Democrat Pete STARK APOLOGIZES to PRESIDENT and TROOPS
MSNBC ^ | Oct 23, 2007 | Mike Viqueira

Posted on 10/23/2007 9:03:19 AM PDT by rface

Embattled Democrat Pete Stark has just publicly apologized to "the president and his family."

He took the floor after his fellow Democrats successfully killed a motion to censure him in the wake of his remarks last Thursday asserting that American troops were fighting in Iraq to have their "heads blown off for the president's amusement."

"I want to apologize to my colleagues, many of whom I have offended," Stark began. He then apologized to "the president and his family" and "the troops."

"I hope that with this apology, I return to being as insignificant as I should be," he concluded though a voice cracking with emotion.

How hysterical! That thread is composed almost entirely of the “f” word and angry little icons. And their curses seem equally distributed between Stark, Pres. Bush, and Pelosi. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Yes. As heated as things get on FR, you NEVER see the F* word, even directed at a liberal like Stark.

You might see him described as a “...frikking liberal scumbag not worthy of licking the boots of the lowest E1 out of basic training...”

But you do not see that level of profanity here.

And hey, you can adjust it for whatever Dumbocrat is in the news:

“...Mrs. Clinton?”
“...Mr. Reid?”

Fun at parties - change the reprobate, traitor, etc., to different types “lunatic, Stalinist” and play “guess the Democrat!”

... Unbelievably, a resolution in the Senate to disavow the MoveOn.org ad war was opposed by all the leading Democratic presidential candidates.

That’s because DU means “Definately Unhinged”.

They actually believe the President ‘has’ something on him, so he was forced by the “neo-cons” to apologize.

They also believe we’ll do something to Pelosi, so that’s why she hasn’t stood her ground.

They ALSO believe that we’ve shown the Dems “faked secret intelligence” so they’ll go along with an attack against Iran.

*sigh* Oh, Lawsey, lawsey, lawsey....

It was a roll call vote. Check the FOX link in post #25 - that link has a “click here to see how your representative voted” link.

And for those who have not yet heard it...this is worth listening to in order to better understand this liberal POS.

It’s time that each and every politician comes under the microscope for their words, actions and votes! I for one, am fedup with behavior that children on the playard couldn’t achieve without severe discipline. So why is it allowed with grownups that supposed to represent Americans? They don’t represent me - I don’t use the “f” word...How many times has Hillary used it? THAT would be a good question by the press to her heiness? Nancy pants Pelosi is an embarrassment to the Title “Speaker of the House” and Harry Reid makes Tom Daschle look like a deacon by comparison!
