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.

McCain is a senator...he doesn’t vote in the House.
Thanks, already have been admonished ... but I bet he would have ...
To Jeff Flake:
Even two Arizona dimocrats voted NO
I don’t think you want to hold on to this seat in the primary Mr. Flake.
Thanks, already have been admonished - but bet he would have.
“Dana Rohrabacher of California”
That’s surprising! I can’t quite figure Rohrabacher out.

Triplets can do that to a fella. ;-)
I’m suspecting he was sleeping during O’s speech and did this to cover up. ;-)
• call the President a “liar.”
• call the President a “hypocrite.”
• describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”
• charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.”
• refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”
• refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”
The Democrats officially banned the above speech on the HOuse floor today. And Republicans call this vile offense against the freedom of speech in the CONGRESS - a political stunt?! Man. Call your Senators and Reps NOW and OFTEN about this. CAll the GOP!
This violation of the constitutional rights of elected leaders will only be worse for us unless Republicans raise holy he!!.
I suggest they all come together and say these forbidden words every day from now until we vote the fascists out in 2010! How dare they!
Don`t forget the Republicrats.
>>Dennis Kucinich of Ohio<<
Wow, who lent Dennis a brain?
Now there are two peas in a pod. How much longer are we decent Americans going to put up with this stuff? It’s time to call them out. Let the chips fall where they may.
>>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.<<
I can tell you never lived in Cleveland.
Trust me, Dennis has an underlying reason for doing it, he was drugged up, or he was thinking about his animal friends.
Thank you, Democrats in Congress! I’m going right now to donate A SECOND TIME to Joe Wilson’s campaign. And I might even raise the amount!
Dennis Kucinich may be a chucklehead, but he’s one of the few who actually sees liberal Marxist utopianism as a realistic philosophy rather than as merely a tool to get and hold power.
This email just in from Joe Wilson.

Dear Jo,
Today, instead of working on the important issues facing our nation, the House of Representatives voted on a partisan “resolution of disapproval” of me. As reported, this is the first time in its history that the House has reprimanded a member for speaking out during a presidential speech in the chamber to a joint session of Congress.
By their actions today the Democratic leadership has proven once again that they would rather play political games on the taxpayer’s dime than work to create jobs or reform health care.
I was able to make a short speech on the House Floor before the official vote. I hope you will watch this video, and make a donation to help me fight back against the liberal Democrats and continue to stand for truth.
The supporters of a government takeover of health care are using my very vocal opposition as an excuse to muzzle the American people who have been outspoken against their risky plan.
Despite this unprecedented partisan assault, I will not stop fighting. I will continue to speak the truth.
Will you please watch this video and make a donation to help me fight back against these partisan attacks?
Proud to stand with you,
Joe Wilson
U.S. Representative
Yes. The “as long as he ain’t white” mentality.
WOW. Barney Frank actually said something I agree with-
One of the Democrats voting “present,” Barney Frank of Massachusetts, said, “I think it’s bad precedent to put us in charge of deciding whether people act like jerks. I don’t have time to monitor everyone’s civility.”
Flake was the one that missed the Cap & Tax vote because his daughter was a contestant in a beauty pageant. I hope the white mountain communities replace him with a real conservative in 2010.
The Democrats are controlled by the money and the money is controlled by the banks. That’s why all the bail out money went to the banks. Complain about them and they will call you racist. The whole thing is rigged.
Hurray for Joe! I stand with him. It’s a badge of honor.
Excellent. Rush says we want this. Joe will be a walking campaign contribution.
Money talks, so I just contributed. Thanks for the link.
