Pandering to their base on the DU
Thank you Rep. Pete Stark for clearly elaborating Democrat positions and platforms.
Zarquari (good, or at least not a problem for the world)
US Military--evil.
Got it.
The Rats have such a lovable "House" of characters: Jefferson, McDermott, McKinney, Stark, etc. I am sure the voters want to send more of them to DC--NOT.
Brit Hume's show on Fox last night mentioned that Fat Teddy actually had the sense to applaud the troops and then keep his mouth shut.
During his long tenure (1995-2004) as the senior Democrat on the Joint Economic Committee, Stark produced reports that criticized Republican policies. He was one of two House members to vote against repeal of the 3% telephone excise tax and one of three who opposed the resolution denouncing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional. In March 2003 he called the bombing of Iraq "an act of extreme terrorism." He co-sponsored a plan to reinstate the military draft, and was on the losing side of a 402-2 vote on the proposal in October 2004. He cited the experience of World War II, when "it was everyone's patriotic duty and our country was better for it."
Stark has a habit of making provocative comments about other members. After he incorrectly stated at a committee hearing in May 2001 that all children of Republican Conference chairman J.C. Watts had been born out of wedlock, Watts confronted him in the House chamber and Stark reportedly gave a flippant response that further angered Watts. At a hearing on prescription drug coverage in February 2003, he said that George W. Bush did not have to pay a penny when he went to Alcoholics Anonymous to quit drinking (Bush has never said that he attended AA or that he was an alcoholic). In July 2003, when committee Democrats gathered in a room adjacent to the Ways and Means room and Chairman Bill Thomas called the Capitol Police to evict them, Stark called Thomas a "fascist." The San Francisco Chronicle reported "rumblings that it might be time for the veteran Congressman to retire," but Stark said, "I've got to keep running. I've got 2-year-old twins and I've got to get them through college. Our retirement plan is good, but it ain't that good."
"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."As you can see, the words: for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers are not in quotes. I am concerned that the full quote be discovered. I imagine the Times is making a fair characterization of much more carefully spun words by this loser.
In related news, Democrats are a bunch of friggin' idiots.
Remember the Salad Days right after 9/11 when Democrats were afraid of being Anti-American? Sigh...the Good Old Days!
I can hear the cuckoo singing in the cuckooberry tree...
Don't know if you saw/heard this on your spinney set.

Perhaps the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just a big, huge, "stunt"?
Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!
NEW HEADLINE:
DEMOCRATS: AMERICA A "STUNT"
Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said that the establishment of the United States of America was a stunt to divert global attention from the spectre of past religious persecution.
"This is just to cover the King's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for British citizens having been persecuted and killed for their religion...
well if Osama Bin Laden is captured who will retaliate the hardest against the U.S.?, the Dems or the jihadists around the world?..looks like the Dems will go crazy if Bin Laden bites the dust..
None dare call it treason....it's time we did
"Who, really, is surprised? I'm shocked it took some Dems several hours to say such things. They're usually quicker on the draw."
They're a little slower to make statements that reveal them to be traitors in wartime. Consider the two-hour delay as their way of showing respect for the American war effort.
No, the Killing of Vince Foster and Ron Brown. Now those were stunts.
Not to mention all the Arkancides! (thanks to the fellow freeper who turned me on to that saying)

There, he says, in reference to conservatives, "War is the goal." That's right, according to Mr. Odland, you conservatives started and perpetuate war.

I'd sure like to see what the modern day Moynihan has to say; I speak, of course, of Representative Cynthia McKinney. I'd also like to get the esteemed opinion of Representative William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana.
Wow --- pretty neat "stunt". I can't wait 'til Bush pulls the hat trick with Bin Laden.
