Joe Wilson...the measure of a man.
It's worth your while to read the entire piece here about Wilson. After what's been done in the past(and what people are trying to do now) to he and his wife he continues to come through as an honest man who loves his country. His answer sums it up in my opinion.

http://www.rawstory.com/

Raw Story: Do you think the American experiment is over and/or do you think America will survive the events of the last several years? I asked this same question of Scott Ritter, who believes that America is far too resilient not to survive, but that the process would be lengthy and painful. What do you think?

Wilson: The good thing about our system is that we are a nation of laws and it is hard to subvert those laws for an extended period of time. The difference between us and say, fascism in either Italy or Spain, is that we have a settled Constitution and a settled history and there have been challenges that have been beaten back. We also have institutions which have withstood the buffeting of the political winds. We have demonstrated that during the Civil War, during the McCarthy era, during Vietnam, and so forth. There is every reason to expect the pendulum to swing back, but it will not swing back on its own. Which is why it is so important for the citizens, the press, and the Congress to begin to speak up more loudly and begin to push the pendulum back.

Here here, Joe.

2. yes....
Pause for a moment and try and picture, say, Tom DeLay saying such a thing.
What he says has the ring of truth....no embellishment, no hatred, careful with his language...

5. First Kerry, now Wilson. The cowards that run the Republican syndicate
really can't allow Americans with character and integrity expose their corruption.
