When the lunatics takeover the asylum… this is what you get.
House of Representatives votes 240-179 to approve a resolution expressing disapproval of Joe Wilson's "You Lie" outburst… pretty much along party lines.
Was Joe Wilson out of order… probably. Was he completely frustrated and swept in the emotion of the moment… YES, Absolutely!
Joe Wilson stood up and said “You Lie” after repeated untruths, that have been revealed as such since, throughout Obama’s speech and months of disregard to any input and bills presented by the GOP or moderate Dems.
Now that the Circus is over… Time to demand that Nancy Pelosi apologize for verbally accosting the CIA in public, including calling them liars!!! And time to demand that Harry Reid apologizes to former President Bush for calling him a liar. After all, if we are standing up for decorum then it does not matter who is the president or when it was said.
And then it is time to wonder why when the President says, “I accept your apology, the ultra-liberal House continues to was time, money and energy on personal follies!!!
It is also time to ask…. is it not time for Nancy Pelosi to go? Replace the Speaker of the House!?!

• refer to the government as “something hated, something oppressive.”
• refer to the President as “using legislative or judicial pork.”
• refer to a Presidential message as a “disgrace to the country.”
• refer to unnamed officials as “our half-baked nitwits handling foreign affairs.”Likewise, it has been held that a member could not:
• call the President a “liar.”
• call the President a “hypocrite.”
• describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”
• charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.”

There is nobody that believes that all Americans must honor the “Office of the Presidency”, but the rules need to be followed by everyone and questions must be asked and points must be made. Sometimes unusual times require unusual methods.
Support Joe Wilson for his Candor…. He Did Apologize and Now Insist That Pelosi, Reid and the Rest Apologize as well as Stopping the Use of the Race Card Every Time “They” Don’t Get Their Way… Even After the President Accepts the Apology!
