Representative Pete Stark, D-Fremont, On Health Insurance

"You don't have money to fund 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 blwon off for the president's amusement."

He didn't say it all that well, it's better put: you're wasting you're fucking money spending $35 Bil helping children to be healthy because when they get old enough they're gonna go get killed in a frivolous war.

I saw that on youtube. I really wish more articulate people got elected to congress. sometimes i feel like the house and senate are turning into old folks homes. when their not to busy playing shuffleboard (drafting legislation) and they have the time to rant, they sometimes make good points, but they're barely coherant...

that was a strong enough point, with the strength of the 'get their heads blown off' part, that it overcame the speech impediment. it made me smile on the muni when i was reading the paper, and you know how it just feels wierd when you simle to yourself in public. yea....
