House to Discipline Wilson

[Lonestar_logic]

Well, the Democrats could always take a page from the GOP and simply shoot the guy for disagreeing with them?

When has the GOP shot a guy for simply disagreeing? And please feel free to support you claim with documented evidence.

Cheney..."hunting accident"??? Maybe it was tort reform.

Can you provide evidence that the man that was shot was shot because he disagreed with the GOP as claimed.

Now what was that abortion doctor's name again?

So you attribute that to Republicans, hmmmmmmmmmm? Pretty weak argument there Ya Yank. But you with you libs, weak is all ya got.

Why? He apologized, immediately and it was accepted.
They waste more time on bullshit like this than reading their bills and doing their job.
Grow Up!

Where did you hear this? His apology was accepted.

Did you know his Democratic opponent raised a half a million dollars within 4 days after he embarrassed his state by yelling at the president? He will be accountable at the polls. His state has suffered enough with thier crazy elected officials, maybe they'll kick him out.

It was to the President that Rep. Wilson made the statement. And the White House DId publically state that the President had accepted that apology. I even saw Vice President Plugs Biden noting that the apology had been accepted.

And this petty response by the majestic House of Representatives is transparently just political hackery at work. Nobody cares.

Did Rep. Wilson spurt out something which he should have refrained from saying during a joint session of Congress? Yep.

He then apologized and the apology got accepted by the PResident. End of story.

But the Dims wish to make more of it than it's worth.

Good. Rep. Wilson is getting a LOT of support for the SUBSTANCE of what he said. So, my advice to all the liberal Democratics is: keep up the good work!

Looks like it's a simple "resolution of disapproval," unlike when the pubs tried to Censure Pete Stark in 2007, for speaking against the president. That would be Bush.

"House Democratic leaders have decided to formally discipline Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., on Tuesday for his jeer last week at President Obama during a joint session of Congress.


The punishment is expected take the form of a "resolution of disapproval," which is a milder version of other more traditional means of congressional discipline like a censure or fine. Wilson can avoid the rap on the wrists by apologizing to his colleagues on the House floor, but Wilson -- who already apologized directly to the White House -- has said that's not going to happen.



Wilson bellowed "You lie!" at Obama during his address. It's against House rules to call the president a "liar" or accuse him of "lying" when the House is in session.
"We're not the British parliament for a reason," said Kristie Greco, spokeswoman for House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C.,."Ignoring the issue sets a precedent for bad behavior."


Greco described the resolution as "direct" and "non-partisan."
"It goes directly to conduct on the House floor," Greco said.
Most Democrats in the House appear poised to sanction Wilson. But many Republicans argue that since the South Carolina Republican has already apologized, this step is unnecessary. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., opposed punishing Wilson until Clyburn and other Democratic leaders persuaded her to change her mind.
Critics say Democrats are only prolonging the issue and hurting themselves by pushing for further action against Wilson. Republicans may use the Wilson resolution to try to embarrass Democrats Tuesday, by bringing up the alleged ethical lapses of House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., or Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., or others.



The resolution is "privileged," meaning whenever it is introduced the measure goes to the front of the legislative line. It is unclear who will call up the measure.
A "resolution of disapproval" is not one of the four forms of discipline typically meted out in the House. The most commonly used means of punishment are expulsion, censure, reprimand or fine.


For instance, in 1997, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was both reprimanded and fined for his book deal. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., was reprimanded in 1990 for ethical breaches tied to a male prostitute. Republicans tried to censure Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., in 2007 for comments he made on the House floor about President Bush. But Democrats voted to set aside that effort.



A simple majority vote is needed to approve the resolution against Wilson."

Of course, it's ok to break the House rules with no consequences if you approve of what the rule breaker said, right?

 

[obama2ndterm]

Here is how this pig works':
1. he and his family sucks on the public trough with some of the best single payer, government run health care available, for LIFE!
2.It's good enough for him ans his faaily. All the while it's bad for the public
Just another republican, lying, hypocrite!

 

[Wry Catcher]

What if a Democrat Congressman in attendance at the State of the Union (when Bush lied. Remember yellow cake?) had yelled out "You lie!"?
Imagine the outrage: Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, O'Reilly, the Fox News anchors and right wing radio clamoring, "Traitor!", "un-American!" and demanding the Democratic member be tarred and feathered.
It's well past time for civility to be part of the public debate.

 

[L.K.Eder]

They shouldn't give Wilson the platform. Probably thinks he's some sort of martyr

exactly, stupid grand standing for a stupid grand stander.

Can you provide evidence that the man that was shot was shot because he disagreed with the GOP as claimed.

This is a tough one. The GOP and right wingers in general support a Right to Life platform, while those on the left tend to support a Right to Choose platform. Dr. Tiller performed perfectly legal medical procedures that flew in the face of the Right to Life platform. Roeder chose to kill him for this. You tell me what happened...

Let's look at the facts, I know, I know facts are something foreign to you but bear with me , will ya?

Scott Roeder

• A native of Merriam, Kans., a Kansas City suburb.

• According to a statement issued by his brother David, Roeder has suffered from bouts of mental illness. Read "George Tiller's Murder: How Will It Impact the Abortion Fight?"

• In the 1990s, Roeder worked as a manufacturing assemblyman.

• In April 1996, a 38-year-old Scott Roeder — thought to be the same man — was arrested in Topeka, Kans., after Shawnee County police stopped him for not having a proper license plate. Officers said they found bomb-making supplies in the car: ammunition, a blasting cap, a fuse cord, a 1-lb. can of gunpowder and two 9-volt batteries.

• At that time, police said Roeder was part of the antigovernment Freemen group, which engaged in a three-month standoff with the FBI from a remote Montana farmhouse in 1996.

• Roeder was sentenced to 24 months of probation. The conviction was overturned on appeal the next year when a higher court said the police search of his car had been illegal. Authorities have yet to confirm that the present suspect was the man in question.

• Posting on the website for Operation Rescue, which included a "Tiller Watch" feature, a man identifying himself as Scott Roeder asked in 2007 whether anyone had considered going to Tiller's church to ask the doctor about his work. (Operation Rescue's president has denounced the crime, calling it a "cowardly act." The group's founder, Randall Terry, issued a statement calling Tiller a "mass murderer" whose "hands were covered with blood.")

• Roeder reportedly subscribed to Prayer and Action News, a magazine that advocated "justifiable homicide" as a way of protesting abortion. Read "Understanding America's Shift on Abortion."

• According to KMBC-TV in Kansas City, neighbors said people often came and went at Roeder's house and there were always several cars parked on the road in front.

• Roeder belonged to an anti-government extremist group called the Sovereign Citizen Movement, which believes that virtually all existing government in the United States is illegitimate.


The facts clearly shows Roeder was anti-government and I'm pretty sure the GOP is part of the government. So for you to suggest that Roeder acted as an agent for the GOP is pure fabrication, if not an outright lie.

And for you to say that all those who believe in "right to life" are all republicans is also a falsehood. But again, it's understandable, facts and truth are two things that seem to elude you leftwing idiots.

We can spend the entire day splitting hairs if you wish. Answer me this. Which partymore closely identifies itself with "anti-government"?

Splitting hairs is pointless when you uses such broad generalizations about both parties...

No, he was not a lib, by any stretch. He was a freeper, a "pro-life" (cough) fanatic, and a crazed birther.

No lib.
