Catching up slowly...
Less than a day after Rep. Joe Wilson formally apologized to President Obama over his "you lie" outburst, a campaign aide confirms to CNN the South Carolina Republican has raised "more than $200,000″ in the wake of the now-infamous moment.
News of that cash haul comes after Wilson directly asked in a Web video for campaign cash to fend off attacks from political opponents and said he's standing by his opposition to Democratic efforts at health care reform.
"On these issues, I will not be muzzled, I will speak up and speak loudly against this risky plan," Wilson said in a YouTube video released Thursday evening. "The supporters of the government takeover of health care and the liberals who want to give health care to illegals are using my opposition as an excuse to distract from the critical questions being raised about this poorly conceived plan."

Ping.
I donated a little bit.
He got $20 from me. I wish more members of Congress would “misbehave”, if it would stop the billions and trillions of deficit borrowing and printing, concurrent with the loss of our freedoms.
Please check the site daily. Your name might be on the list. Thank you.
(That ain't name calling. The Sixties Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble really have taken over the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party. Under the hail of "neo-con" taunts many Democrats fled the Party.)

Fast-forward to about 45:50 to see it. And at 46:05, take careful note of who you see in the lower left corner of the frame.
Hint: he didn't vote "present" this time.
Congress is demanding Joe Wilson apologize to them on the floor.
What an opportunity for Joe to say what needs to be said.
1. I apologize for not speaking out sooner.
2. I apologize that the American people have been victimized by this anti-American Congress
3. I apologize that hard working Americans are now afraid for their lives and livelihood because of this President.
4. I apologize to good Americans who trusted their representatives to ... REPRESENT THEM!
5. I apologize to future generations for the debt and bondage with which this Congress has shackled them.
6. I apologize to the Constitution of the United States for the offenses Congress has perpetrated against it.
7. I apologize to the Military who fight and die defending a nation of whiners, socialists and beggars.
I sent him 25$ and if he keeps talking the talk I’ll send him more. He is spot on with his criticisms.
I’m trying to donate now, but Joe’s donation site won’t allow it to be processed unless I enter a cell phone number, which I don’t have. Any suggestions on how to bypass this....
Never mind.....entering all zeroes did made it go through.
Hopefully, the more the Dems push for Wilson’s apologies on teh House floor, the more he’ll collect. I’d like to see Wilson get 10x this amount.
Enter your home phone # again?
I could have done that :-)
— entering all zeroes work as well.
How much more would you think he’d have gotten if he never apologized????????????
Woo hoo!!! 200k and the scum has only raised 300k.
LET’S NOT GLOAT ABOUT THIS
We should allow the liberals to think that they have done “enough” to help Wilson’s opponent and go to sleep.
We should allow people to continue to respond to the threat to Wilson. Don’t let it turn into an arms race.
Word is that Wilson’s opponent was $400,000 IN THE HOLE (debt) so he has not even raised enough money to pay off his debts.
So we don’t want this to stimulate the liberals any more.
If you’ve been following the news, Joe Wilson had a “UH-OH, DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?” moment during last night’s speech by Barack Obama on health care.
Wilson said out loud — DID NOT SHOUT — “You lie!” when Obama lied about the health care bill and illegal aliens. It was audible throughout the hall... but NOT that loud, actually.
Wilson told the truth, but it was not the “polite” time and place to say it. It was not proper ettiquette.
Wilson immediately called the White House to apologize. He offered to talk to the President, but spoke to his Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel and apologized that very night.
The non-partisan Congressional Research Service, an agency of Congress within the Library of Congress, has analyzed the bill HR 3200 and determiend that illegal aliens WILL be eligible to receive free benefits from American citizens under the health care reform bill.
Republicans proposed amendments to make sure that illegal aliens would not be getting free benefits when they are not even supposed to be in the USA. Democrats voted those amendments down.
Two of the tricks are that there is no mechanism by which anyone administering the progrmas can KNOW if someone is an illegal alien. Since they are not allowed to find out if somone is an illegal alien, there is no way to keep illegal aliens from feeding at the trough.
Secondly, the application of any government program follows ALL THE LAWS. All the laws get combined together and applied jointly under government programs. So even if this bill does not expliclity say that illegal aliens can participate, OTHER LAWS ALSO APPLY.
In response, the Left has targeted Joe Wilson for destruction.
Reportedly, the Left has gone crazy, and Wilson’s Democrat Opponent has received $250,000 in donations in the last 24 hours alone.

“That ain’t name calling. The Sixties Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble really have taken over the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party.”
Very true, but many just don’t understand that change has actually taken place, and in their political cocoon, and in their naivety continue support.
The efforts to expose the “Sixties Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble” are commendable, and should not be considered a lesser priority. Expose them sufficiently, and it will go viral. Once people know their true enemy, they will reject them.
Please email this to him.
I already sent it to him.

I really wish all Republicans and Conservatives would stop referring to this as health care reform. That is NOT what Democrats are trying to do. It is a government takeover of health care - or even nationalization of health care.
Nothing Democrats have proposed to date in any shape or form is reform.
To reform - as defined in the dictionary:
To improve by alteration, correction of error, or removal of defects; put into a better form or condition.
