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.

Can you please give the link? Thanks. :)
Representative Wilson:
If by some strange chance your read FR,
We the People do not rebuke you. You spoke clearly, passionately, and truthfully. You spoke for the People.
Guess one cannot say “you lie” on the house floor.
But one can indeed lie...and cheat on taxes (a la Rangel and most of the Obamaloon cabinet).
Does anybody give a dog-Obama what happens in the house anymore?
“Dana Rohrabacher of California”
That’s surprising! I can’t quite figure Rohrabacher out.
Cao is running in a black district. Don’t know about the rest.
Do you have a link? :)
I need to quote this elsewhere.
Yes, Cao is Vietnamese and a lot of his constituents probably think the district should have a black representative, so he will have an uphill struggle getting re-elected. I’ll give him a pass but not the other 6.
Is there anyway we can get tickets to the next SOTU address from our congressfolk? If I’m not mistaken didn’t the code pink pukes disrupt W speech a few times?? I would love to see some of us go there and yell out loud “YOU LIE”!! We’ll have several folk lined up to take up the mantel as soon as that person is kicked out!
So now begins the era of “let’s publicly rebuke a member of the minority party”. This precedent will lead to a “what goes around, comes around”, look for all out warfare between congresspersons in the near future, and most assuredly when the repubs retake the House.
Rep. Wilson, Please be proud that you spoke for us! It is something no one has done for too long of a time.
We will not donate to the Republican cause because they do not speak for us. They let Terri die, they let unborn babies die. They don’t speak. You spoke and you spoke for America. We will be sending a donation in tomorrows mail. Thank you sir.
Anyone got a roll call list of how people voted?
Cao has turned into a huge disappointment.
My parents and aunts and uncles live in Joanne Emerson’s district in South Missouri. I am passing this info to them. She married a Democrat and has been voting like one. She needs to be fired!
When standards of behavior protect tyranny, it is a higher standard of behavior to violate them.
He should do what Rush did, auction it off on Ebay.
GREAT idea!
Did anyone see the replay of a Congress critter from I believe Georgia by the name of Hank Johnson. He says that he guesses we will have people wearing white hoods and robes again. Anyone hazard to guess his race?
Yeah, I found that no vote kind of surprising too. My guess is that Dennis was too stoned to know what he was voting on.
Dennis may be a lala-land Liberal, but he is an honest man -- and that's far more than I can say about most of Congress. Kucinich means what he says and means what he does, he doesn't do partisan grandstanding like this.
Kucinich may be on the wrong side of the political divide and he's eccentric --no doubt-- but I do respect him because whatever else he is, he isn't a slimeball or a liar.
African-Democrat
Can someone verify to me that this is where I should make my donation?
