1. Another Dem tells the truth; the (R)s are already demanding retraction.

They say it's not it the spirit of bipartisanship. FUCKIN A IT ISN'T! It wasn't intended to be. We're fed up at the GOP hypocrisy -- death and killing always seem to find funding, but helping people is for chumps!

Of course, we can start the countdown clock until the Dems do, indeed, back down. I give it until Monday at the latest...the Repubs will want to keep this one alive for the Sunday news shows.

9. "Bipartisanship" is a funny word that seems to mean

"kowtowing to the petulant demands of the Republic minority."

[still_one]

34. Our so-called leadership better not pressure Stark to retrack speaking truth to power

You are absolutely right the REPUKES do want to keep this one alive. faux is exploiting it big time

This is the perfect time to expose this administration for what they are, and what they have done

As they said in A Few Good Men, "They can't take the truth"

Remember how the media was trashing Bill Clinton when gas prices were 1.50-1.75?

[The Wizard]

38. Who's whining for a retraction,

John "tanning booth" Boner? I love the sound of republicans whining in the morning.
It sounds like --------- victory.

[politricks]

40. THE COWARDLY LIONS

The Democratic Party and The Democratic Congress are like MUNCHKINS in the LAND of MUDGE, where the COWARDLY LIONS in the Democratic Congress are all wearing MAGIC PINK SLIPPERS which they click to have themselves absolved from the Peoples business everytime the MASTERS in the repuKKKlan Party burp.

2. WHOA - THAT"S what I'm talkin' about!!!!!!!!!!

The hell with civility.
The hell with protocol.
The hell with bipartisanship.
They've made a mockery of everything we hold dear.

Call them out on their evid deeds - their chicanery, their disrespect, their murderous lies.
Speak to them the way they deserve to be spoken to!!
Tell it like it is, without worrying about whether you're losing votes or alienating anyone.

And say it like you mean it!

[HowHasItComeToThis]

5. START ACTING VICIOUSLY TOWARD THE REPUBLIYESMEN

HIT THEM AGAIN
HARDER
HARDER

[David Zephyr]

15. I like the way you think. It is how to win, too.

When they get in your face, get right back in theirs.

They are ignorant bullies and bullies are always cowards and the facts are on our side.

[FiveGoodMen]

14. Abso-fuckin-lutely!

Just sent him a thank you note and some $$$.

[hisownpetard]

21. That's great! Me, too. Recognition well-deserved.

[bigscott]

29. no kidding

what votes do they think this is going to coat them?? I personally will NOT vote for anyone that refuses to stand up for these murdering liars. FUCK THEM

[Cha]

3. A Dem who is really a Dem and

not a bushdog.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

4. SHAME THE REPUBLICANS

[hisownpetard]

6. Unfortunately, they cannot be shamed. But we need to be more forthright in voicing our outrage.

[NewJeffCT]

27. If they'll go after Graeme Frost & Bethan Wilkerson...

They can go after anybody. I think even Joe McCarthy would stand up & say to them, "have you left no sense of decency?"

[go west young man]

7. We need more of this. It's called the truth.

The Democratic leadership needs to stand with Representative Stark and not retract a single word.

[stimbox]

11. Bang. Right between the eyes!

[sallyseven]

12. He should get a medal for that.

I loved it. They are going to pee their pants now. Good I hope they do and get a rash. I just saw a snot nosed white guy complaining on MSNBC. On Bora o"Donnels program. What a creep.

[MalloyLiberal]

13. Can you find anouther source other than the NRCC???

[90-percent]

17. sent to Congressman Stark

Thank you very much for your bold comments today on the House floor.

Truth and honor will beat lies and treachery every time.

Please restore our precious Consitution back to it's original intent of our Great and Wise Forefathers and lets send these republican TRAITORS back to hell where they belong! Getting rid of the treasonous occupiers of the White House would be a good place to start!

thank you

jim b

[jgraz]

19. Fuck yeah!

Pelosi probably crapped her pantsuit when he said that.

[Ladyhawk]

20. Pete Stark, atheist. :)

Way to go, both on coming out and telling it like it is, Representative Stark.

[caligirl]

22. I believe this cool dude was the original banker for Rollingstone Magazine when it

was first started. No joke. And he is or was my congressman when I lived in Southern Alameda county. I really believe he was speaking for us, cause thats what I would have said. He sent a thank you himself to the folks at Daily Kos for their support. Its on the front page.

[kerstin]

23. Man alive, this man belongs on the ballot. n/t

[JMDEM]

24. Rarer than a hippie in Alabama in 1968 -- the TRUTH in Congress. nt

[tecelote]

25. Given the choice "Bombs or Babies" and our great leaders choose bombs.

There should be a lot more outrage.

[JTFrog]

26. "For the president's amusement."

Ain't that the sickening truth. :cry:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. Check out the very end - the look on the guy's face behind him. Priceless. n/t

[BRB_TheFireball]

31. Damn right, Congressman Stark!

As Stephanie Miller would say, "Let's hear it for the boy".

[SIMPLYB1980]

32. Well done Mr. Stark!

Keep speaking the truth and don't apologize for it.

[FyurFly]

33. what a piece of filth n/t

[John Q. Citizen]

36. Got a problem?

[efhmc]

37. Are you talking about *bush?

[John Q. Citizen]

35. He said "Illegal war." Very good, very concise, and absolutly true. Kudos for

telling it like it is Rep,. Stark.

[Dukkha]

39. Stark's respnse to crybay repukes:

"I have nothing but respect for our brave men and women in uniform and wish them the very best,” said Stark. “But I respect neither the Commander-in-Chief who keeps them in harms way nor the chickenhawks in Congress who vote to deny children health care."

WAAAAAAH! LEAVE BUSH ALONE!

[The Count]

42. Stark has been my hero for some time now!

[peacetalksforall]

43. Hero du jour and hero for the year! Thank YOU, Pete Stark. Please

give some lessons about caring for people - to those in Washington that are heart and head twisted and deficient.

[chloesmom]

44. Thanks for the email link

I sent Rep Stark a supportive email. I tried calling his office but the line is always busy.

[codjh9]
