   As a fellow Southerner whose home is unfortunately much closer to the North, I can tell my friends in SC you are much better off for the most part without cars with NY tags. My apologies to Northern Conservatives, you are not who I’m talking about.

   Pelosi’s incessant blinking has done more to distract from addresses to Congress than Wilson’s outburst did.

   Are all the boo-ers from the left side of Congress also going to be made to apologize?

   This whole thing is turning into one large joke. Somehow I doubt our pre-radio/television broadcast presidents enjoyed such silence in Congress.

   Besides, don’t liberals want us to be more European? Shouting at the chief executive during an address to the legislature seems to be about par for the course for them.

   I think I’ll email the SC tourism folks and tell them I’m planning a trip now that all the liberals are going to stay away.

   Should make the beach a great place to visit. Maybe a round of golf or two while I’m there.

   I hope Joe Wilson takes it to them and points out the hypocrisy and politics involved. He has apologized and the President has accepted it that should be the end of story. If I were Joe Wilson I would tell Pelosi that he’ll apologize on the floor of the House right after she apologizes for false accusations she made regarding the CIA lying to Congress.

   Maybe he should actually get up there and say something like this:

   “I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the House for my breach of the House Rules of Decorum when the President spoke here last week. Even though similar breaches of decorum have been made in the past when previous presidents have spoken, I understand that making such statements in such a forum is inappropriate – even when the statements themselves are true. I hope that this can be a “teachable moment” for everyone, so that others can learn from my mistake.”

    Perhaps the collective IQ of the state will remain higher with Nutroots staying away. At least with the Nutters getting sidetracked with this issue, they will stay off point with the real issues of the day—which is Obama trying to “trojan horse” single payer in. He’s already said previously as much. We know his M.O.

    Hey, look: It’s another nutroots boycott that’s bound to backfire. Out-of-state callers are phoning South Carolina government officials and telling them they’ll never visit again over GOP Rep. Joe Wilson’s unruly moment last week when he called out one of President Obama’s health care untruths:

    Well two can play that game. Hey California!!!! I’m never going to visit you unless Rep. Pete Stark apologizes to GWB on the Floor of the House for calling him a liar (which he did at least twice).

    I bet that got all of California quaking in their boots!

    Sun Tzu said a key to victory in war is to “be without discernable shape.”

    One of the reasons the Left is having such a horrible time in stopping the town halls and the Tea Party Movement is that it has no identifiable leaders.

    The Left’s M.O. is to immediately attack any visible potential leader. I give you Sarah Palin and Joe Wison as examples. It is all they have.

    The Tea Party Movement is based on a set of ideas and principles, not a manifesto from a select group of people. There is no one for The Left to target and villify. The manufactured furor over Joe Wilson is a manifestation that they have no idea how to surpress and destroy they Tea Party Movement, because it is “without discernable shape.”.

    They are going to learn ultimately, the hard way, you cannot defeat a principled ideas that are based on freedom.

    South Carolina officials should send a nice reply by email on SC stationery with the Confederate flag proudly displayed across from the United States flag and tell the boycotters they’re sorry they can’t come to SC but maybe they’d like to visit San Francisco and support Nancy Pelosi’s declaration that the CIA is filled with liars.

    Or maybe suggest a trip to Las Vegas in honor of Harry Reid and his name-calling sessions about George W. Bush.

    And then there is New York City – home of the New York Times that continually releases classified information when it suits their political purpose.

    I grew up in South Carolina, and now live in California. I think South Carolinians were more tolerant and appreciative of visitors than Californians are, and it was certainly a more cost-effective place to visit. Times change though, maybe that’s not true anymore.

    Good! Don’t return. The beaches will be cleaner, the other beach-goers won’t have to listen to your profanity, and there’ll we more room! At least these resort areas will not have to pass bills to keep out the riff-raff, and face lawsuits for doing so. Thank you lefty loons…you have proved you love yourselves more than your country.

    In an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep.

He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example.

    Is he referring to his fellow Democrats? If I remember my history, the KKK was comprised of Democrats trying to run the Republicans out of the South and scare blacks. Just ask Robert Byrd who was a card carrying member for awhile.

    The geographic center of the US is in Lebanon, Kansas.

    I think it would be awesome to have our new capital be “Lebanon.”

    It only has about 303 people right now though. They might be a bit overwhelmed.

    Hilton Head SC. I think I’ll go do some golfing. Lets have a MM golf tournament for Wilson. Any takers?

    Aw, man! If I still lived in Sumter I’d be there. Unfortunately, Colorado Springs is a leeetle too far from Hilton Head for a golf game.

    Oklahoma City is at the intersection of I-40 (California to N.C.) and I-35 (Canuckville to Mexico).

    You have to be able to accomodate the traffic of leeches into the city.

    My note to the Director of Tourism for South Carolina:

    Dear Mr. Prosser:

    I have had the opportunity to visit your lovely state several times in the past, and I want to assure you that my family and I will be visiting South Carolina again in the future. Not only have we enjoyed our trips to Myrtle Beach, but my late grandfather was born and raised in Heath Springs. On my next trip I hope to continue my geneological research in the Heath Springs area as well.

    Sincerely,

    ECS

    It’s time to flush the toilet and start over in DC.

    Actually, Washington D.C. is a great place for a capitol if there are still only 13 colonies.

    Not to be too picky, but by the time DC became the capitol, they were already states. Our country’s original socialist sin was the creation of a District of Columbia that set the government apart from the people, although I’m sure they thought it was a good idea at the time.

    One down, 49 to go. All the states need to do something to make the leftists want to boycott. Then they can get completely out of the whole USA. Since they believe in global warming, maybe Canada (or better yet Siberia) would be just right for them to keep cool.

    Good news! The Resolution of Dissaproval against Wilson just passed!

    It’s good news because while the distinguished body spent the entire afternoon deliberating this important issue, they didn’t spend any money.

    Net effect on Wilson: Nada.

    No. We’d eat the meal, and then recreate it. Except then we’d rename it something like “Appalachian Wild Fur Squab” served over a lovely bed of herbed polenta with shaved white truffle. And we’d charge $39.00 a plate for it.

    The NAACP began a boycott of South Carolina YEARS ago over the issue of the Confederate flag flying over the State House in Columbia. It didn’t work.
    We have spent our vacations in Myrtle Beach for over a decade now, and even with Obama’s recession, there are still lines at the good restaurants, and ticket prices for shows are still high and hard to get. We love South Carolina, and will be retiring there (we live in Virginia, about 40 miles from DC and are tired of the traffic and the political stench of DC forever in our nostrils. My son graduated from USC Aiken this past May, and has decided to make his living there. We cannot WAIT to move there.

    This admonishment over a breach of decorum is ridiculous. Is there any official rule that bars this action during an address? That’s not a defense of being rude, but if you’re going to officially admonish someone, you might wish to ensure there was a proper infraction to actually break.

    This is dumb on so many levels. It’s entirely and transparently political and just sets a precedent for later such wastes of time.

    What’s this, James Clyburn hasn’t called Joe Wilson a racist yet…com on James your slowing down, Al would be very disappointed in your reaction. You should be pounding on your podium demanding that racist Wilson apologize to the president and every “poor, picked on black” in America.

Another example of the lyin’, racist, liberal, democraps.
