Joe Wilson Wants Your Money

20090910_joewilson_560x375Remember back in kindergarten when the teacher would give you a time out for disrupting the class? Apparently the U.S. government still views said strategy as effective.

In this updated scenario, Rep. Joe Wilson plays the role of the annoying 6-year old, and the House of Representatives is cast as the teacher; the censure the House is considering is the metaphorical timeout and, voila, you’re right in the middle of the latest health care reform shenanigan.

But here’s the twist, that pesky little boy doesn’t just have mommy and daddy to run and complain to about the mean old teacher, now he’s got YouTube and Twitter, which are exactly the tools Wilson’s been using to say things like “I will not be muzzled” and ask for money to combat the dollar bills that have been pouring into Democratic opponent, Rob Miller’s pockets since Wilson’s “you lie!” outburst on Wednesday.

According to CNN’s latest report, Wilson has currently raised more than $200,000 and Miller, at least $750,000. That’s a lot of lunch money

    Nice to see that Joe is now over $750,000 while his opponent is at $1M. He’s gaining big time!

    Conservatives will make sure he has more than enough money and reward him for speaking out the truth during Obama’s partisan rant.

    We need more “Backbones” like Joe. Doesn’t anyone wonder about this shadow govt of Czars?

    Doesn’t anyone wonder about why the President always “I” and not “WE” in his speeches?

    Doesn’t anyone care about your politicians slandering you with names like “mobsters” “birthers” “nazis” and “Un-American” ?

    Doesn’t anyone wonder why we can reform health care with 3 easy steps instead of 1018 page bill?

    Doesn’t anyone wonder where the dis apearance of $23 Billion of our tax payer dollars went to after GM merged from bankruptcy?

    Beck isn’t always right, yet he has connected many dots and is on the right track with CORRUPTION in the Cabinet as the president has broken all his promises. Is this why 11 million voters have voters remorse reported on several medias less than a week ago?

    Why doesn’t Hillary speak out more often or why did Obama appoint her to secretary of state?
    1) She must ask Obama’s permission first
    2) So Bill cannot say negative things about our president

    If you or me were president, I firmly believe we would have talkeds to the people in DC Sept 12 instead of skipping town.

    This president is seeking another crisis so the admin can control it all ignoring the Constitution.

    What will he do when we are attacked by a rogue nation again? Probably skip town for if he has not the courage to appear on a Fox News show or talk to the people today in DC, what makes you think he gives a HOOT about you or me?

    GO JOE GO ! We Need YOU!

    GOD BLESS AMERICA
