Absotively NO need to apologize, as I stated emphatically on his official website.

stark reports to one of the strongest blue districts in california. he said on the "news hour" last night that his constituents not only do not want him to apologise, they want to him to speak out more and just as harshly. he said "they are fed up."

From Democratic Underground:

When asked if he would take back any of his statements, Stark told KCBS "Absolutely not. I may have dishonored the commander in chief, but I think he's done pretty well to dishonor himself without any help from me."

He added the real dishonor is that Republicans refuse to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program. "The fact is that I do support the troops in Iraq. They're there fighting to protect our children here," said Stark. "I think (Republicans) owe the troops in Iraq an apology for not protecting the children that those troops left behind."

When the POSCIT (Piece-of-Shit Commander-in-Thief) gives his trademark smirk and and deranged chuckle when he declares himself "the decider", I think it is clear that sending troops into harm's way, while knowing he was able to get himself out of harm's way when the situation was reversed, IS for his own amusement.

Rep. Stark has NOTHING to apologize for! I am convinced (and I say this with all seriousness) that the upper ranks of the GOP up to and including Commander Codpiece are gathering a collection of torture porn that would make a normal person's head explode. Just as the Meese Report (Attorney General's Commission on Pornography) was likely to be pretty much an excuse for good ol' Ed (and Ed's pals) to get his hands on (legally) some of the sickest, most depraved porn available (bet he took TONS of work home with him!), the degradations done to "enemy combatants" and others while Smirky McDipshit pretends to be fighting (while OTHERS do the dying) for TRUTH, JUSTICE, and the AMERICAN WAY *is* for his own fucking amusement!

If only there was a way to negotiate a peace whereby Shrub was turned over for a taste of his own medicine. Maybe then the protections of the Geneva Conventions wouldn't seem so quaint.

I was reminded this morning that Mr. Stark is the only admitted nontheist serving in congress! Attaboy!

Someone told me last night that the Speaker of the house was just like the rest of the Democratic Men in the House - she has no balls, either!

Another cure? Spineocrat.
