Constitution? What Constitution? This is California!

Lefty congressman Pete Stark tells a constituent that the federal government can do anything it wants:
Note the inarticulate, racist rage of the woman asking the question. Note how much less intelligent she is than the politicians and media elites who dismiss her.
Note too, Stark's weak, simpering, sweaty muttering about how he's saving the country. I believe in psychology class they call that "overcompensation."
Tar and feathers are too good for our "representatives."

I think you need lobbyist credentials to ask Pete Stark a hard question. The woman apparently didn't know the rules.

We need to start paying $1M salaries for House members. Perhaps then we'll get someone smarter than an eggplant in the 13th District of California.

Sadly, I doubt that Mr. Stark's constituents will make him a private citizen, which is why it's so important that the rest of the country vote to make the Democrats the minority party in the House. Then we can sleep at night knowing that leftists like Stark will be minority members of committees like the House Agriculture sub-committee for artichokes and parsley.

Stark appears to be a total idiot. How can a man sit in the congress of the United States of America and have no idea of what The Constitution says. I could understand his knowing and ignoring, but he doesn't even know. He doesn't have a clue. Michael Tee, be careful you could be sued by the eggplant lobby, he makes an eggplant look brilliant.

Any Republican who does not include exceprts (Not Edits leftists and idiot pundits, Excerpts) from this vidio in thier advertising are complete idiots who are missing the opportunity of the century.
The Dems are always accusing the Republicans of "Shredding the Constitution." Republicans should answer that in order to Shred the constitution we have to acknowlege that it exists, which is more than the Dems are doing.

So, is he agreeing with the citizen at 3:12 when he nods his head to her statement, "You, sir, and people that think like you, are destroying this nation!"

Re: Constitution? What Constitution? This is California!
What you see here is a byproduct of political gerrymandering. For those of you who are tempted to think your local statehouse elections are trifling affairs, remember that those people draw Congressional district lines. In California, the state legislature drew the district lines so that this prickly, belligerent grump gets a lifetime sinecure in Washington. If you think he's disengaged, if you think he's going through the motions - you're right. He knows that the demographics in his district mean that he's more secure in his job than a UAW shop steward in Detroit. And as long as the California legislature stays in the shape it is in, that will never change. He can venture out once a week, stare sullenly at a room full of constituents, listen impolitely, ooze contempt for any other person not named Pete Stark, and collect his 70% of the vote in November. All he has to do is sit and stare.

Let me see if I've got this right: the FEDERAL government can do anything it wants, but when a STATE tries to enforce immigration law, or the PEOPLE vote to retain traditional marriage, clearly THOSE acts are unconstitutional.
Funny, there must be a typo in my copy of the 10th Amendment...

I understand a gerrymandered district--but what sort of folks live there? I'm from the unwashed heartland and really can't understand what kind of people would find this guy appealing....worthwhile....useful to them...... I can wonder about Stark....but even in the heartland I am saddled with a representative who went to Cuba and just loved Castro and all he's done there. [Additionally, he gained notoriety after he was 'spat' upon whilst on his way to vote on the health care bill!] It would really be nice if we could all just agree to throw every last one of them out and see what we ended up with. By the time they figured out where their offices were and how to operate the voting thingy, they'd be in their last six months of their two years and wouldn't have done much damage.

It is rare to see politics distilled so neatly in just a few words. There, my friends, is the true essence of liberalism.
