Bitterly divided along party lines, the House formally rebuked Republican Rep. Joe Wilson Tuesday for shouting “You lie” at President Barack Obama during last week’s nationally televised speech to Congress.
The rare resolution of disapproval was pushed through by Democrats insisting that Wilson, a South Carolina lawmaker, had violated basic rules of decorum and civility in his outburst. Republicans dismissed the vote as a political “witch hunt” and a waste of precious time and taxpayers’ money.
Really? Breach of decorum? Rules of civility?
Let’s review a few moments in Democrat decorum and civility shall we…
Democrats, en masse, booed Bush during his State of the Union:
Democrat Representative Pete Stark, on the House floor, accused the sitting President of being amused by kids getting their heads blown off.
First of all, I’m just amazed that they can’t figure out– the Republicans are worried that we can’t pay for insuring an additional ten million children. They sure don’t care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you gonna get that money? You gonna tell us lies, like you’re telling us today? Is that how you’re going to fund the war? You don’t have the money to fund the war or children, but you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people, if we could get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.
Democrat Senator Harry Reid called President Bush “dangerously incompetent” and a “loser“?
Democrats can take their definition of decorum and civility…
…and shove it straight up their asses.
