Isn’t Stark the whackjob that was so out of control and he had the seniority to chair a committee the Dems passed over him because he was so insanely out of control.That says something when you consider they let lowlife Maxine Waters chair the banking committee.

He died at his home in Maryland? A home in Maryland near Washington DC? Did he not leave Washington when his time in Congress was over? He didn’t move back to the Bay Area he represented? Why wouldn’t he move back to where he was from?

"Or there would be NO reason to pray for the dead. I think self righteousness interferes with the reading of the passages correctly to many though."

There is absolutely no reason to pray for the people who would destroy you and your country. SJWs have made that smug little quirk reprehensible.

Why wouldn’t he move back to where he was from?

Career politicians rarely move out of D.C., Jughead bought a house just down the street from the Whitehouse. It usually involves money...

[Smittie]

I’d be interested to see the verses...

[kempster]

Today he knows for sure.

No comment.

“I wonder if he was able to keep his doctor?”

Every time I heard the left scream Trump is lying, I think of
“If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.” and Jonathan Gruber’s, an economist who help write the Affordable Care Act “Americans are too stupid to know what is good for them.”

Stark owned a bank in Berkeley which had a large peace symbol on it during the Vietnam War. That would have been in Ron Dellums’ district back then—I think Stark’s district was further south in the Bay Area.

Feather, too. Miwoks.

Maybe he didn’t want to spend his last days on Earth walking through shit and used hypodermic needles back home.

“hock-tooey!”

[Political Junkie Too]

Eric Swalwell replaced him in his CONgre$$ional seat.

Only after California Democrats redistricted Stark's district to move it north.

Stark used to represent Fremont/Union City when Swalwell was mayor of Dublin. After the 2010 census, they moved Stark's district north to the Alameda/Contra Costa border, moving his district to Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, and Hayward.

The way Swalwell has been acting in Congress, the senile Stark would have been much better.

Wasn’t this the guy whom Rush Limbaugh used to mock with the “Admiral Bourda” quote?

“Admiral Bourda committed suicide for lesser crimes than these!”

My Bad. That was Rep. Tom Lantos and the Admiral's name was Boorda.

I apologize. All these whacko elected atheist communists blur together over time.

Good, we need a lot more stories like this about liberals in general.
