House Votes to Discipline Wilson for Outburst The House of Representatives, on the heels of an impassioned and lively debate, voted Tuesday to formally admonish Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., for accusing the president of lying during a joint session of Congress a week ago. The vote was 240-179. Five lawmakers voted "present." Ahead of the tally, lawmakers hurled an arsenal of accusations at each other over the issue, with Republicans calling the effort a "partisan stunt" and Democrats stepping up their condemnation of Wilson's original offense. The decision to punish him on the floor of the House was made even though Wilson apologized directly to the White House after President Obama's speech Wednesday night. Wilson also issued a written statement expressing regret. Wilson spoke before the vote Tuesday, saying he'd done enough and it's time to "move forward." "There are far more important issues facing this nation than what we're addressing right now," Wilson said on the floor of the House. "(President Obama) graciously accepted my apology and the issue is over." He told FOX News afterward that he thought "political games were played." "I believe today was a low day," he said. "This truly was a game of no meaning." House Minority Leader John Boehner called it a "partisan stunt" and a "sad day for the House of Representatives." But House Democratic leaders wanted further action taken. Wilson shouted, "You lie," after Obama claimed in his joint address to Congress that his health care reform plan would not cover illegal immigrants. It is against House rules to call the president a "liar" or accuse him of "lying" when the House is in session.

I will be donating 100 out of my next check, Joe should send Nancypants a thank you when he wins re-election.
“Five lawmakers voted “present.””
Was Bammy allowed to vote 5 times?
Just made my contribution!
Joe should take the written notification of censure and have it very nicely framed and hang it on his office wall. It’s his badge of courage. I hope it serves as a challenge and an inspiration to other conservative legislators to stand up to liberal lies and deceit.

Meanwhile, Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel gets to keep his position on the committee that writes the tax laws for the rest of us to follow.
And Nancy - the Jerk DID lie. And Joe Wilson probably had had enough of his accusations that his constituents were scaremongering liars as well, and was only voicing what millions of good Americans were saying in their living rooms.
Free speech at work!
Democrats have done worse to Bush... but they have NO conscience. What other excuses do they have to quell republican opinion?
Totally a political move and not necessary.
Also setting a dangerous precedent.
Pelosi at her worst.
I call it the "you lie" massacre.
That’s a great idea, but I like the idea of auctioning it off on ebay better.
How do we know Zero is lying? HIS mouth is moving.
7 Republican votes for the resolution: Cao Emerson Flake Inglis (from South Carolina) Jones Petri Rohrabacher --------- 5 voted present Engel Foster Frank (MA) Shea-Porter Skelton -------- 10 not voting Ackerman Barrett (SC) Conaway Hoekstra Lynch McHugh Sestak Tanner Velázquez Waters
This guy needs to be purged from the SCGOP... along with Gramnesty and the LuvGuv.
Just sent a few bucks from Wisconsin. His tally says $1,615,909.

Dang! Wonder what’s up with Rohrabacher. Always thought he was one of the good guys. Petri surprises me too.
They’re just trying to get a Democrat to say something nice about them.
Vaffanculo!
