And Rangel wasn't?
This is good news, let the crazies be exposed more & more!
I think this is great! A far left atheist is perfect to campaign against!
If some “moderate”(if there is such a thing w/the dems) had gotten that job, there’d be nothing to work with. But if this guy is as crazy as he sounds, he’ll be the “picture” of the dem party, and will hopefully lead to more Republican wins in November.
So no difference then. Figures.
I remember this from KSFO San Francisco. (In case there's no link in the posted article.)
So we won't be able to tell there was a change.
So this will be an improvement from Charlie?
Shouldn’t that really read Fortney Pete Stark is crazy?
EXCERPT
These are the men who have run Washington this past year, and they are Mr. Obama’s de facto cabinet. The nearby photos show some of the most powerful, clockwise from the top right:
• Ed Markey of Massachusetts, first elected in 1976, helped to ram the cap-and-tax bill through the House and has pushed relentlessly for the EPA to declare carbon a pollutant under the Clean Air Act that didn’t mention carbon.
• Wisconsin’s David Obey, elected in 1969, is the House Appropriations chairman who steered the $787 billion stimulus to focus on Medicaid expansion and other transfer payments that have done nothing for economic growth.
• Henry Waxman, first elected in the Watergate class of 1974, deposed John Dingell in 2008 as too moderate to run the Energy and Commerce Committee. The Hollywood liberal is co-author of the cap-and-tax vote that will cost numerous Blue Dogs their seats.
• Pete Stark, class of 1972, runs the health subcommittee on Ways and Means and has written most of the House health reform that has forced moderates to walk the plank on the “public option.”
• George Miller, class of 1974 and chief enforcer for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has pushed to nationalize the college student loan market. Like Mr. Stark, he’s from California.
• Barney Frank of Massachusetts, class of 1980 and chief protector of Fannie Mae, wrote the financial reform that would make too-big-to-fail the law for the largest banks. He has also pushed the mortgage foreclosure programs that have extended the housing recession by preventing home prices from finding a bottom.
Rush just played a sound byte:
Town Hall participant to Stark: “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining”
Stupid Stark: “I wouldn’t waste the urine to pee on your leg”
Nice!
This is a disadvantage, why?
If you have a Froot Loop “Progressive” (aka commie) in charge of a high-visibility committee, it gets easier to paint the rest of the Democrat party with red paint. How long before Pete Stark is too much even for Queen Nancy?
Unbelievable! The “Stark” laws have done more damage to the practice of medicine then all other federal regulations. He is both a lunatic and evil.
