Maybe our spineless congresscritters will wake up and realize that we'll tangibly help and support them if they'll only just grow spines and stand up for what's right and fight for conservatives .. (not you, Lindsey .. you're a lost McCause)

The words "you lie!" earned Joe Wilson a resolution of disapproval on the House floor last month.
But the outburst has certainly had its upside, netting him $2.7 million in third quarter political donations -- with most of the money raised after his Sept. 9 outburst, according to Federal Election Commission reports filed Thursday evening.
Wilson's $2.7 million quarter is a fundraising anomaly -- better than many Senate candidates and even some presidential candidates could hope for.
Democrats hope a simultaneous fundraising boost for Wilson’s challenger, Rob Miller, will position him to make a viable run next November. But Wilson’s newly stocked war chest will give him plenty of resources to defend himself.
Most of Wilson’s contributions came in amounts so small they don’t meet the $200 threshold for reporting the names of the donors.
Of the big-dollar contributions he got, about $45,000 came before Sept. 9 and a little bit more than $593,000 came after.
The post-outburst checks, numbering nearly 1,200, came from all across the country.Wilson's challenger, Rob Miller, had not yet reported his third-quarter fundraising reports

He’ll get $10 million if he stands up and yells “you’re all a bunch of crooks, and the people are onto you!”
I’ve given to his campaign already.....but I’ll give him $500 if he calls them Communists on the floor. Srsly.
lol, I agree. Heck, I’d send him a check for a small amount just for getting that inserted into the public record.
Here, let me put this $20 donor on record, even though it was below the $200 minimum. Dana Kissick, that’s me, gave Joe $20 for having the balls to speak truth to power. Any progressive-fascist douche who has a problem with it can track me down, as I am the ONLY middle-aged guy by that name in our great country.
Word to Zero: “ YES WE CAN! “
I'm proud to say, I was one of the earliest donors.
SC ping.
BTW: That's why Dems look for demons like Rush and Palin, to motivate the liberal base in down times to give and rally.
Woo Hoo!
Just curious about how much his opponent has raised from the Dems in the same time period
I would LOVE to see SOMEone speak the truth in Congress.
Is anybody else having trouble accessing his website?
2.7 mill is nothing.
He should do what Michael Buffer did with “Let’s get ready to rumble” and trademark the words before somebody else does.
I live in Illinois and would be proud to have a guy with cajones represent me in some capacity. As it is, I have Obamamites in all offices.
Demint
Can I yell “You Lie!” at Obama and get even $500,000? Or if “You Lie!” is already overused, maybe I could yell “You Suck!” or “You Communist!”. Who wants to send me a check?
Should be worth more, in my opinion,
I hope “You Lie” is utilized as a campaign slogan in the 2012 presidential election.
I love it when Pollutico crys like this...
