Joe Wilson should never have given an apology; bo is a pathological liar. I will detail the lies of bo another evening, I am still so angry. Karl Rove did an excellent job of detailing them; although he missed a few lies. bo just cannot help himself, he must lie to get what he wants. He believes the American People are not intelligent enough to see through the lies. He is such a narcissist and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants!

DOES ANYONE HAVE JOE WILSON'S EMAIL ADDRESS? Or know what state he is from? I would like to send him a congratulatory email?

Joe Wilson is from South Carolina. If you google his name you will get his website!

I was so excited when someone (I couldn't tell who at the time) called out, "You lie!", that I paused the DVR and called my husband's cell to see if I could catch him before he got to work. Someone on our side with some spunk! Some balls! Some fire! I just wish he hadn't apologized.

I am disappointed with Wilson's apology afterwards. But I guess that's part of the political game nowadays.

I applaud him for stepping up and apologizing for the unlawful outburst (it is forbidden by Congress for anyone to interrupt the President during a joint session of Congress), but the "You lie!" was 100% accurate. Judge Andrew Napolitano, a Constitutional scholar and Fox News contributor, said yesterday that no matter what the amendments added to the bill, which by the way were put in by Republicans and voted down by Democrats, the Constitution states that any and all Federal subsidies or entitlements can not be given to one group over another. ALL RESIDENTS of this country are eligible by Constitutional law. So, the rest of the discussion centered around those amendments are mute. Joe Wilson was speaking out against Obama's assertion that illegal aliens would not be covered because Wilson was on the committee that made the proposal for an amendment to assure that illegals would NOT be on the dole. He knew that the Democrats had unanimously shot it down. So, either Obama is ignorant of Constitutional law or he is LYING.

Might be different if he were a bonafide "president." Would also make a great deal of difference if he were not such a fake, fraud and a liar. Truth hurts... someone who has a conscience but not in his case. He could not give a *** because he has no conscience nor pride. "Intellectual," ... ROFLMAO!

I believe it`s also forbidden by congress to ignore and trample the Constitution, so here we are......

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and if calling the messiah a liar could somehow make our voices heard, maybe keep an armed resistence from having to happen, then all the better.

He had not reason to apologize, some people say the president should be respected at all times, I disagree. There are times you must speak the truth even if it is uncomfortable. Imagine if people had taken a stand to Hitler...instead of saying "he should be respected". Am I comparing Obama to Hitler? Yes I am. I actually applaud a man who can say the truth when it counts. And tell the Republican party to leave him alone...they lack the guts to do anything at all.

Does anyone know here that the rules of conduct in Congress prohibit any kind of interruption during a presidential speech? There are heavy penalties involved, including expulsion. Pelosi, as Speaker, had the political wits not to extend punishment following the apology. That would have caused more partisan wars. Booing and laughing can't be considered a major offense since both sides engage in it often, as members of Parliament do in England (with gusto). The only effective and lasting strategy we have (if indeed we are yearning for "our country back") to defeat Obama and Socialist Washington is to stick to the rules we all cherish and uphold and drive them out through unquestionable, constitutional and legal venues. The left wing media had a field day all day yesterday dumping on the Senator. That's ALL they have right now. Let's take that kind of opportunity away from them and run their butts out by being smarter and above board in everything we do. This is a plea to all Conservatives who can't wait to turn this country around. The means sometimes justify the ends of some wars however, and if the Senate attempts the nuclear option (Reconciliation Act) to pass any of the health care reform bill through, I will be the loudest, rudest protester in the country and would encourage our Representatives in Washington to do the same. RULES BE DAMNED!!!!!!

You can email him here: http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm#South%20Carolina
He is a Senator out of the state of South Carolina, I know his email has been getting overwhelmed we need to keep supporting him.

Vote out your representatives that said he should apologize! Why should he have to apologize for stating the truth??
