Should he step down because he blurted out a dumb commit.. I don't think so.. Should he not be vote into office again, because the only real reason he made the dumb commit, was because he most of his campaign funding from big business medical industry.. Well yes.

While it's out of place, heckling has always gone on and it was way worse back in the days of our founders. I don't think they would think it was too big of a deal. However I'm pretty damn sure they would be spinning in their graves knowing how much special interest/big business controls our current day politics.


Over Joe Wilson’s congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson’s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.

I think that's the real reason he is pissed off about health care reform..
