Pete Stark Thanks Daily Kos

[cal04]

Earlier today I made a post about Rep. Pete Stark's comments during the House debate on the SCHIP override vote. He said, in part:

You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we 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. This bill would provide healthcare for 10 million children and unlike the President's own kids, these children can't see a doctor or receive necessary care. <...>

But President Bush's statements about children's health shouldn't be taken any more seriously than his lies about the war in Iraq. The truth is that Bush just likes to blow things up. In Iraq, in the United States and in Congress.

Naturally, the Congressman's remarks received overwhelming support here, and I thought you'd like to know that he stopped by to thank everyone(http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2007/10/18/12258/878/312#c312)

Hey folks. I wanted to drop by, say hello, and thank you for your kind words of support.

We've got to provide health care to children -- and we've got to end this war!

No, thank you, Rep. Stark!
