Pete Stark, great American and finest orator since Cicero

If there was a time for civility, it is over.

 

No, like 99% of all politicians, his empathy only reaches as far as his own little inner circle.

But I wouldn't go as far as saying he derives pleasure from their suffering.

 

Would you really be surprised if it turned out that Dick Cheney did exactly that?

 

Naw, he doesn't think about them at all.

BTW, Stark is the most senior US politician to publicly state he is an athiest.

 

and the word "human"

 

Okay. But not, like, very surprised.

 

It's shocking that this is causing any stir at all. The friggin democrats should be firing off on the failed (and ridiculously expensive) policies of the republicans every chance they get.

 

He doesn't beat off. That's what Laura's mouth and Condi's ******** are for. Thinking of that stuff is just foreplay for him.

 

So when the Right Wing Goon squad came after him, what was Stark's reply?

“I have nothing but respect for our brave men and women in uniform and wish them the very best; 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.”​

Rep to that man!

 

Shocker.

 

Wow, one word? At least you spelled it right or else I'd accuse you of being a moron.

 

I no longer use the word 'atheist' because to do so confers legitimacy on theism. I now say realist.

 

So much ickiness in such a short post. Good job. Now I need to bleach my brain.

 

Stark should apologize once our non-partisan Prez'nit apologizes for this disgusting display from the 2006 campaign. And no, it wasn't taken from "1984":

PRESIDENT: If anybody has any doubts about the differences of opinion in Washington, D.C. between Republicans and Democrats, I want them to analyze the recent votes that took place on these important programs. When it came time to renew the Patriot Act, more than 75 percent of the House Democrats voted against it.

AUDIENCE: Booo!

THE PRESIDENT: When it came time to vote on whether or not to allow the CIA to continue its program to detain and question captured terrorists, more than 80 percent of House Democrats voted against it.

AUDIENCE: Booo!

THE PRESIDENT: When it came time to vote on whether the National Security Agency should continue to monitor communications that we think would be -- contain information that would protect you, more than 90 percent of the House Democrats voted against it.

AUDIENCE: Booo!

THE PRESIDENT: In all these vital measures for fighting a war on terror, the Democrats in Washington follow a simple philosophy: Just say no. (Laughter.) When it comes to listening in on the terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no!

THE PRESIDENT: Just say no. When it comes to detaining terrorists, what's the Democrat's answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no!

THE PRESIDENT: When it comes to questioning terrorists, what's the Democrat's answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no!

THE PRESIDENT: When it comes to trying terrorists, what's the Democrat's answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no!

THE PRESIDENT: And so when the Democrats ask for your vote on November 7th, what's your answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no! (Applause.)

 

And yet he still has supporters. F**king scary.

 

Yeah, if I had used two, it would have been over your head.

I like to keep it simple for my lib friends.

 

If you really want to get your point across to libs, use pictures:
