WASHINGTON – The House has voted to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson over his "You lie" outburst to President Barack Obama during the president's health care speech to Congress last week.

The 240-179 vote on the resolution of disapproval reflected the sharp partisan divide over the issue. Democrats insisted that the South Carolina Republican take responsibility for what they said was a serious breach of decorum. Republicans characterized the vote as a political stunt.

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t a lot of Republicans vote with the Democrats?

Sounds like it’s time for another contribution to Congressman Wilson’s campaign.

2010 will NOT get here SOON ENOUGH.

The Dems shall reap what they have sown - soon they will be admonished by the American Citizenry.

The Dims just don’t get it. They waste valuable time for something like this while important issues are put on the backburner. They then mock the people who are tired of their partisan BS. 2010 is starting to look a lot like Christmas.

I’ve already called my “representative” to express my unhappiness, and will call a few more times.

He should frame it and hang it on the wall of his office.

I’m glad the House feels like this is the top priority. Do they have NOTHING better to do. The guy apoligized face to face, like a man. Get over it already.
