Congressman Pete Stark of California said that soldiers are "getting their heads blown off for the President's amusement"....it is the outrageous and completely disrespectful comments like this, that is becoming the "norm"...of our Democratic leaders in Congress these days....it is no wonder that the public approval rating is at a record low and way below this President's approval rating...

WASHINGTON, D.C. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement regarding remarks made on the House floor by Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) during the debate on the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP):
"Our troops in Iraq are fighting against al-Qaeda and other radical jihadists hellbent on killing the people we are sent here to represent. Congressman Starks statement dishonors not only the Commander-in-Chief, but the thousands of courageous men and women of Americas armed forces who believe in their mission and are putting their lives on the line for our freedom and security. Congressman Stark should retract his statement and apologize to the House, our Commander-in-Chief, and the families of our soldiers and commanders fighting terror overseas."
anybody out there to defend Stark? ;D
