I don't see how it is an embarrassment for someone to speak their mind. That's the problem with this administration, again trying to take away the rights of people to have free speech.

The left is so into "we should be like the rest of the world" crap. The British Parliament acts like this all the time. Guess we like their healthcare plan, but to the heck how they treat their Prime Minister!

But for you to say he is not fit to be a congressman and that a Marine Vet who is backed by a democratic "grassroots" (as opposed to "astroturf") organization "ActBlue" should take his place, is just a knee jerk reaction.

I live in SC....I don't know much about Joe Wilson. I know he's been taking to the shed outback and had the crap beat out of him last night by other members of Congress including Sen. Lindsey Graham.

LOL! Lovely thought!

Again, I ask. If some "amnesty" bill for the illegals is passed at some time in the future, will that not make them eligible at that time?......

I think it's just further proof of how the real majority of Americans feel
The "real majority"? Only $50,000?

Reid Calls Bush a 'Loser' - washingtonpost.com

You said, "President Bush is a liar. He betrayed Nevada and he betrayed the country."

Is that rhetoric appropriate?

SEN. REID: I don't know if that rhetoric is appropriate. That's how I feel, and that's how I felt.

Default Yes sir!

“No president has ever been treated like that. Ever,” Rahm Emanuel.

“I think we ought to treat the president with respect,” said Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky (Republican).

R E S P E C T.

I didn't hear that from any Repubs recently. I Think John Mccain was the last one.

You know if this illegal immigration thing is such a big deal for this guy, since he made an unprecedented outburst and disrepected the POTUS along with disrespecting the democratic process and the people of the USA, he should talk to whomever is in his party that is on one of the 5 committees that are crafting the bill and demand that they insert language in there to prevent illegals from obtaining any benefit from the bill. That is what I would believe he was voted in for instead of making childish outbursts.

As far as I know, illegals would retain the same availability of health coverage that they already have. To be honest, all of this talk about illegals not getting health care in America is a ripe prescription for an even worse health crisis in America. I prefer for anyone who is sick to be able to be treated so that they do not pass whatever they have on to others.

You don't understand repubs, they do NOT want those with communicable diseases to stop spreading them around.

They do NOT want affordable comprehensive health care IF anyone but them reaps the benefits....ya, it stupid but that's what America is up against.
