Thread: Rep. Joe Wilson apologized.

There, I separated the two for you see it really wasn't that hard....


Meanwhile, we are still involved in a war that has caused the deaths of thousands of people because of boldface lies told to the entire world by George W. Bush. Lies that were told with no possible purpose other than to make huge amounts of money for himself and his corporate cronies. Was Mr. Wilson whining and shouting like an ill behaved child then?

Just some small changes in red there for ya Bradamonius

Why would you think "tens of millions" of undocumented immigrants would be able to take advantage of a healthcare system? I think that many might be discovered don't you?

I don't know the exact numbers but I'd venture to say that there are also tens of millions of uninsured American citizens. Why should they be denied?

Illegal immigrants get treated in the ER now no matter what. We still pay for them. When they call the police or fire department, are they asked for documentation before they're helped? Do they need to show identification before using our postal service?

Short of enacting another "Operation Wet Back," this will continue to be. I'm Mexican and as such, I strongly appose illegal immigration. There are legal ways to enter this country and take advantage of the American Dream.

Now Glenro, you are making some very wild leaps there. Carter is not saying anything of the kind. He is saying Wilson is a racist because of his long history of white supremist activities and close association with the grand King Kloobah of the Knights of the KKK.

OOOOOO Brad-a-maniac so he is a racist by association????

Hmmmmmmm I think, I like the way you think... Yeah I am ok with that..

Well, I don't agree with that argument. Yet there is a poetic sense of justice when applied to a republican like Joe, seeing as the reps tried to do the same with Obama and that black racist preacher.

It's still not fair perhaps, but an interesting example of 'he who is without sins' or any other of a wide selection of sayings.


Yes it's early.

Did you listen to the tape? Did Carter really say "Obamanable circumstance"??

Sadly no they would not be discovered, even now it is illegal for a hospital to ask about citizenship status.

It's a bad thing to help people who are taking money out of my pocket, just like being an accessory to robbery really. They don't contribute to the system and I have no choice but to help them. I don't think so. It is completely different if I choose to donate to a cause that helps them, as I have with both my time and my money. But when someone tells me I have to I have lost my freedom.

I'm in favor of asking at hospitals and if they are illegal treat them then ship them home. If they would rather die here than go home that is their choice and one that doesn't rob anyone else of their freedom.

Its a cruel world and I'm tired of paying so our politicains can look generous. Of course they can be generous, it isn't their money, or their work to earn it.
