Can’t plug a hole...
Well, it can do pretty much anything Pete Stark might aspire to, I suppose.
“John has a long mustach.”
Does anyone know if there is a credible candidate running against this loose cannon? I realize this a liberal district, but surely the voters there must be exasperated with this obnoxious radical left blowhard.
Hey Pete, revolutionaries can do even more.
Especially to those of the ruling class.
Suit up, Peter Obamahole, your turn appears to be arriving.
He’s the origin of the term “Stark raving mad”.
When the lady tells him he’s ruining the country Stark just nods like the fool he is.
This is on DRUDGE today too.

I don't think this feeble-minded man should be allowed to operate a car, let alone run the machinery of government.
Great video!
“Such a right is beyond the power of the Federal government to confer.” True, in fact, the Federal government cannot confer ANY rights.
Yea if its bad, bankrupt the housing market, run social security dry, fight wars like a sissy, turn its back on our friends, suck up to dictators, and run all businesses in the dirt, oh yea tax the people to death and then we realise the money is gone and no one can find it, oh yea lets not forget open borders to prospective voters who sick the country down the drain, ..what a whack job..
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
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."
What a dope. A pure moron. A joke.
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?
