I don't care that it was rude or lacking in decorum--why is he apologizing for stating his opinion? Would a democrat do the same? The Republicans are so busy stumbling over themselves trying to appease liberals, they can't even do what we're voting them into office to do.

IMO, if a few good apples get tossed out, they can find a way to get back in. I think 100% fresh blood would make a BIG difference, and take away a lot of double dealing, corrupt power. At the very least, voters need to take a hard look at every single candidate and make sure they're voting them in or back in because they are going to follow through, and have a record of speaking up & speaking out with votes to match their rhetoric.

Joe Wilson needed to apologize because of where he was when he blurted out his statement. We can't have that on the floor of congress. It sets the country on it's head and can incite uncontrolled riots when our leadership doesn't keep a cool head.

I don't agree with you, Abi. A "few good apples" need tossing out? For heaven's sake, I don't throw away a good apple. I cut out the brown part and eat the rest. It's a no-brainer.

I do agree - we need to take a real hard look at every single candidate. I think we are learning that more and more. These rallies are wake-up calls for the Republicans and Independents as well.
