http://joewilson.house.gov - inactive, on 09/10/2009, -68/+503That gravy train is coming to an end, next election. ***** bigoted prick, which is the norm for Republicans.
- seltaeb4, on 09/10/2009, -36/+361The Republicans have become the Party of the Man-Child.
- JoeParanoid, on 09/10/2009, -29/+255So much for spontaneity. Imagine the outrage if a Democrat had yelled that at Bush during one of his speeches.
- MatthewDuke, on 09/10/2009, -24/+212*yawn* Type any congressman's name in OpenSecrets and you'll get generally the same result. Pelosi has received $104k from health professionals so far in 2009 according to that site. They are all the same.
- lordmike, on 09/10/2009, -7/+142$244,000 eh? Joe Wilson's Democratic challenger Rob Miller has almost raised that much in 24 hours. He's expected to reach at least a 3/4rs a million by the end of the week.
Dis'ing the president comes with a price. - magicmarker44, on 09/10/2009, -42/+174If a Democrat would've tried that during the Bush regime, Darth Cheney would've had him yanked from the floor and thrown in prison and waterboarded for being a traitor... The extreme hypocrisy of Republicans never ceases to amaze me. Bastards!
- rkthoadan, on 09/10/2009, -14/+131I just love how he accused Representative Filner of hating America for telling the truth about our selling weapons to Iraq. Apparently real Americans must stick their fingers in the ears and start singing Lalalalalalalalala whenever something not great is uncovered. I think it's Rep Wilson who has a problem with hate.
- billessig, on 09/10/2009, -1/+114Just heard on NPR that the office is having a very hard time keeping up with all the complaints.
- RavagesOfTime, on 09/10/2009, -17/+101Wilson/Bachmann 2012.
Don't put it past them. - 17999, on 09/10/2009, -13/+90Or tossed a shoe.
- inactive, on 09/10/2009, -35/+110another bought republican what a shocka
- TMFinept, on 09/10/2009, -8/+74What politician isn't a health industry darling? And an energy industry darling, and a pharmaceutical industry darling, and a banking industry darling, and, and, and...
- shallot, on 09/10/2009, -7/+69@akchrs : sane people listen to NPR...others like you listen to Rush and Beck...
- TobiasParker, on 09/10/2009, -3/+61He was an Iraqi, not a congressman.
- mparker21311, on 09/10/2009, -20/+75They'll just vote for another corrupt Democrat then get pissed at him/her and vote for another corrupt Republican.
When will we learn? - lordmike, on 09/10/2009, -8/+61He'd be immediately impeached and sent to Guantanimo.
- joe573, on 09/10/2009, -11/+62But the thing you are missing is that Pelosi and Obama are pushing for reform.
- QreepyBORIS, on 09/10/2009, -1/+42I was under the impression that group cheers and boos were fairly standard and accepted for presidential speeches. Group booing is at least better because it just shows general group disapproval--not everyone agrees with everything a president says, and that is fine and normal.
Being a heckler is a different story, though. Loudly spouting lies in the middle of a presidential address is as classless as you can get. That is not merely showing your disapproval; that is direct disrespect. - Seditio, on 09/10/2009, -6/+47Republicans aren't the only ones who are bought, don't kid yourself. Obama's largest contributors are banks. Go figure. Politicians as a whole are bought, not just republicans.

- woofers07, on 09/10/2009, -2/+40Glad to see his site's still down.
Copy of my email sent to Joe,
"So Joe,
Just curious what kind of bonus you'll be getting from your pharmaceutical/health insurance "donators" as a result of your immature interruption. Your attempt at starting a town hall type riot failed miserably and you ended up looking like a child in the process. Congrats.
Ryan _______" - CaughtThinking, on 09/10/2009, -3/+41But we don't do we. Instead we send Stephen Colbert to the fancy White House dinners to roast them.
Stay classy Repubs. - eShinn, on 09/10/2009, -7/+45Hey, didn't you say that McCain was going to win?
- magicmarker44, on 09/10/2009, -9/+47Booing and hissing is one thing (deserved by the way, and it's happened before not just to Bush), but calling the President of the United States a liar on the floor of the House while addressing Congress is way out of line and you know it!
- enantiodromia, on 09/10/2009, -6/+41*yawn*
- mparker21311, on 09/10/2009, -1/+36The party of Glen Beck?
- MaTT2011, on 09/10/2009, -4/+38@ aadyss :
Logic, its a really useful thing. Heres an example; countering one 'wrong' with another one doesn't lessen the attribute of 'wrongness' of the first....even if the second actually is wrong.
Heres another one: Pelosi has nothing to do with this story. Her being in the same room doesn't count. Your comment is a pathetic diversionary tactic at best and a blindingly idiotic one at worst.
Think before you post. ........The more you know. - FredFredrickson, on 09/10/2009, -12/+46You can't look at Bush's reputation and say he wouldn't deserve it though. Obama hasn't come close to that level of disrespect yet.
- dalittle, on 09/10/2009, -8/+41How many people could have had health care for $250k. What a waste of money on this guy.
- chockster, on 09/10/2009, -5/+38Pro tip: be concise.
- DougChristian, on 09/10/2009, -22/+54The President is a slightly higher office than South Carolina Representative.
Wilson raised a total of $1 million in the 2008 election, so his $250K from the health industry is a quarter of his total funding.
Obama raised $650 million. So his $360K from the health industry is 0.055 percent of his funding. And of that, only $60K came from PACs while the rest was from individual donations.
But don't let facts get in the way of your stupid thoughts. - jsatz23, on 09/10/2009, -16/+48I could now see this pig run for President and with the state of the GOP, him winning the nomination. Him and Sarah Palin, what is the difference? Lipstick?
- GeordieRacer, on 09/10/2009, -3/+34Just sent him a lovely email.
- ZenFountain, on 09/10/2009, -11/+41He'll just have to do what any good Republican does when faced with overwhelming "facts", shout a one liner like uhhh...wait let me think of one...YOU LIE!!!1111
- emkaysmith, on 09/10/2009, -3/+32He's a right-wing, fundamentalist, Republican officeholder from South freaking Carolina.
Would you like to give me odds that he's NOT a bigot? About the same as finding a zebra that's striped red, white, and blue.
/lifelong Southerner with numerous bigoted relatives - NJnorm182, on 09/10/2009, -1/+30I believe we're well overdue for a Mars-Attacks-style vaporization of Congress.
- amoro99, on 09/10/2009, -12/+40Let me see if I can help. Wilson is a bigot because the one issue that made him lose all composure and cry out like a little girl was his fear that some Mexican might get access to health-care, He could have lost it about Federally funded abortion or public option = socialism, or whatever wingnut crazy reason, but he chose to go ***** at the thought that Maria Gonzales might get federal assistance for her babies flu shots. That's what makes him a bigot.
- AndrewDB, on 09/10/2009, -4/+32tl;dr.
- inactive, on 09/10/2009, -7/+33... incompetent... Republicans.
Who is going to run against President Obama? - inactive, on 09/10/2009, -5/+30"black patriot"
That guy belongs to a church located in a strip mall and it's run by some lunatic. Do your homework. - jrapp, on 09/10/2009, -1/+26NAMBLA?
- Bombos, on 09/10/2009, -3/+28Canadians spend ~HALF as much on healthcare costs than the US: $3,678 compared to $7,290 (USD) per capita, yet Canada has a higher average life expectancy, lower infant mortality rate, even with fewer nurses and doctors per 1000 people. Moreover, Canada's healthcare costs as a percentage of the GDP is only10.1%, compared to 16% in the US. Less money is spent, but a greater portion by the government (70% of healthcare costs in Canada are covered by the government, compared to 46% in the US).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Canada ...
Canada has a better nation wide healthcare system by every measure. You should show some respect, it may just save your life one day. - jsep, on 09/10/2009, -9/+33But a Democrat didn't.
- QreepyBORIS, on 09/10/2009, -2/+24Oh...Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. For some reason I construed that as meaning the bands Rush and Beck. =/
- lordmike, on 09/10/2009, -3/+25How could private insurers be run out by a government plan when government is inherently incompetent at everything they do (according to conservatives)?
Anyone can buy insurance across state lines now... however, they can't duck regulations in their home state. What you are advocating is people buying junk insurance that doesn't cover anything, with no regulatory body watching over them when they deny every claim under the sun. Insurance companies would love to be able to murder at will without any consequences.
Remember, insurance companies exist to DENY CLAIMS not approve them!!! They add nothing to the process... I wish that they would be driven out of business by a public plan, but the public plans being offered are too weak to do that... - soccerman90, on 09/10/2009, -1/+23sounds like a role for Will Ferrell
- downneck, on 09/10/2009, -2/+23i'd switch to repub just to vote for them in the primaries.
dems could run a pair of black lesbians against that pair and have a reasonable chance. - forceflow2, on 09/10/2009, -7/+28@DougChristian There's a reason he said through 2006 and didn't include, you know, when he was actually running for President.
But don't let facts get in the way of your stupid thoughts. - AndrewDB, on 09/10/2009, -9/+30There's a difference between booing the President as a group during a state of a union, and calling the President's plan for a UNITED HEALTH CARE PLAN a liar as a solo person when you know DAMN well he's telling the truth.. http://mediamattersaction.org/factcheck/2009090900 ... unless of course, you didn't read the god damn memo.
