I just ran into my den and checked my hearth... but it was still sitting there like a lump of bricks. :-)

I just see it differently... that is all. We are in a fight for the kind of Nation that we will live in for the rest of our lives... and a fight means someone is going to get hurt... punches are going to be thrown... some one is going to have their feelings hurt and someone is going to lose... I plan on winning and half baked attempts at some mythical high road is a recipe for losers... and I refuse to lose my country or my way of life... you seem to see decorum as being more important.

It’s not about decorum per se. It’s about persuasion.

This speech, this debate that is taking place, is not about people like you and me and Joe Wilson, or people like DU or KOS or Obama. We already have our minds made up.

This debate is about persuading the people who don’t yet know which side they’re on.

And you’re simply not going to persuade those people by ranting and being out of control. That makes you look weak. People are attracted to strength, and confidence. A man in control of himself looks strong and confident, a man out of control looks like a loser.

I have no problem with what he said, but it was not the place and time to do it.

Some very serious rules of decorum govern visits by the President to the Congress. Has to do with respect for the Constitution and the separation of powers.

You may not agree with it, but there it is. You don't like the Constitution, go somewhere else where they do it different ~ maybe South Korea ~ they do some beatdowns in Parliament!
