[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

WASHINGTON (CNN) — GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina issued a statement Wednesday night apologizing for his outburst during President Obama's speech to Congress:

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”

disrespected the President like that.

5. well...

Well, devil's advocate here. If an illegal alien was wheeled into an emergency room in the middle of a heart attack, would he get treatment? Of course he would. Could he pay? probably not. We pick up the bill. Should he be denied treatment? Absolutely not. I'm assuming that Wilson's constituancy would prefer to have the patient die than recieve care, because he's here illegally and doesn't deserve it from us hard working taxpayers. That's where they're coming from. Sooo, when Obama says illegal's won't qualify, does he mean we won't treat them? No. So. He's a liar. Go figure.

8. The illegal alien hypocrisy

Say that someone here illegally from another country were carrying some contagious disease like tuberculosis. Should be deny him health care simply because he's an illegal alien, even though his not being treated puts the public at great risk? Watch them stutter.

7. Would that suffice as a defense in court?

So let's say Wilson, in a fit of emotions, pulls out a gun and shoots someone - "I let my emotions get the best of me".

Loser.

9. He disagrees with the President about what is printed right there in the proposal =

he should apologize for never having learned to read.

10. Those Republicans are so emotional

:cry:

11. So basically the President is still a liar but my bad for saying it out loud.

What a back handed apology.

[Thrill]

12. Fuck your apology. I've had enough of these pricks saying and doing things towards the President

and thinking they can just apologize and people forget it. Racist emails, Racist Photos, etc...just plain old disrespect.

This guy can kiss my ass

13. I bet homeboy got a talking to..........
