#1 Yet, you LIE Obama. And none in your corrupt party say so.

They booed President Bush with no kickback.

Corruption and Hypocracy is a democrat party hallmark.

Bless Joe Wilson, He seems humble enough for the work from what I heard.

#5 While a resolution of disapproval is little more than a slap on the wrist, a formal roll call vote like this -- permanently entered into the Congressional Record -- is extremely rare.

It makes it easier when they create their own 'lists' for later use. Just like the Stasi ~~rat~~ informer files. Authoritarian and totalitarian regimes are marked by the extensive records they maintain of their activity.

#6 Democrats defended the move, saying that Wilson had violated the Houses rules of decorum and needed a formal reprimand.

The resolution was clearly a partisian dog and pony show. Its another example of the politics of vendetta that has gripped the legislative branch. With that said; Rep. Wilson did indeed violate the Houses rules of decorum. Moreover, he was out of line and his actions displayed disrespect for the office of the President as well as the House. Therefor he should have manned up and apologized to both parties and avoided this entire embarressing episode.

#7 An emperor of a prosperous city who cares more about clothes than military pursuits or entertainment hires two swindlers who promise him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth. This cloth, they tell him, is invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his position. The Emperor cannot see the (non-existent) cloth, but pretends that he can for fear of appearing stupid; his ministers do the same. When the swindlers report that the suit is finished, they dress him in mime. The Emperor then goes on a procession through the capital showing off his new "clothes". During the course of the procession, a small child cries out, "the emperor is naked!" The crowd realizes the child is telling the truth. The Emperor, however, holds his head high and continues the procession.

#8 Punished for telling the truth.

"War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," "Ignorance is Strength."

#9 My kids would say, "Truth Hurts Don't it?" No one likes to look themselves in the mirror after embrasing a lie. Congress is rationalizing their guilt and anger. Wilson is being set up by the Dem to be our next Vice Prez! He will be known as a man who speaks the truth and calls liars on the spot! Honorable...
