Joe Wilson Voted To Provide Federal Funds For Illegal Immigrants’ Healthcare

From C&L:

He's the new hero of the right but I wonder how they would feel if they knew that Rep. Joe Wilson is yet another Republican hypocrite?

On Wednesday night, Rep. Joe Wilson , shouted “You lie!” at President Obama when he said that the healthcare bill would not cover illegal immigrants. “The supporters of the government takeover of healthcare and liberals who want to give healthcare to illegals are using my opposition as an excuse to distract from the critical questions being raised about this poorly conceived plan,” Wilson said the next day in a campaign fundraising video.

However, in 2003, Wilson voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants’ healthcare. The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants. The program has been extended through 2009 and there is currently a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it permanent.

12. oh, but that was when a "different" President was in office . . .
Every day, this stinks more and more of just a flat out hatred of Barack Obama by the Republican redneck party.

15. I have tried to send this info off to CNN. Please bombard ROX
and other cable stations with this info. It is really important for this to be out in the open to demonstrate the hypocrisy and actual lying that the GOP does.

17. Another GOP hypocrite caught red handed
They attacked Clinton for his Lewinsky scandal but they cheated on their wives themselves. Now add Wilson to the list of hypocrites from the Republican Party.
