1. Uggh. I guess the President said to let it go

Oh well.

[jefferson_dem]

3. Actually, this may be the right move.

Wilson is being persecuted in a big way from all corners right now. No need to pile on...and make the little smarmy fucker into a disgusting political martyr.

[ecstatic]

6. True. They're embarrassing themselves without our help

It probably is the right move politically. Still, if there was ever a case where censure was appropriate, this is it! I'm tired of politics getting in the way of justice!

[Cha]

16. I agree..even though it would be sweet revenge.

It would be overkill 'cause he's already dead.

I can't wait to donate to Rob Miller.:patriot:

2. Of COURSE Pelosi took censure off the table. The lobbyists have important business to conduct. n/t

[MadHound]

4. Damn, where have all the fighting Dems gone? n/t

[Beaverhausen]

5. I kind of agree in the sense that he will be even more of a hero to the right if censured

[Canuckistanian]

8. Right. He can't be the martyr

But in the sane public's mind he'll ALWAYS be the "one who called the President a Liar"

[Uzybone]

7. there is more important business to conduct

leave the child to go off and sulk and act a fool. Those who want thier pound of flesh can put thier money where their mouth is and donate to his opponent in 2010, instead of complaining that Pelosi isn't as vindictive as they are.

[TheKentuckian]

9. Why bother? Let everyone else pile on and stay clean and above the fray

Censure would just lead to whining and sympathy.

Screw a pound of flesh when you can let everyone else shred him completely.

11. I think the 100,000 calls and emails have more than punished him

in addition to having been called out publicly as an asshole.This makes the Dems look more than gracious.I don't mind doing their dirty work ;)

[Jennicut]

10. No need...he already apologized and looked like a fool, plus made the Rethugs look bad.

Damage was done.

[Fluffdaddy]

12. Agree. Smart move by the DEM's leadership

Agree. Smart move by the DEM's leadership

13. What utter bullshit!!!

Anyone care to theorize what would have happened had the tables been turned, had it been a Repub president and a Dem heckler?

Right.

[ShortnFiery]

14. Not good. If you don't stand up to bullies, you only empower them to be more VILE.

:(

[Cha]

19. Oh, Obama stood up to him last night

all right. joe wilson is not going to be a martyr, though, he's going to lose in 2010 with his opponent Rob Miller getting cold hard cash from all over the country.

15. Don't make his ignorant a martyr

[msallied]

17. While I don't think they should make a martyr of him, they should make an example of him.

But I guess he has been punished enough. Sigh.

[mvd]

18. I support censure

Remember what they did to MoveOn? This is worse!

[Sky Masterson]

20. I agree with Pelosi on this one.

The Dems are showing class where the reps wouldn't.
They are acting like the adults.
:applause: Let it go. The guy did Obama a favor.

[HardWorkingDem]

21. Oh, good, another one day story for the Dems....

What is it going to take for Dems to start understanding the modern media and the lack of attention span of the American people?


For one thing, Pelosi should have let Wilson roast a few days over the fire of a potential censure, instead of instantly removing any doubt.

This should have been a two, three or five day story. Now it is gone.

[scheming daemons]

22. When your opponent is stepping over a cliff, the best play is to let them

Step aside... and just let them.
