#1 Classy people, these liberal Democrats in Congress are, I tell ya, classy people!

#2 What do you expect from a person named Fortney?

Thank God I have "Surfin'"(See website) Dana Rohrabacher as my rep. . .

#3 So, why does Stark want to restart the draft, thereby creating more poor enlisted guys to be betrayed by their commanders?

#4 What is House Resolution 627, Roll Number 150?

#5 Here's the resolution. It is pretty much as described in the second sentence of Dow's letter.

#6 I heard Stark's voice mail response on the radio last night. This guy is a total asshole. A nasty, arrogant bully who has a long history of behavior like this.

He's from a "safe" district.

#7 They were hammering Stark on KSFO (Bay Area) this morning. What a jackass.

#8 Limbaugh played Stark's delightful message.

Question #1: How many Democrats will criticize the creep?

Question #2: Any bets he'll face a primary challenger or have party support pulled from his next re-election campaign?

#9 I'll take any bettors on Stark. RMcLeod has it right. Stark's district is next to Barbara Lee's and Stalin would win there if he had the D next to his name.

#10 Any bets he'll face a primary challenger or have party support pulled from his next re-election campaign?

We've already had our Primary in California.

#11 But I doubt if you could spell half the words in your letter and somebody wrote it for you.

Had Stark been drinking before he called?

#12 That's what they were asking on KSFO. I guess they were in a charitable mood.

#13 I believe I may have the answer. There was a Dan Dow, Korean linguist, ex Army Sgt., who ran for State Assembly in (or maybe near) Stark's Congressional district. So maybe there were, as they say, "other issues" between the two of them. Dow's a Republican (information which is kinda hard to find on that page, keep clicking until you get to "endorsements").

#14 Angie,

Thanks. That explains why he got a phone call, I was wondering. Doesn't make "Pete" any less of a dork, though.

#15 Mr. Davis,

I hope you don't mind but I stole your transcript for use here. I was transcribing myself but you beat me to it.

#16 Stalin would win there if he had the D next to his name.

Hell, there are LOTS of places in the US you can say that about.

#17 Dan Dow has now replied in a comment to the post Ken links in #15:
Yes, I ran for State Assembly in 2002...against a multi-millionaire developer John Dutra. Pete Stark is not "aware" enough to have noticed. I have met Stark on occasion, but I don't think that he would have left that message if he had known that I had run for office and might release his voicemail. I am not currently running for office and I have no plans to do so in the near future...

You're absolutely right that I didn't mention that I had been deployed or anything like that. This is not about me. I am merely a concerned citizen who wanted to contact my "Representative". I am no hero. And I would never claim to be.
RTWT.
