'You LIE!' — Page 4

Spiderdj82,my heart goes out to you. Good Luck! If it makes you feel any better Sanford has called a press conference this afternoon. Maybe he will FINALLY do what MANY Republicans have demanded and resign.

Joe Wilson has a history of apologizing(or being forced to apologize)If you ask me, Joe Wilson hates Black people.

Wilson calls outburst "spontaneous", stands by belief that bills will fund "illegal aliens"

In his first public comment on the incident, Wilson tells reporters that the Republican House leadership had contacted him last night and "wanted me to contact the White House and state that my statements were inappropriate."

"I did," Wilson says. "I'm very grateful that the the White House, in talking with me, they indicated that they appreciated the call and that we needed to have a civil discussion about the health care issue, and I certainly agree with that."

He says his outburst during the president speech was "spontaneous."

Wilson also indicates that he stands by his belief that at least some of the bills working their way through Congress would not prevent "illegal aliens" from taking advantage of the health care system.

I think something put the fear of Rahm into him.

The pathetic thing about what he's done is that there seems to be (from my reading) no clear way in the bill for illegal residents to be excluded, given how easy it is to defraud the system.

But now that issue can NEVER be discussed by the media. His behavior is the only issue people want to talk about.

Moving away from this cult member, what did we think of Obama's speech beside?

I thought it was brilliant, myself.

I thought it was fine. I think think his plan sounds decent, although I'm still fuzzy on the plans to keep people from going into bankruptcy because of medical bills. And I'm not holding my breath that this insurance exchange is really going to fix things either, but I'm going to try and remain optimsitic.

All that said, Obama has really solidified himself s the same "politics as usual" politician he claimed to deride in the campaign. That in and of itself isn't a huge tragedy, although although talk of how above it all he was obscured discussion of actual issues (which again, isn't really such a bad thing, since he's shown himself to be rather spineless and wishy washy) in the same way all the outbursts at the town hall meetings obscured actual debate.

We've got (at least) four years of this, folks. Better to get used to it now.

OHHHH...We're the boys of the chorus
We hope you like our show
We know you're rootin' for us
But now we have to go!

Second verse, same as the first...

So, is the outrage over him shouting out, or calling Obama a liar?

So this guy is all "they told me to apologize so I am" and the other guy who spanked the lobbyist is all "sorry about my comments". They're not sorry at all. Just ho-bags.

Whatever happened to acts of contrition?

Another thing I was unclear on was the "no federal funds for abortion" pandering proclamation. Does that mean that the mythical public option (or even these exchanges) will not allow women to use their coverage for abortion, even though abortion is a legal, legitimate medical procedure?

Yes Phyllis. There is a current federal law (The Hyde Act- named for the vile Illinois congressman, not Mt. Jeckyll's alter ego) that does not allow federal dollars to pay for an abortion, ever.

LOL!
