The House Democrats have decided to punish Rep. Joe Wilson for not apologizing on the House floor for yelling, "you lie!" during President Obama's speech.
Two things that strike me about this.
1) This is the same party that will let tax cheat Charlie Rangel keep his chairmanship of the committee that writes the tax code. Wilson "lacks decorum", Rangel lacks the ability to obey the law. Which is worse?
2) Why does Wilson owe House Dems an apology. If he acted improperly, it was toward Obama. He apologized to Obama. Obama accepted his apology. Why does he need to be punished further?
I think the Dems want to keep the focus on Wilson so that no one is talking about the substance of Obama's speech or the contents of the health care bills.
Wilson should not have yelled. He's not wrong, but it makes Republicans look bad. And now, he probably should apologize just so that the whole thing goes away and we can refocus on stopping ObamaCare.
I'm not saying that what Wilson did was wrong, but for the good of the party, he should not have done it.

I disagree.
I am sick and tired of Republicans giving in to Democrats just to move on with things. When we start doing that, we lose ground. They keep pushing us because they can. I'm glad Rep Wilson said what he said. It's brought attention to the fact that he was right and the President was wrong. And I think making him apologize again doesn't make Wilson look bad. It makes the Democrats look bad for wasting our time and tax dollars on something so stupid.
