Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) speaking truth to power….
I’d link to the Congressman’s website but it seems to be out of commission at the moment.
Gotta love that whole First Amendment free speech thing, eh?

Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) speaking truth to power….
Gotta love that whole First Amendment free speech thing, eh?
There is a speech that clinton made to the pentagon that vindicates everything Bush had to do .
google , Remarks by the president on iraq to pentagon personnel, February 17, 1998. Clinton explains how dangerous Sadam , and why we need to do something about him.
Great speech but we all know he got a pat on the back for making the speech and did nothing but hinder the cia after that. I have copies of this speech and hand it to my libtard friends when they start talking bull. WMD was most likely removed by Russian Special Forces in the year or more it took us to get agreement to invade iraq. Russians were there when we invaded , a defector of russian air force said he helped fly alot out in passenger jets , retrofitted to carry lg. amounts of wmd.
could not fit this in on the edit side, but remember the Russians have always tormented the United States, in secret or not and then sat back and pretend they haven’t done a thing against us.
They have been urging the middle east against us since the 30’s and earlier, starting propaganda , blame america because you live in the sand, see how rich she is she took it from you , B.S. They get us all kinds of trouble and they set back with complete deniability.
off subject a sec.
We made a mistake putting in all the oil fields and not running them. We were to polilte and set them up and said, hey we can buy some of this oil, right. The Brits would have kept control and maybe keep alot of the wealth out of terrorist hand. I read that is why king , i think his name was Faad at the time not sure, picked the USA to put in the fields because he knew we never colonized and took over as the brits tended to do.
So anyway, iraq is another way the russians jump into our business to embarass the States again in the eyes of the world. and where would they be without us. The way things are going maybe they will get to find out.
Read the Looming Tower, by Lawrance Wright. The book shows how it all started between the middle east and the West. Sometimes i wish i never read some of these books, it was much easier not knowing the facts, kind of like the libs. Just want money , other peoples money, and power, to hell with the facts.
@Galloway:
Thanks for sharing and welcome.
One can also use the search function right here to find many pieces authored by another Galloway, ChrisG, one of my favorites of his is…Why Iraq? Covers everything, the Russian connection, wmd, al Qaeda/Saddam and much, much more:
Ion Pacepa, former KGB, tells how Russia helped remove wmd before OIF began, this is another article from another post of his:

People come in here all the time and spout their talking points not realizing what we have been gifted with by our authors, they quickly make fools of themselves and are toyed with, but of course, they don’t know that.
There were so many lies said by our Resident last night that it is really hard to pick just one, but you have to remember one thing- this is the party where they have trouble, apparently, in defining what the definition of the word”is” is-
So it is really not too surprising that the WON has a hard time knowing what the truth is, because for him, the truth is malleable, something he can mold to fit the occasion and audience.
Not true, Mr. Resident- I would call you liar also, but louder and more often.
n a side note, did anyone see Botox Nan’s face? It actually moved!
And apparently this morning, as well. Sounds like a replay-recycle synopsis of the parts of the speech I heard last night…
…which in itself sounds like the same old, same old divisive, partisan campaign-mode talking points he’s been making for the past couple of months.
From Instapundit:
“It was a breach of decorum and civility. But someone who says ‘get in their face’ and ‘punch back twice as hard’ has little standing to bring that up. If you want to benefit from traditions of civility, you should respect them, and that has hardly been a hallmark of this administration, which has gone out of its way to try to demonize and shout down opponents.”
Congressman Joe Wilson will give those Obama haters on the right a woodie, and at the same time showing disrespect to the President of the United States he looses everyone else. Wilson’s opponent in the next election has raised $100,000 overnight.
The fact is…he DID lie. More than that, he KNEW that he was lying, not just about illegals, but other points as well.
Just on illegals being covered… What changed was, and what all the sycophants are spewing as the new talking point, (and I suspect was added for just that purpose), is the following:
H.R. 3200: Sec 246 – NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS: Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
I see it all over the blogs this morning and about 50 times in Youtube video comments. They say Obama was correct because Section 246 of the House Bill excludes illegals from receiving Individual Affordability Credits. That is true, and one of the few exceptions under the Bill. But it is the exception which proves the rule. IAC’s are just one small part of the benefits covered in the bill. If the standard is the full House Bill, HR3200, then it appears that Obama was lying through his teeth. There is nothing in HR3200 that excludes illegal aliens from any of the OTHER various coverage provisions (with a few limited exceptions).
As Aye states above, the Congressional Research Service agrees with this assessment. The full report is linked here:
Treatment of non citizens in HR 3200
http://assets.opencrs.com/rpts/R40773_20090825.pdf
It’s not that long a report, and I highly recommend it be read. It deals just with the question of illegals.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS), is the public policy research arm of the United States Congress. It’s a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress, CRS works exclusively and directly for Members of Congress, their Committees and staff. Their job is to “interpret” bills for idiot legislators too lazy or ignorant to either read them themselves or understand them if they actually do…
For example, with regard to health care exchanges, the CRS found:
H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitzens—whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently—participating in the Exchange.
As the CRS found, illegal aliens can participate in virtually ALL of the critical aspects of the government health system including the health care exchanges. Since Obama wanted a full House vote passing HR3200 prior to the August recess, Obama was okay with a bill that included illegal aliens. Will these provisions be in a final bill? Count on it. They are designed to not just cover illegals, but to fast track amnesty as well.
How do I get there?
Obama added another new section last night, and to me, it’s a marvel of duplicity; mandatory compliance. EVERYONE has to have insurance. More than being (IMHO) unconstitutional, it appears to have a more nefarious purpose. If everyone has to have insurance, it will be interesting to see how long the exclusion of illegal aliens from getting the credits lasts, since as the CRS notes, illegal aliens are subject to the health care mandate; one can anticipate the argument that if the House Bill requires illegals to have qualified health insurance, some accommodation needs to be made for those who cannot afford it. What might that accommodation be, I wonder…
I bet La Raza and other groups representing illegals that are pushing so hard for this legislation know…
Amnesty. With Obama, you always watch the other hand, not the shiny thing he’s showing…

Hey Blast- I live in Texas, but I just sent Joe Wilson 100 dollars- Hell, I woulda paid that much to say that myself. The facts are that He LIES, period. The fact that he is the Resident doesn’t make a bit of difference. You have to call the liars on their lies, or they begin to believe that they can get away with their BS, and this guy is a BIG BSer, maybe the biggest.
And I never heard outrage when the Demmies were Booing Bush in the 2005 State of the Union Speech- where was your outrage then?
Wardogs- the mandatory compliance was always there in HR3200-, including giving the IRS the power to go into your bank accounts and withdraw whatever they felt was “your fair share”.
Oh, so that makes it right? Booing the President of the US is wrong, whether it be Bush or Obama or whoever comes next.
Wilson will need your money, give him more.
Wilson apologized for his actions, why apologize if he did nothing wrong?
@Wordsmith:
Here’s another sick lie he walked into the hallowed hall and told, one he’s repeated:
From Obama’s speech:
And, the rest of the story:

Considering that obama was smearing Republicans and lying about them and their positions, JW’s response was understandable. To get respect you must give it.
Any more, I’m going to handle such things like the dems do. I’m going to excuse it.
Blast- I am guessing that Rep. Wilson has more respect for THE OFFICE of the presidency than Demmies do- I know I damn sure do not respect the man who sits in that office, that’s for sure. He has proven to be a liar, straight up, and that’s just the good side of him.
As I said, I would not apologize, but then I have a very Low BS tolerance, and a disability I call “Voluntary Tourette’s”, so Hussein would have heard a lot more from me.
That is why I am not a Politician.
@wardogs:
I think some don’t get it. It’s like a u-turn. Legal unless otherwise indicated.
Awe, come on you Conservatives, this should be a bi-partisan Bill, your spoiling the moment with all this decent. It’s easy, have you ever went to buy a car? Remember the nice man that told you all about the car, you know the honest one who would never lie about a nice ole lady owning it.
It’s easy, just put your brain to sleep, fall in line behind the Pied Piper Obama, and sing Kum-by-Ya and drink the cool aide when it’s handed to you…
