Wilson campaign: Fundraising breaks $1 million, passes Miller
Politico ^ | 09/12/09 | Ben Smith

A source on Rep. Joe Wilson's campaign says his fundraising has broken $1 million -- and surpassed that of his Democratic rival, Rob Miller -- since his outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama's address to Congress Wednesday. ---Snip--- Still, Wilson's success -- despite having been criticized by Republican leaders -- represents the power of the conservative grassroots to reward politicians who confront the White House in the sharpest terms.

When a politician tells the truth, people tend to trust them. Wilson is living proof.

Wilson is in his 3rd or 4th term in a heavily Republican district. He had nothing really to worry about before Wednesday, and even less to worry about now.

good, brave people with the guts to tell the truth deserve to be rewarded. I sent him $50, which was this months ammo budget but it was money well spent.

Just imagine what it would have been had his servers been able to keep up with the demand! I tried numerous times to get in and couldn’t. I’ll just wait until the furor dies down a bit and then contribute. Problem with that is that I tend to get busy and never get back to finish it up.

Too bad his system wasn’t up to the challenge, but then I doubt anyone expected the traffic to it to skyrocket like that!

Good for him!

I just contributed a few minutes ago, first time ever for someone outside my own state.

My next contribution to an out of stater will be to Chris Dodd’s republican opponent.

With Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and now Joe Wilson, let’s hope more real Americans stand up against the communists!

Which means the Dems are wasting their resources.

Personally I can't think of a better thing for the Democrats to do with their resources.

I’m sure the DNC is busily trying to get that money redirected in their direction where they can put it to better use.

Joe is scheduled to be on Fox News Sunday tmorrow. I hope he presents the Friday night dump that included a change in the administration’s stance on the Illegal Immigrant issue that justifies his position that the Post Turtle lied before a Joint Session to turn the knife just a little bit more.

Follow that with a demmand for special proseccutors for Rangel, Frank and Pelosi before offering any more apologies no matteer what the Dems threaten him with.
