Pelosi: ‘It’s Time For Us To Talk About Health Care And Not Mr. Wilson’

I’m sure Nancy and co. would love to punish or sanction Mr. Wilson in some way (and he deserves it), the hypocracy would be laughable. Pelosi and her fellow Dems spent 8 years in an apparent contest to see who could say the most vile, despicable things about former President Bush. She could hardly claim to be “shocked” or “saddened” or “offended” by such a show of disrespect to President Obama. What goes around comes around, I guess.

I think its time for us to get Polosi out of there. She is guilty of thinking she can spend what ever she wants on aircraft to fly her pals and families everywhere. Talk about waste.

It looked like she had bolts of lightning coming out of her eyes. I wouldn’t want to be in Wilson’s shoes.

It isn’t what he said that is the issue. It is when he said it! It isn’t hypocracy to sanction anyone for an outburst in the chambers because it isn’t tolerated from anyone.

@ Ken, I guess if they were playing tick for tack like Kindergarteners, it would be appropriate. But since we’ve graduated college and most grad school,we must follow proper protocol. We’re talking about during the address, not afterwards or before, but during. There’s a huge difference. ANNNND, Wilson’s point has been proven to be a lie in itself. Unless he’s ready to expose the truth about the “illegals”, which I doubt, because his compadres’ will have a hissy fit. They’re scapegoats just like other minorities; simply used to kill a bill they don’t like.

No matter what side of the aisle you sit, disrespecting the Commander in Chief is uncalled for. Joe Wilson acted like he was sitting in some 4th grade class. I can just see it if Democrats had been so rude during one of Bush’s speechs trying to sell us on Iraq.

In the 8 years of the BushCo pres not ONE SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS HECKLED HIM. Despite obvious lies and political shenanigans.
Hilarious part of this whole debacle, no one needs health care more than the repub party. They are a dying breed.
I was going to write a comment but this was is so good I gave it a re-run!

one more thing – Mr. Wilson was factually wrong. He symbolizes the sore loser, no idea party. Sorry Obama grave dancers. Our guy is back and healthcare reform will happen. The economy will be in better shape next year and the repubs will not make much gains in Congress in 2010. Then, in 2012, they will run a fool like Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich or Cantor.
Get used the wilderness. You over reached again this August.

Sandra: More like no one was listening the first time so you had to say it again.

I think it would be highly beneficial for Democrats to continue talking about Wilson’s antics. Keep the image in the public’s mind of an opposition who thinks nothing of disrespecting the President of the United States in the halls of Congress.

In almost every other Democratic country the responsibility for National Health Care is gladly shared by the entire population; that’s what makes it work. In our country, the extreme upper class (who have a ceiling on how much tax they must pay) do NOT want to put up their share. It was all over their faces last night. I do understand why they love their money so much, but even though the upper 2% don’t have to worry about their sick and elderly, it is time for them to join the rest of us in insuring the care for all who are in need. This is not about Obama (though it is very much about the polarization of our country). The Republicans have always chosen to represent big business and the upper class–not the populous. Each election year the Republicans rant that the Democrats are guilty of ‘tax and spend’ policies. Why don’t the people recognize this fancy footwork for what it is. Here’s the truth: Democrats do tax big business and the rich, and they do spend on the many programs which aid and assist the other 98% of the population. The Republicans call this “growing government.” They have made doing things that benefit all of us, sound like something bad. Know this: the Republicans represent large corporations with billions of dollars which drive the lobby system (and consequently the lawmaking process), so as to effect changes that suit their own increased profits. I ask everyone, haven’t we seen enough of what happens when we let large corporations make policies that are only in their best interest? But the Republicans are very cagey; and they are great at pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people [almost half of the country voted Republican for Bush’s second term]. The behavior of Joe Wilson, and the faces of his cohorts, said it all to me last night; they’ll do or say anything to keep from having to foot their part of the bill for something they don’t need. The fact that the GOP represents the economy-gouging corporations, and not the people, wa s once common-knowledge; but common-knowledge, like its cousin common-sense, are apparently no longer common.

Dewey- Go to State of the Union Address in 2005. The Dems Boo’d the President. You and the President need to stop spreading LIES

Time to censure him, Nancy! No president deserves that type of disrespect – not to mention on national television.

Why doesn’t Sarah Palin let everyone know that the end-of-life-counseling was first proposed by Republicans. In the 2003 Medicare Prescription Bill, it was voted on by a huge majority of Republicans. Hypocrite!

Congressman Joe Wilson, Republican of South Carolina has a legitimate concern. He does not want foreigners to get free medical care at US taxpayer expense. His concern is EXTREMELY JUSTIFIED because the Republican governor of South Carolina is having sex with a woman from Argentina — and he’s concerned she may show up in a South Carolina hospital wanting pre-natal care — (or horrors!) — an abortion.

If you libs have to use Wilson’s outburst for a second wind…then youre in trouble.

Pelosi is right that the focus should be health care centered, not Joe Miller.
1.Obama did lie and that wasn’t even the biggest lie of the evening. Read the fact check summaries.
2.Obama said nothing to alter or the health care mess. He offered noting new of substance. He totally failed to take ownership and responsibility for the health Care legislation. Zero leadership.
It’s a pathetic commentary if the best talking point Dems and their media shills can advance in the health care debate is Joe Miller.

Mr. Wilson is ONE person who disrespected the president, Congress and the American people. But, he and he alone did the act. No one else applauded for him, cheered him or joined him. Members of both parties did, however, let him know their extreme displeasure. He does NOT represent all Republican politicians nor all Republican citizens. Please stop trying to brand all because of one. It just makes those who do look like childish, immature brats!

What hypocrites the Democrats are. They were booing Bush at most of his messages in the Chamber. This just goes to prove that they really lack ideas, or simply want to steal McCain’s or other’s ideas. Wilson didn’t swear, or use urban slang that is so prominent among a major portion of the Democrat’s base. Two words….a mountain out of a mole hill. In the meantime, there is something called freedom of speech, Ms. Pelosi…

Speaker Peolosi: It’s time to multi-task. THE U.S. CONSITUTION, under Article 1, Section 5[2] states: “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members fof disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.” Senator Joe Wilson should be censured for his outburst as the U.S. Constitution allows. Wilson swore an oath to uphold the Consitiution, no matter how “emotional” he claims to have been. Joe Wilson violated this Constitution and should be reprimanded through censure by the U.S. House of Representatives. NOW.

It’s not that illegals will not get health protection. If you hire an illegal – then he will probably have health coverage. So somewhere along the line we are going to have to make it illegal to hire and illegal (oh, gee we already have a law that says it’s illegal to hire and illegal).

Dk,
The best part of last night’s speach was the look on pelosi’s face when wilson made his comment. Priceless. That women looked like she had a pogo stick up her rear the way she kept bouncing out of her seat every time obama opened her mouth.
_______________________________________
So true!

I think this comment deserves repeating…
While what Wilson did was wrong, how quick are the dems to forget about booing Bush during his State of the Unioin address. I guess it’s ok for them to express their displeasure, but how wrong of Mr. Wilson to do it?

It’s funny how you can read the comments and know who are dems and who are repubs.I didn’t hear any dems heckle Bush about weapons of mass destruction.Wilson showed how ignorant he was however;wilson only acted on what the other republicans acted like.Booing,not clapping,waving papers and not standing up like little kids embarassing their state..YES I’M A REPUBLICAN.

Some idiot blabbers about disrespecting the President of the United States, one who continually lies to the American people. He is not entitled to respect merely by sitting in the Oval office, he needs to earn it, and he hasn’t. Pelosi is a national disgrace and, at best, should be institutionalized because she”s a lunatic.

No Ms. Pelosi, it is time to talk about creating jobs for Americans, with millions out of work, and NOTHING being done about that problem, whatsoever.
Get the priorities straight, and recognize that Baucus cannot fine families who have no income, for not buying health care!

I never thought I would see the day when I would agree with anything Pelosi said…. ugh… so it pains me to say…she’s right… enough about Wilson, time to talk health care!!!!!

We’re gonna put that Boy in his place.We ain’t gonna vote for nothin he wants and if he agree to what we want,we’re gonna change our minds about what we want.Lair ain’t the only thing we call him.

I-vote – You said “THE U.S. CONSITUTION, under Article 1, Section 5[2] states: “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members fof disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.” Senator Joe Wilson should be censured for his outburst as the U.S. Constitution allows. Wilson swore an oath to uphold the Consitiution, no matter how “emotional” he claims to have been. Joe Wilson violated this Constitution and should be reprimanded through censure by the U.S. House of Representatives. NOW” ++++++ Way to show us all what you don’t know. The house has nothing to do with Senators, the Senate does.

Joe is the LIAR, and his counterparts too. Will someone please tell me what has President Obama lied about in the 8 months he’s been President.

I’m glad for what Mr. Wilson did–more power to him…I do think the others that believe as he does(count me in ) should have stood up and applauded him!!!!!!! GO JOE!!!!!!!

you go joe wilson. you will be remembered for stoping illegal immigrants from profiting on health care in the u.s. even if innapropriate you highlighted an issue that cannot now be swept under the rug or the president will be caught in a lie.
