Moronic behavior on the floor of congress

Congressman Joe Wilson's (R-SC) behavior last night was not just uncalled for, it was also bizarre. The guys yells "You lie" at President Obama, during his speech, after the President's comment that illegal immigrants won't benefit from his healthcare proposal.

First of all, congressional leaders just don't do that. Secondly, if anyone was going to yell out "You lie"...the Democrats certainly had their opportunities to do that when President Bush spoke about his reasons to go to war in Iraq, yet they constrained themselves. Thirdly, it amazes me that people will lose it when someone speaks about a bill that will actually help the citizens of the United States, yet those same individuals will go along with all sorts of contorted legislation concocted to build weapons to kill people, line the pockets of themselves and their cronies, and/or build needless projects that waste billons of dollars.

Americans need to see these people for what they are. Selfish folks who work hand-in-hand with special interest groups to either maintain the status quo, or make things worse. All the while hurting the average citizen.

It's time to say, "Enough!"

  1. Two things come to mind: 1) We have to go back at least two generations to find a national environment of civility and respect. What happened to that? 2) Enough is right! I think, and hope, "enough" will become the buzz word, the foci, the hub of this revolutionary wheel were rolling along at the moment. May it gain momentum.

    I wonder if, and how, these two things are connected?
