The man on the other end of the line was calm and quite submissive to me while I was speaking. Actually I think he was a bit frightened.

I'm fine with Cao on this
Neil Stevens Tuesday, September 15th at 6:16PM EDT (link)1. This was for show, not policy. 2. Obama is worshipped in this district. 3. It actually was a rude thing Wilson did.

All I can say is this to the Republicans in Congress…we need to be tit for tat…Republicans need to file petitions to censure every single Democrat who called Wilson names during this debate…and there should never again be a Democrat heckling a Republican President like they did Bush without Republicans filing bills to censure them!

what is most surprising
dingo Tuesday, September 15th at 10:45PM EDT (link)What is most surprising to me is that this resolution to censure, which passed, was the same punishment most of these same Democrats wanted to give President Clinton regarding the Monica Lewinsky affair.
In other words, according to the Democrats it is equally bad for a Republican to call the President a liar on the House floor during a presidential speech as it is for a Democrat President to lie about a civil case in court.
So much for the rule of law. Go figure.
(Some might argue that it is even worse because Clinton was not officially censured, although I would not agree with this - the Dems didn’t push censure in the Clinton case partly because Clinton had already been censured through the impeachment vote.)
