Rep. Joe Wilson makes history last week.
South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson says he will risk a vote on House discipline and not apologize again for publicly denouncing Barack Obama as a “liar” during last week’s joint session of congress.
“I am not going to apologize again,” Congressman Wilson told FOX News Sunday. “I apologized to the president on Wednesday night, I was advised then that, ‘thank you, now let’s get on to a civil discussion of the issues.’ I’ve apologized one time, the apology was accepted by the president, by the vice president, who I know, and I am not apologizing again.”
Rep. Wilson is defiant in not apologizing again.
Wilson shouted “you lie!” at Obama last Wednesday night after the president said a proposed government takeover of the American health care industry would exclude servicing the tens of millions illegally living in the United States.
“In fact I have been proven correct on the issue of citizen verification,” Congressman Wilson said. “In fact, the Senate adopted it on Friday, and then, I’m grateful that on Friday night, the White House announced it is now going to include it in their Bill.”
If Congressman Wilson does not apologize to Congress for his outburst, a vote will be taken on censuring him and he may be forced to stand in the well of the Congress as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi punishes him.
“People know my civility, they know it was a one time event out of frustration. I believe in the truth and what I heard was not true,” he said in response.
Congressman Wilson says Democrats are playing politics with the issue of another apology. “This is not what the American public does not want to see or hear,” he said.
Wilson also says he has a “great respect” for the office of the president and the Obama family.

Good for you Joe Wilson! The truth is the truth. Of course….Barack Obama doesn’t what know what truth is.
I just heard him say he was going to get his deathcare program through–he didn’t need any republicans votes to do it. He said in effect ” It’s all on me whether it winds up for the good or bad”
Now you see if this was anyone OTHER than Obama I might even find a tad of comfort in that quote.
Except I am of the firm opinion form all the evidence? He is PURPOSELY destroying the USA from the inside out.
He is the cancer at the heart of this nation. Him and his administration…..:)
He should have to give a “South Park” apology and have to kiss Obama’s ass.
The Democrats should however let it go, it isn’t worth dwelling upon and things like this only increase the riff between the two sides.
It is Obama who should apologize for all the lies he has told, including healthcare for illegals!
The bombardment of American fists at the doors of Congress must be heard, to make E-Verify a permanent illegal immigrant enforcement tool? It’s incredulous that we are winning small wars against our lawmakers beneficiaries–the special interest lobby. LEGISLATORS ARE FINALLY HEARING OUR ANGRY VOICES. Rep. Joe Wilson C-SC opened the eyes of millions of Americans, who are been left unaware of the cloaked–AMNESTY–committees that is going to rip the fabric of every voters life apart. I do not condone Rep.Joe Wilson (R-SC) outburst in the full Congress. But Rep. Wilson was–CORRECT! Unless there is some efficient mechanism to identify illegal immigrants applying for the government health care, such as revised E-Verify? They cannot be detected and delivered to ICE. Just indicating illegal immigrants wasn’t qualified in the wording is a waste of time, just like the billions spent on these people annually There’s also language in the senate bill that states that if one family member is an American citizen (anchor baby) then the entire household will be eligible for coverage. Any detail in the national media has been subdues or intentionally omitted, as with the crowds of Tea Party opponents. Sen. Harry Reid could be stretching his neck out for the headsman in his re-election campaign, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. They both have used their political influence in trying to overturn E-Verify. Pro-Illegal alien lawmakers could table it, under the “Sunset Provision” on September 30?
President Obama’s direction towards an unmentionable path to citizenship for all those who broke our law is abhorrent. After the controversial eruption in the Session of Congress, they surely must be aware that imposing immigration reform on the people could break them? Americans taxpayers are already supporting business welfare? Corporate entities want these destitute people here to exploit, but don’t want to pay for their health care, schooling or towards the massive numbers surviving in prison. They leave that to the fading middle class taxpayers who carry the tax burden? Over a decade has passed since illegal people started coming here in droves and with little or no laws, to blockade their arrival we are now talking over 20 million. Nor does it stop there? Owing to the clarion call of Amnesty ringing out in the slums and ghetto’s of foreign criminals, sick, elderly and those without means, from all over the world will descend on us. IT MEANS OVERPOPULATION?
Bad as it may be now, who is going to subsidize the new arrivals? Not the business cartels that’s for sure? Once again taxpayers will be heavily taxed to pay for the new shipment of poor, uneducated from every region. How can we expect to have any government public option for our own people, when our gates remain wide open for “Anchor Babies” and the illegal millions expecting a free handout? A nurse in a Nevada hospital indicated they have a row of beds of illegal immigrants on dialysis, which was costing weekly $18.000 dollars for each treatment. Tell me who pays for that? The US government pays a small portion; the rest is acquired from the hospital or taxpayer.
I want a single payer system for homeless veterans, seniors, single mothers with children and poor American families. But I refuse to pay for everybody who climbs, crawls under the fence or bluffs the Federal officer at shipping ports and airports of entry. It’s not our responsibility. DON’T WAIT!
