Republicans Outraged at Stark's Comments (Demand his resignation!)

House Republican leaders have publicly called on Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.) to apologize for his comments today regarding American troops in Iraq or resign from his position.

Stark said the following today on the floor of the House (which can be viewed on video here):

“I yield myself two minutes. Madam speaker, I, first of all, I’m just amazed that they can't figure out -- the Republicans are worried that they can't pay for insuring an additional 10 million children. They sure don't care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war on children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if he can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement.”

He should have resigned years ago. I’m not holding my breath that he’ll do the right thing now.

What an old turd. You know, I would demand his resignation, but I’ll just get another weird fruit out of that district of his, so what’s the difference? The new guy will disparage the troops privately instead of publicly? Not a big improvement to me.

Once again, 25 year olds are not children.

Demand his resignation? C'mon...be reasonable.I'd bet every nickel I have that his comments caused his favorable rating within his district to rise by at least 10 points.

He’ll be more valuable to conservatives and the GOP if he refuses to apologize, and is used as campaign fodder next year prior to the election cycle.

The republicans are wasting their breath, although, I guess that have to make some public comment to counter Stark’s words.

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t want reconciliation with such despicable people as Stark. I don’t consider them American. I don’t consider their viewpoint American.

I want to roll over them, disgrace them, and have the American people totally reject them.

It isn’t really a matter of revenge or censure or anything like that.

It is a war with the haters of America, and I want to win it.

The enemy, in that it controls the media, has a great weapon. The real question is how to counter that weapon or to take it away from them.

We need a media ABM, Star-Wars System.

The Democrat party is so disturbing I can barely even come up with words to describe it nowadays. I have also decided, I am no longer going to call the standing President by their last name only. It is President Bush or President Clinton or President Thompson, whatever. I don’t care if I hate the political agenda or moral values. The President is the President. The Repiblican party need to start setting standards of being Americans again. That should mean all of us.

We don’t need a majority of one’s constituency consent for a member to be removed, thank you.

“”But you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if he can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.”””

Does this idiot really believe that GWB will still be in office when “those kids” grow up?

Make an ad of his comments and run in in GOP leaning areas to raise funds and rile up the conservative base.
