A source on Rep. Joe Wilson's campaign says his fundraising has broken $1 million -- and surpassed that of his Democratic rival, Rob Miller -- since his outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama's address to Congress Wednesday. ---Snip--- Still, Wilson's success -- despite having been criticized by Republican leaders -- represents the power of the conservative grassroots to reward politicians who confront the White House in the sharpest terms.

I look at at this way: how much would I have been willing to pay a congressman to call out “You lie!” to Obama during his sermon? Probably a lot more than $100. That’s my contribution to Wilson so far, so I got a bargain as far as I’m concerned.
As a Wilson constituent, I can assure everyone that if Pelosi decides to “censure” Joe, he won’t have to run but one campaign ad: video of Pelosi’s screech.
And I just LOVE seeing the dems pour all that money to Miller, who hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of winning that race.
Maybe some of the Republicans will figure out that directly opposing Obama and the Socialists is a way to generate cash donations?
You know a tossed shoe now and again would be nice!!!
Just think of how much money a guy would get for throwing a shoe at him.
“This in effect says we don’t care what the GOP leadship thinks and we’ll have the back of those who ignore the GOP’s lead and stand up to Obama when they are in the right.”
Let’s hope this is wake up call for some of the spineless GOP leadership. Take a stand and you reap the benefits. $1MM in 3 days...you gotta love it. And by the way, wasn’t Reagan’s middle name Wilson?
WILLLLLLLLLSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!

"WILLLLSSOOOOOOON!"
I could care less what Ben Smith has to say.
But, but, NBC says he’s in trouble. (s
Oooo - I hope he mentions he unconstitutional and unaccountable Czars!
No More Czars!
and
No Taxpayer Money for Acorn, who tried to assist in the sex slave trade in underage girls!
Hahaha, that is perfect!
WooHoo!
Couldn’t agree more! Heard from the office of my Congressman that they were supporting Wilson fully in the caucus which lends credibility to it was the Senate side of the Congress going after Wilson. McCain and others have always been arrogant. Actually anyone part of the gang of 12 in the Senate from last time needs to be sent packing.

Tarred and feathered then rode out of town on a rail..The old timers had the right Idea.
