The questioner has a good understanding of the Constitution.
Pete Stark is just one more example of the ruling class.

Want to get in on a “Preakness Pool”?
Well, I agree with that. The SF Bay area is easily the most liberal area in the entire country.
But does that give this horse’s ass a complete and total license to say and do whatever he pleases without any fear of being held accountable?
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness” Declaration of Independence
Hey Pete suck on that! Remembering “consent of the governed”!!!!!!!1
Can’t compensate Americans for having to deal with Pete Stark

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Engineering degree from MIT, an MBA, 2 yrs in the Air Force, started his own bank from scratch and grew it in a decade to a $100 million enterpries, ran against a long-time incumbent (on a "he's been around too long" platform)... jeez, that's the background of a guy I thought I'd want to support!
But the MBA is from Cal-Berkeley, he's a Bay area devotee, he's been in for 38 yrs (the "too-long-timer" he orignially ran against was only in for 28 yrs)...
This guy rivals any Dem for having a mouth that gets him in trouble, by the way. He called Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Wade Sullivan, an African American, "a disgrace to his race" for supporting Bush Administration policies...
Other controversies include singling out "Jewish colleagues" for blame for the Persian Gulf War and referring to Congressman Stephen Solarz of New York (who co-sponsored the Gulf War Authorization Act) as "Field Marshal Solarz in the pro-Israel forces." in 1991.
In 1995, during a private meeting with Congresswoman Nancy Johnson of Connecticut, he called Johnson a "whore for the insurance industry" and suggested that her knowledge of health care came solely from "pillow talk" with her husband, a physician. His press secretary, Caleb Marshall, defended him in saying, "He didn't call her a 'whore,' he called her a 'whore of the insurance industry.'"
In 1999, he said to former California State Welfare Director Eloise Anderson, herself a former welfare mother, that she would "kill children if she had her way" for her advocacy of welfare reform.[6] In a 2001 Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health hearing on abstinence promotion, he referred to Congressman J. C. Watts of Oklahoma, an African American, as "the current Republican Conference Chairman, whose children were all born out of wedlock."
In 2003, when Stark was told to "shut up" by Congressman Scott McInnis of Colorado during a Ways and Means Committee meeting due to Stark's belittling of the chairman, Bill Thomas of California, he replied, "You think you are big enough to make me, you little wimp? Come on. Come over here and make me, I dare you. You little fruitcake."
In an August 23, 2008 video taped interview with Jan Helfeld concerning the size of the national debt, Stark stated that the size of the national debt is a reflection of the nation's wealth. When pressed if the nation should take on more debt in order to have more wealth, Stark threatened Helfeld and said, “You get the fuck out of here or I’ll throw you out the window.”
On August 27, 2009, Stark suggested that his moderate Democratic colleagues were "brain dead" for proposing changes to the health care reform bill being considered by Congress. Saying that they "just want to cause trouble," Stark claimed, "they're for the most part, I hate to say, brain dead, but they're just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process" during a conference call.
Even the San Francisco Chronicle editorialized on Stark, "Only a politician who assumes he has a job for life could behave so badly on a semi-regular basis by spewing personalized invective that might get him punched in certain East Bay taverns. Would-be challengers sometimes sense a whiff of opportunity, but the reality of taking on a 16-term Democrat in solidly liberal terrain is nothing short of daunting. Surely there must be someone along the shoreline between Alameda and Fremont who could represent the good citizens of the district with class and dignity. It's not the case now."
After nodding for awhile he then says; "Well I am sure glad you are here to save it."
If I remember right, back in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s, he “cussed out” Lt. Col. Oliver North. Start has no class whatsoever !
Capps's District 23 looks like a long coast-hugging snake and it's carefully drawn to exclude all but the most liberal communities. Nothing will change unless some effective re-districting is done, and that concept is so alien to most dumbed-down voters the chances are zero to none. The fix is in.
What a dope. A pure moron. A joke.
Any relation to Forrest.......?
One thing the government can NOT do is make Fortney live forever.

Who is that woman? We need to elect her, and send her to Washington in November to represent the Conservative viewpoint. She was dead-on and great in her delivery.

Then why can’t they stop the “Victory Mosque” at ground Zero?
When you don’t believe in God, like Pete, government becomes “God.”
The Federal Government can do most anything in this country ass-backwards.
Now I can agree with THAT/s;)
