Wilson has nothing to gain and everything to lose if he grovels on the House floor....
(Fox News)- Rep. Joe Wilson said Sunday that he will not apologize on the House floor for his outburst during President Obama's health care address, even though Democratic leaders have threatened to formally discipline him if he does not.
Wilson noted that he already apologized directly to the White House after shouting, "You lie," to the president during his Wednesday address to a joint session of Congress. The outburst triggered a political firestorm, but Wilson told "FOX News Sunday" that Democrats are just "playing politics" by trying to drag out the issue and force another apology."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." Wilson said he would "never do something like that again," but continued to defend himself.

Wilson ought to dare them to try it. Anything they do will only make him more of a hero.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/11/09

It is certainly and abundantly clear who is the HFR Hero of the Week this week: Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina. Finally, a Republican in Congress who embodies speaking truth to power.
"You lie!" now takes its place in history along with "death panels" demonstrating the politically castrative power of two simple words. Sarah Palin's two words were a brilliantly limbic deligitimization of Zero's key program. Joe Wilson's two words were an emotional outburst that will deligitimize Zero's entire presidency.
Wilson is who all conservatives long for, a Republican with balls. The species is almost extinct. The chief of staff of a prominent Republican Congressman confirmed to me this morning that the GOP House leadership, Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor, demanded Wilson make a formal apology on the House floor - and that Wilson refused.
When the chief of staff started defending Cantor and blaming Wilson, I lost my temper. "When are you guys ever going to acquire a set of gonads? When are your brains ever going to be connected to your spines? Wilson is now a flat-out hero to millions! There will be You lie! signs throughout the 50,000 TeaParty marchers on the Mall tomorrow, You lie! bumper stickers on cars in every state, shouts of You lie! at every Town Hall held by a Democrat - or RINO. People are sick and tired of pussy wimp-out Republican limp dicks! When are you guys going to figure this out?!"
I don't know if he'll speak to me again. I've known him for years, but frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

This guys a bigot...just look at his past record.

Inform us, oh wise Peter.... don't just call him a name and run.
Have you seen the 'fact checks' of Obama's speech, performed by the AP and other liberal outlets? Even they point out several lies Obama told in that speech.
Is the word 'bigot' now a substitute for the truth? If there is any criticism of Obama's policies,even if written by whites and pushed by whites like Reid and Pelosi, you scream racism. How stupid of you.
Here is the definition of the word:
" * Main Entry: rac·ism
* Pronunciation: \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
* Function: noun
* Date: 1933
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination "
Since it is you and the rest of you leftist asshole that continually inject race into every move this President makes, YOU by DEFINITION (as indicated above) are the REAL RACISTS.
When you slammed Bush for 8 years, was it because you hate white men? When you slammed Colin Powell and Condolezza Rice as "house slaves" was that racist, or were you just criticizing their ideology?
You are a fucking idiot and I am truly regretful that you have decided to come back here after a long hiatus to provide us with your idiotic, hypocritical bullshit.

Peter, Peter, Peter -
Nobody cares anymore. You'll need to find another insult to hide behind.
"Racism" is dead as a door nail. You're just behind the times. Out of the mainstream. Marginalized. Delusional.
Hahahahahahahahahaha

Think for a moment about this. What if Wilson had said "You're wrong" instead of "You lie"?
Would they still call it an "outburst", rude, disgusting and all the rest? Would Boehner and Cantor still have forced him to apologize?
Yes. It's the politics of personal destruction on the Demturd side, the Politics of Appeasment on the Republoser side.
And why didn't the Republicrats give a rebuttle speach? With the exception of a few, it's because the Repub leadership is on the side of the Demturds. Plain and simple.
So then the question is, what's the quid pro quo for the Republicans? What do they expect to get out of appeasing Demturds? What's the deal? Who's getting what? Just how deep and how wide does this corruption go? Except for a few individuals, is the entire congress - reps and senators - on the take?
Yes. That would seem to be the case.

Logic escapes the likes of a Peter sandoz. Unless you're just venting, IMO, don't waste your valuable time. It's like trying to explain quantum physics to an ant.
