thing that even hints of machismo behavior is the fact that the majority of them are not able to keep their zippers up! The whole lot of Republicans and Democrats need to be voted and thrown out!
