Joe Wilson fundraising efforts kick off -what a coincidence


Good Ol Boy Joe Wilson takes fast road to fame

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joe Wilson fundraising has kicked off and like I said in my last piece the campaign started  for him after his  Barack Obama you lie "staged event" . Looks like cheap skate Joe wanted a little free publicity to kick of his election , problem is he broke some Congressional code of conduct rules to get all this publicity as of late . Are more politicians going to use this same tactic to get media exposure which is at a premium in this economy . Joe Wilson should be fined at the minimum 2 million dollars  for insulting the President in public . 

Don't get caught up in South Carolina conservative politics , there pretty racially charged but this was not about race , just keep it simple and go along with my theory .

Joe Wilson was pretty much a  nobody  congressman until now as far as national exposure , he was one of the most outspoken critics of African American Essie Mae Washington-Williams claims of  being South Carolina segregationists Strom Thurmond's daughter.

This is the new breed of Republican , fast talking , hard charging ,and  rebel yelling . There leading the conservative revolution  and rebuilding of Republican party ,  taking right wingers to the cleaners one more time for old times sake .

I think Barack Obama should challenge Ol Jim wilson to a duel

    Oh, so Joe broke the House Rules of decorum? I say good for Joe. Harry the Schmuck Reid can call Prtesident Bush - while he was in office, an idiot and the worst Prez in history. That's not a problem. So now, let's split hairs and distinguish what is said on the floor of Congress and what is said to the mainstream media. Obama's inadequacies as Prez are apparent to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. While I was duped to vote for him the last time around, I and millions of others see the errors of our ways. Trust me, we won't be making the same mistake the next time.

    Regarding your lamebrained comment: "Joe Wilson should be fined at the minimum 2 million dollars for insulting the President in public" -- you want to live in a society where you're punished for what you SAY to the DEAR LEADER? You'd love the old East Germany. What about Bush's State of the Union address when the entire democrat side booed?

    Congressman, hopefully, when Governor Sanford resigns, you'll leave right along with him. And Beauregard, then you won’t have to turn in your white sheet and relinquish your clan membership. If I gave in to my emotions on Wednesday night,you would have been tarred and feathered and forced out of Congress.
    And Mike, you're wrong; he is a real redneck and a racist and a bigot. A rose by any other name...

    Easy to say but the facts are against you. IF they really matter to you. "To try to win a race" you say? Lets look at his last election shall we? Here is 2008 election funding for Wilson and his opponent.
    Joe Wilson 55% of the vote. Rob Miller 45% of the vote.
    www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?id=SC02&cycle=2008

    Rob Miller is his opponent in 2010.
    Here is the Federal Election Commission data available electronically on Friday, July 17, 2009.

    Joe Wilson
    Raised: $284,219
    Spent: $103,903
    Cash on Hand: $211,604
    Last Report: June 30, 2009

    Rob Miller
    Raised: $67,949
    Spent: $24,094
    Cash on Hand: $48,974
    Last Report: June 30, 2009

    So he really does not have a hard fight.

    Looks like poor Obama and friends lose the services of their Numero Uno Community Agitator group ACORN. This may just be enough to shed some light on their books and on the books of their sister group SEIU.
    If Obama loses them he is TOAST Well Done.

    Most of you are missing the point by arguing from your own narrow political perspective.

    The country is going down in flames as the President Barry O. employs Alinksky power tactics to propagate a series of factual misrepresentations (e.g. "lies") regarding his health care agenda (FYI, President Sotero has yet to offer up a bill, only ~$900 billion in concepts).

    Rep. Wilson vocalized what many folks, from all stripes and persuasions, were yelling at their TV screens. Un-opposed, un-challenged lies - one after the other, from a podium once respected and reserved for political discourse - not pointed insults at vocal opposition.

    One final question - where's the acknowledgement that despite its faults we still have the greatest health-care system in the world? A shout out for tireless physicians and nurses who save our lives daily? Or acknowledgement of the existence of the vocal majority of 52% of this country who oppose Obama-care (e.g. HR 3200) as it currently stands?

    Just how many people did Obama call liars in his speech?

    He started his speech off by addressing everyone including the American public. So I want an apology from Obama for talking to me as though I was one of his uninformed minions...who he feels he can lie to with no repercussions.

    What I enjoyed most about Joe Wilson calling Obama a liar...is how it rocked Obama's world. He had got so use to lying and pursing his words without anyone holding him accountable...that when it finally did happen...he looked like he was going to cry.

    TO WWGBD:

    Thank you for stating the accurate Cash on Hand for Joe Wilson and Rob Miller as of June 30, 2009. As of 6:00 p.s. CST today Rob Miller now has $822,191. I can't find out Joe Wilson has raised since Wednesday, but I am sure it must be pretty substantial, too.

    Clifford - if you're going to have a blog, then please use spell check and learn proper grammar. It makes you appear quite unintelligent.

    And good for Joe! I just got done donating to his campaign. All he did was say what everyone else KNOWS.

    Obama is heading for either a total collapse, or impeachment.

    Soon, we will have our country back!

  • Billfromvegas 2 years ago

    So what is the real truth? Does the bill cover illegal aliens or not? It would seem to me that if Obama was telling the truth the bill would contain language that would preclude illegal aliens from getting coverage. But wait, doesn't every state in the union have laws that say that you cannot be denied treatment because of your alien status. What kind of morals would we have if did not treat the critically injured or dying just because they were illegal? So I guess you could say that old Joe was right when he said Obama lied. Obama knew what he was saying, he just didn’t tell us the whole truth. The truth is, the bill won't have any language in it to treat illegal aliens. The language is in the laws already written in every state to medically treat illegal aliens. The bill just won’t have any language to deny treatment so effectively they will be treated.

    Hey Gus,
    I'm from SC and guess what. The illegals that should never be there or in ANY state for that matter go to the hospital or the free clinic. They are not ever left to fend for themselves. But the working class, who are here legally are footing the bill for them. We are a caring nation, but this must stop now...way to go Joe!

    First of all, if you are a reporter, you need to learn English. You have so many mistakes, it was hard to read. You also need to learn punctuation since you don't know when to use commas, etc. What about the Dems booing Bush in his speeches? Where was the "decorum" then? Where was the outrage? Nothing was ever said by you libs! No, that's Ok. But when the President is obviously lying to us, and someone calls him on it, that's
    just terrible! There are two sets of rule - one for you liberals and one for true Americans! I'm donating to Wilson right now.

    Joe Wilson said what most of us at home and most of the congress people with any sense were thinking. Everyone in that room, including Pres. Obama knew that most of the statements Obama made were "misrepresentations". Obama and most of congress think we are ignorant and stupid. When we had to rely on "big media", we were ignorant. We were never stupid !
