WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic leaders are planning a House vote early next week to admonish Republican Rep. Joe Wilson if he does not apologize on the House floor for yelling ''You lie!'' during President Barack Obama's health care address to Congress.

National attention from the heckling episode has money pouring into Wilson's campaign treasury and that of his 2010 Democratic challenger. Wilson had raised more than $700,000 since the incident as of Friday, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee. His opponent, Rob Miller, had received more than $1 million from 25,000 donors nationwide, said his campaign manager, Lindsay Zoeller.

“I’m sure Wilson will be betrayed by his own party in the name of bipartisanship.”

That may happen. If/when it does, I say we all donate again to Joe and send them the message that we’re sick to death of this one-sided bipartisanship!

Will the House admonish (Senator) Hillary for sleeping during GWB’s State of the Union?

These are the thumb-sucker cowards who hid behind rocks when their constituents wanted to meet with them the past month. Joe told the truth and took the spotlight away from there Marxist leader. Now they want to slither into the safe confines of the House chambers for some statist media-grabbing symbolism.

Mr. Wislon should stand up and apologize for breaking the House rules. That’s it. He should not apologize for telling the truth.

It kind of reminds of a rinky dink restaurant claiming they are world famous because some couple from Australia ate there once.

Exactly! And the MSM wonders why no one trusts them any longer! I'm sick of the lies, the spin and MSM ignoring things they don't agree with.

I hope he bears his “admonishment” with dignity and stops apologizing.

LMAO, good one and evidently true.
