That’s the way to treat those corrupt hypocrites:
One apology is enough, a digging-in-his-heels Rep. Joe Wilson said Sunday, challenging Democratic leaders who want him to say on the House floor that he’s sorry for yelling “You lie!” during President Barack Obama’s health care speech to Congress.
The leadership plans to propose a resolution of disapproval this week if the South Carolina Republican doesn’t publicly apologize to Congress. Such a measure would put lawmakers on the record as condemning those two words, uttered during last Wednesday’s prime-time speech, that have become a fundraising boon for the defiant Wilson and his Democratic challenger.
Wilson said a resolution would show that Democrats simply wanted to play politics and divert attention from a health care overhaul that is lagging in Congress.
“I am not going to apologize again. I apologized to the president on Wednesday night. I was advised then that, ‘Thank you, now let’s get on to a civil discussion of the issues,'” Wilson said. “I’ve apologized one time. The apology was accepted by the president, by the vice president, who I know. I am not apologizing again.”
It was only barely necessary for Wilson to apologize in the first place – and not for what he said, but for where he said it. President Obama is lying – or is a complete fool. No one can increase the number of people covered and reduce costs at the same time – anyone who says such is a knave or a fool. Wilson finally let the cat out of the bag – we know darned well that Obama and his Democrats aren’t playing honestly in this health care debate, and all other debates…they are saying whatever poll-tested, focus-grouped words seem necessary to ram Obamacare through…and if those words are at variance with the facts, they simply don’t care. To Obama and his Democrats, winning is more important than honor. Wilson called them on it.
