Democrat Rob Miller's campaign war chest just got a whole lot heavier.

Miller is the Marine Corps veteran challenging Rep. Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who took the opportunity afforded by a joint session of Congress on Wednesday to yell "Lie. You lie," at President Barack Obama.

Progressive Democrats took that as a cue to donate to his opponent, and accounts earmarked for Miller on the progressive Website Actblue jumped from a few thousand dollars to $105,943 between the speech and 9:15 a.m. on Thursday.

At least nine different Miller-linked funds appear to have been created since the speech, including one called "Defeating the man who yelled 'liar' at Obama: Goodbye Rep Joe Wilson' that had collected more than $500,000 overnight.

Wilson beat an underfunded Miller with 53.7 percent of the vote in 2008.

So? Is this the way we hide the FACT, that Obama lied?

Obama didn't lie about this. HR 3200 says in Sec 246, that the Fed Gov won't pay for anyone not legally in the United States.

Though the claim they can have a public option and be budget neutral just does not pass the smell test.

They also struck-out the proof of eligibility for services section, which effectively makes everyone here eligible.
