If he's a martyr, he could become the next Republican candidate for president. Look what the evil, bad Dems did because he tried to express his opinion inappropriately. They'll go into free speech and all that. Good 'ol Joe knew better. He couldn't have been around that long and not know. He likes the attention and money. I agree that it was probably premediatated, too. If they fine him or other form of punishment, it is field day for Republicans.BUNS AND BARBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311823626630319056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793991227926645249.post-89141091330555377972009-09-16T12:24:59.147-07:002009-09-16T12:24:59.147-07:00I can't agree on the Joe Wilson issue.

These rules date back more than two centuries to the times of James Madison. <br /><br />Rep. Wilson knows the rules, all of our Congresspeople know them, they are schooled in etiquette before they take their seats.<br /><br />In the House no member can even address another member directly, it must be framed as "the gentleman from..." or "the gentlelady from..."<br /><br />Wilson chose to flaunt these rules, his outburst was likely pre-meditiated, and he should pay a price for it.Stephen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820157471183462560noreply@blogger.com
