This guy may end up fundraising more than any other candidate in 2010. He did the right thing, offered his apology, and now is standing his ground and using the opportunity to reinforce his original opinion.
This is exactly the way to do it. If George Allen would have done this same thing post-macaca, he would have won re-election and possibly been president right now.

I agree with Joe Wilson, but his outburst played right into their hands......the issue is now Joe Wilson and not their idiotic health care bill. that’s why Pelosi wants to keep this alive.

He had absolutely nothing to apologize for. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest owe us apologies.

Bowing down to the Propagandists in media and Commies in government is a bad idea.

"I've apologized one time. The apology was accepted by the president, the vice president. ... I am not apologizing again," he told "FOX News Sunday." "
The dems just want him to kiss their collective @sses, and he's telling them to "shove it". That should be worth a few hundred thousand more in donations to his candidacy. Tims are hard, but everybody needs to send 5-bucks...that would add up quick.

Pelosi does not want him to apologize. She wants him to self-immolate. And if he won’t do it, she will gladly provide the gasoline and match herself.

Actually, I'd love for him to announce that he will apologize, then stand before the House and launch into a diatribe against the lying SOB in the White House. He'd get national coverage. (A bit reminisent of Galileo's recantation in which he finished by quietly saying (about the Earth) "But it
does move."
And the Republicans should be positioned to back him up to the hilt.
But that would never happen.

Time to give this man a few more dollars. We have helped raise over $700,000 dollars. The left has given his challenger over a million. Cant we do better than that? http://joewilsonforcongress.com/
I'm all for giving him some more money, but as we see the LEFT CAN'T COUNT. So I don't trust their numbers.

Let Pelosi and Reid apologize for claiming the CIA and W lied first. And then apologize for the Porkulus spending.

Apologies to the president and the vice-president are more than enough. Anything more is over-kill.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
The GOP has been looking for a leader. If Wilson handles this right, he might be the leader. He needs to use this as an opportunity to get up on his soap box. Throw it back in Pelosi’s face.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
This new White House, like wimpy cousins of Stalin, are trying to create these little symbolic mini-show trials, and this is perhaps their first real opportunity.
Wilson will not apologize further, and he probably sees that he shouldn’t have at the beginning: his initial apology only gives them reason to believe he’s guilty. that he thinks he’s guilty, and that he’s therefore vulnerable and ripe for further humiliation at their hands. They’re aware he’s getting massive contributions; that must really raise their hackles. Don’t know whether this will be dropped eventually, but I kinda sense it will.

Good for him. He gets my 100$ as a result. It was pending until it was clear to me he would be drug through the mud again and humiliated. I have mixed feelings about contributing in the first place, but seeing what the enemy wants to do to him, well then, time to JOIN THE BATTLE
