It was probably pressure from the left that made him see his ways. He's already insulted Bush and the Republicans in the past and didn't appoligize. This time, near elections it become critical because video is now available for political commericals.
Just today, I saw one with Bill O'Reilly on a Barney Frank political commerical spot. Funny thing tho, O'Reilly was right, Dems have been at the forefront for giving away mortages to people who didn't qualify, now blame others.
Oh, I do, and you and George W. Bush are two of the biggest fucking neocon dicksuckers that the Earth has ever spewed forth from its asscrack. Its Obama time. So go suck a cock bitch.
"haha thought so bush may be alot of things but hes no neocon you fucking dumbass."
...now it's official. You really are a fucking idiot. So what would you call him then? A paleoconservative like Pat Buchanan, who emphasizes protectionism and a NON-INTERVENTIONIST APPROACH???!!! That would really be something, since he gave rise to the Bush Doctrine. Unlike Sarah Palin, you do know what that is, right? No, huh? Well then, go back to school dipshit.
haha the vocabulary of a child and the vernacular to match. try reading jeane kirkpatrick sometime you retard. shes the author of kirkpatrick doctrine aka neoconservative doctrine aka your a fucking retard for thinking bush is even remotely in sync with her approach to geopolitical affairs. do yourself a favor a put down that cock your smoking and pick up a book you dumbass.
Interesting how you tap dance around the evidence to the contrary of your cowardly claim. Let's review the past 8 years for a minute, shall we?
Bush responds to 9/11 with a strike on the Taliban. He follows this act with scare tactics in his S.O.T.U. about an Axis of Evil that poses a threat in the form of a mushroom cloud (must have made Podhoretz grin even more so than when Bush gave him the medal of freedom.) He uses the public's fear of a 9/11 repeat to invade Iraq, and THEN...........
all of the cumstains he has surrounded himself with for the past 8 years... but since you likely idolize each of them, from
Rummy to Wolfowitz to Rove, I will refrain from hurting your feelings. I will simply leave you with this little beauty that I found just for you. The Ten Commandments of the Neocon Bible.
truly pathetic. your distaste for bush is irrelevant in the context of this argument i'm certainly no apologist for bush i merely stated the obvious fact that he is no neoconservative. you have done nothing to support this claim of yours rather you have only gone on to demonstrate that you watch to much keith olbermann and are as fond of lame cliches as you are of men.
Actually, my distaste for him is as relevant to this argument as your obvious admiration of him. Name one thing that truly separates Bush from the Neoconservative agenda. Then, in your infinite wisdom, tell me how exactly he is similar to a paleoconservative.
After you fail to do any of these things adequately, you can go back to shaving your old man's vagina.
you're an idiot neoconservatism couldn't have less to do with the social issues which bush has placed so much emphasis on. it merely describes the application of realism in the realm of geopolitical affairs. i am certainly no fan of bush and the religious right but i am a nation security conservative who finds it incredible that neoconservatism has become so distasteful do solely to its misappropriation, by intellectually bankrupt liberals such as yourself, to describe bush doctrine.
towerclimber is so right, the dems and repubs is so total bullshit, they do this to keep the american people divided on purpose, its like good cop bad cop, but they have the same agenda in the end, which for the most part benefits them, the politicians..
The only way we can fix this experiment we call america is to keep voting these thugs out of office, over and over until they get the message,especially the ones that have been in congress for over 20-30yrs....
Pete Stark started off the right way by criticizing Bush and like most Democrats they back pedal like the pussies they are. Stark you were right the first time. We need the Democrats to grow some balls and stop kissing the Republicans' asses.
When he made the patriotic speech criticizing Bush and concerning American children no one applauses, but when he made the apologizing speech, which he didn't have to, everybody was clapping. WTF??!!
@immaculateboy Wilson spoke the truthbut was force to apoligise to Obama and the democrats and country and media ?

@immaculateboy He should have apologized. He puts his foot in his mouth regularly. He's a loser. I can't believe Californians keep voting him back in.
"This generation is probably experiencing the darkest days in American history"...
LOL, Yeah right, but hey now, let's not forget the Civil War, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl and on and on and on.. This spoiled rotten generation has nothing to complain about so stick your anti-American, boo hoo hissy fit BS where the sun don't shine.
On the other hand, predictions are that for the first time in American history, the latest generation will not be richer than their parents. The national debt is over twice what it was in 1980. Inflation of the US dollar is relatively worse now than it has been for many years.
Not the darkest for sure, but times are not exactly great.
And what is anti-American about saying that the US is not facing good times?
I don't think it is true that the US is in the darkest of ages, but to ignore that there are problems is anti-intellectual. That kind of anti-intellectual behavior is much more anti-American, because then the issues that need to be taken care of do not get taken care of.
I also believe that the Founding Fathers instated free speech with the idea of an intellectual discourse in mind. The Founding Fathers were also deeply concerned with intellectual issues. So really, you are being very anti-American by being anti-intellectual.
The "serious issue" right here in this video is the issue of FREE FUCKING SPEECH, which the conservatives don't give a shit about. Otherwise, they wouldn't be trying to force you and countless others to apologize. Who gives a fuck if Pete Stark said what was on his mind? Shouldn't the Senate floor be the most open for discussion? If I can't say what's on my mind there, where can I? Countless homophobic Republicans have said worse, but no one required them to apologize.
It's not an issue of free speech you nitwit. Give me an example an example where a Republican said worse and didn't get reprimanded. What a hatemongering fool you are.
Hatemongering? LMAO. I haven't even begun to hate. Besides, your friends in the GOP have said far worse things, esp. about people like gays. Remember this old ditty? "The road to Selma was not the road to Sodom." Plus, I'm not saying liberals aren't intolerant of free speech during certain times, but the Republicans were the ones demanding an apology. I Mean, WTF? Are we in kindergarten? Demanding an apology?
You don't think Democrats have demanded apologies from Republicans?
Listen, Congress expects a certain degree of decorum from it's members. If you cross the line, you are expected to apologize or be reprimanded. This is nothing new. You are being petty.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! He gave in to those Republican authoritarian morons who said he needs to apologize?? But he was right on the ball! It's truth! Bush is a scary, evil man. He just does not give a fuck. Either that or he's VERY incompetent. Whatever happened to free speech in this country? Dammit, Pete! YOu spineless fuck! You are the epitome of the spineless, weak Democratic majority. You've squandered your chance to hold the GOP accountable.
Its funny how the democrats can get away with apologizing (as hard are that was for this pathetic figure) and others have to bow down to the left and resign. Stark is a lefist, a thief, anti-physician and very comfortable with buying votes with more government benefits.
Yes Stark you are an insignificant spineless slug who can't stay true to his convictions just like all your Democrat buddies. I've never heard Ron Paul back down from anything he said and that's why I'm supporting him instead of the Democrats. RON PAUL 2008!!!
That's very nice that he apologized. I didn't know there's still decent people in the liberal crowd. I have concluded long ago that they're all either stupid, or evil.
I am utterly impressed and felt very touched by his gesture.
treasonous, spineless deomocrats. At least Stark did what was right in the end..even though he embarassed himself along with his terrorist loving party
"Republicans sure don't care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if he 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." -Pete Starks
Following the initial criticism to his statements, when asked by a radio station if he would take back any of his statements, Stark responded "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."[12]
I'm a conservative .. the one thing I can't stand is making a statement and then wimping out. If you said it; if you believed it; stand by it. I believe he was pressured into it.
My predition: The United States is doomed. It will break apart. Rep and Dems move farther apart each day. They don't care about the country, just power. Dems in red states are moving to blue states and vise versa ... Civil War II
I agree, I think this nation is going down. We are just like Rome before it fell. Very powerful, but we have gotten to interested in self-gratification. We as a nation have given up our morals and beliefs. We also, like the Romans right before their fall, are allowing our enemies to come live within our own borders.
The one thing *I* can't stand is people who don't realize it's a GOOD thing to change your mind when new evidence is presented. That's NOT a sign of a lack of integrity! It's a sign of INTELLIGENCE!
I supported his original statement on the Floor.... Poor man was in a lose/lose situation. If he didn't apologize then the Repubs call him names... if he did apologize.. the Repubs call him names. It should have been said.. it needed to be said.. and the statement needed the support of the rest of the Democrats! Shame on them!
We liberals who live in fly over red states,talk about loopholes.Liberals on the coast,have no idea, what we go thru.Almost every company here,has right-wing nut jobs,who walk around and tell there co-workers,that liberals are evil,and unions,are evil,and we need to vote republican.
Most of you Liberals are not evil, just misguided and too willing to accept without question the propaganda that you are spoon fed by the media. You should ask yourself why Lt Murphy receiving the Medal of Honor was blacked out in the media...if he had raped and murdered an Afgani village it would have been the lead story...why is that? You should think for yourself and reject propaganda from the Left and the Right.
It should have been blacked out. As a Vietnam veteran,I thought it was used as a photo op thus devalueing the sacrifice of this brave man who gave it all receiving the medal of honor from a chickenshit chickenhawk who didn't have the guts to fight himself. As much as I disliked LBJ at least he served in war.You chickenshit repugs want sacrifice as long as it isn't you. Bythe the way I have a daughter who was injured in Bushcos war.
What I really find interesting about your comments is that unless someone has served in combat that their opinion has less meaning than someone that has served. I personally want to know what Lt Murphy did and have the book about the firefight...it makes me want to puke when I have to endure hearing about Abu-graib every day for months on end and they ignore Lt Murphy's story...just doesn't seem right or fair to me...
by the way my father was a helicopter pilot for the 1st Cav in Viet Nam so I know what it is like to wonder if you will ever see your father again...does that give me a right to speak my mind or do I have to serve in combat myself??
Yes I do especially when they are like Bush Cheyney and Limbaugh. Cheyney had what 5 deferments? Limbaugh had a wart on his ass? You think he shouldn't apologize over the phony soldier commment? When you repugs fuck up your taken out of context. When Mr. Stark tells the truth your outraged. I'm sick of the right wing fools who keep defending this absolute fiasco that is Iraq and are willing to borrow and spend us into oblivion.
loser, if you're going to put blinders on, wrap yourself in the flag and be happy to send 'someone else' to serve in your place, then, no, you don't have much credibility when it comes to war talk.
Bush and Cheney, CHICKENHAWKS, both 'ran like hell' away from serving in Viet Nam. Took every deferment in the book, jumped to the front of the Natl Guard list, etc.
loser, you need to read a whole story before thinking you've got enough info to head for the soapbox. Everyone aired the story, every news outlet of any significance. Faux is all huffy because it wasn't in everyone's Prime Time slot. While it's news in a way, it's really not very relevant news for prime time. That's all.
Republicans and Democrats are basically the same. If you pin yourself down to one or the other, quite often you will just be listening to what the party says or what a news channel says regardless of whether it is factually or logically true.
You can't really pin it on either Democrat or Republican specifically, because it is pretty how it works for both sides.
For we liberals,who live in red states.Where dinosaurs,were pets,this is the end.Somebody,somebody,must have had dirt on him,or promised him the moon.
lol, it's fun to read these comments that talk about spineless dems and the like. After thinking about it, of course that makes perfect sense. The same "my dick is bigger than yours" mentality pervades, as might worship the neocon agenda, never admitting a mistake, being egregiously stubborn in your beliefs and policies, and so on. Beautiful!
jri: lol, i fear you have not grasped the true meaning of my comment. I was actually quite delighted to realize that it makes sense, from a bush-admin-loving standpoint, to feel that people should never back off or apologize for anything, even if they are horribly wrong, where stubbornness is akin to toughmindedness, hence some of the "this is so weak" comments. When I had this insight, I realized I was a genius, lol!!! However, more seriously, how can you not agree with me? (lol)
Because deep down these comments bother you, in spite of your "epiphany". However, your insight is wrong, the "weak" comments are coming from both sides. Those that say it from Democrat/Left side are the ones that think he should not have backed off. The Bush Admin lovers are saying it as a means of mocking the man. In fact, from the Bush lovin standpoint, they are happy he apologized.
jrig: Ok, don't take my word for it, but I'm being truthful about why I was lol'ing, lol. Those Dems are wrong, Stark is in charge of his own life, I'm sure party leaders told him that he needed to think about the position it put other dems in if he didn't back off. But you make my point when you say the Bush-lovers say it to mock--they could never admit that it might be manly to do the apology thing. And they're taking their cue from the WH, and, sorry, I cannot resist a giant LOL on that one!
Well okay. I would say it would have been manly had he done it on his own volition. Truth is, the party leaders made him do it.
My guess is that if the roles had been reversed and it was a Republican making the apology, you'd have the Dems doing the mocking and the Repubs angry for caving in.
jri: Well, (i'm afraid I must engage in an lol here) are you saying that he wimped out to the party leaders, lol?? Hey, if a Republican had made that apology, the dems probably would have cheered him for being so disloyal to the macho attitudes of the WH (and here I must attach a major "har har"), har har!!
Did you listen to the video, the part where he said he was insignificant. Okay apologize, but you don't have to be so self-deprecating. I'm surprised he didn't take his belt off and start whipping himself.
jri: oh jeez, c'mon, u gotta be kidding, they probably have fraternity-style hazing for new pledges (oops, new WH interns) over there, lol. somewhere between decking himself out in his flight suit, and Cheney shooting people for _his_ amusement, you've got snarky WH foreign policy with Condi begging the WH to allow her to actually negotiate with mean old bad people (formerly known as the axis of evil). Those guys are the soul of machismo!!
Those of us offended should accept the apology and move on. However, the fact that an apology was "demanded" from him bothers me. We'll never know if it was truly sincere or forced. But oh well ... we're all human, and though I thought what he said was disgusting, I'm not perfect, either.
He should have never apologized because he offended you. If you are offended, you should wonder why. Are you so sensitive that you can't hear opposition?
I could be offended that the Administration and the Republican controlled House let this country be trashed and now the Dems have to try to clean up their messes and get blamed for not doing enough doing too much
I do like your attitude that we are not perfect. we all have our demons to deal with.
this is so pathetic! What a bunch of stinking, gutless, cowardly pussies those dems are, the leadership anyway. However corrupt and depraved the repubs are, at least they know what they stand for and they fight for it. When these are your choices for the elections, between a bunch of pussies and bunch of corrupt scoundrels, that really tells you what deep shit of trouble this country is in.
What happens in Israel directly affects what happens in America..This coup was part of the coup of America in which Kennedy was killed in Texas (not Washington) home of the Texas Mafia. Need not blame Bush you say even though his grandfather was THE banker for Hitler, and his sons would go on to cause a tyranny that has lasted 60 years or more..Dont blame Bush for the Zionistic crime family tyranny of killing millions in secret wars??
It has nothing to do with hurt feelings. For over a decade the dems have been getting pimp-slapped by the repubs. So now (even though the dems are in power), like a battered wife, the dems bend over backward to please them.
This guy lost all of his credibility with this apology. When you apologize for what you clearly meant to say, you show that you are weak willed and without character. I guess we can add stark to the list of sell outs in Congress. So sad.
loserdarrell, you might try presenting a coherent argument rather than having a tizzy and just calling people names. Calm down,, take a pill, actually take an overdose, and go to bed. Your whole party is out the door in no time at all now.
But Bush IS amused by the war! Remember his little skit, where he looked under his desk and throughout the office for the WMD? How he thought he was so cute when he said, "Bring it on!" When he said that he just doesn't worry about Osma bin Laden anymore! THAT'S the kind of stuff we should demand apologies for; it was disgusting! While the amusement he shows is evil, it doesn't even come close to the evil of his actions!
When the Chickenhawks Bush and particularly Cheney apologize for evading service during the Viet Nam Conflict, then I'll listen to Sparks apologize while clearly under the gun of the Dem party hacks like Pelosi and Reid. Two gutless wonders.
Don't worry you have a whole House full of fucking idiots that will say anything to gain polical power no matter how damaging it is to the country...just a matter of time
THIS IS SAD! ANOTHER MAN FORCED TO DIS ACCOUNT THE TRUTH and tell people he's insignificant! ALL YOU CONSERVATIVE PUSSIES GET SO FIRED UP WHEN WE CALL OUT A CRIMINAL like bush WHO USES THIS WAR FOR POLITICAL GAIN! WHY DONT YOU TRY TO DISLODGE THE HEADS FROM YOUR ASSES AND LOOK FOR THE TRUTH-NOT BLIND PATRIOTISM! thats called FASCISM! BUT I GUESS TRUTH IS JUST "INSIGNIFICANT" like this man. RIGHT, YOU LUNATICS???
The war IS for George's amusement. And Dick Cheney's amusement. They are smirking and poking fun of the whole mess behind the soldier's backs. Friday morning George will be off to Camp David once again, for BBQ and steaks and strawberry dacquiris. His smirk says it all.
Hey "LoserDarrell" liberals have no use for "bullshit and propaganda" and any lack of reality. Republicans were in charge of all 3 branches of government for 6 years and the results were a comprehensive disaster. And no president in American history has ushered in a more rapid or more comprehensive tailspin since the previous admin. than Bush. Thanks a lot for supporting that; keep up the good work, actual moron. Keep blaming the liberals.
No use for "bullshit and propaganda" Huh? You are fucking joke. Why can't you use facts and truth to support your positions? All I hear from you idiots is Bush Lied (which you can't prove), War for Oil (why is oil $80/barrel), 650K Iraqi dead (not true) and the "War is Lost" while we have troops in the field and now Bush started the war for "amusement"...care to defend your indefensible positions?

Truth about Bush?? What the fuck are you talking about...are you so far gone that you think Bush led us into war for his own "amusement"...you Libs keep moving further and further away from any reality...but please don't stop!

Listen to something other than fox and you might not be so fucking stupid.
You offer no proof or facts to back up the "amusement" statement...this is exactly what I am talking about...you libs have no facts to back up these wildly anti-american statements and then shout down anyone that dares to question your retarded baseless comments...keep in mind that it is not Fox News that you fear and loathe it is the Truth...I watch all of the news channels and you should too rather than just being spoon fed Liberal propaganda like a good lazy and stupid puppy.
I am disappointed in his fellow democrats for pressuring him along with the Republicans. This guy gave them a window to finally show some backbone and common sense, and they closed it on his hand.
So when are the congresspeople who failed to overturn the veto going to apologize. Seems to me their insult was bigger than his, but then again, I can read.
it's a shame this guy felt he had to apologize. He said what millions felt but don't have the forum to say. But instead they whapped him on the head and made him say he was sowwy because it could reflect poorly in the polls.
I for one agree with what he originally said. Bush likes war.
I wish that we would have concrete action rather than flaming rhetoric for once. Stop the funds, end this war and impeach Cheney first, then Bush and restore proper political discource in America.
Thats so weak. He shouldn't have apologized. As one of his constituents its even more disappointing. I guess he couldn't take the pressure from the elites :-( ...by the way. RON PAUL 2008!
Come on man, let them be offended!! He only spoke the truth before. Why apologize?? It took guts to say what he said before. This apology was a mistake.
That's as the worse thing I have heard. I am sad that the Democrats in power are lacking backbones in the time where they should be stepping up. I was excited that someone was speaking the truth and speaking in the behalf of many frustrated Americans. He shouldn't have apologized, but the fact that he reduced himself to say "I will become as insignificant as I should be" made me think that he is going to grovel and bow down to the Republicans. Just another step back for Democrats.
What a fucking twat-I had sooooo much more respect for his display of truth and humaninty-NOw he's insignificant?-What a coward. Oh BTW-Vote ron paul if you believe there is still hope for America!
"I apologize for momentarily lapsing into acting like a normal human being who was just speaking the truth about how I felt. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming."
LOL, so now repubs and Bush are solely speaking from their heart? When did this happen? You act like Bush hasn't said anything wrong over the years...
-- George W Bush, sadistically mocking condemned killer Karla Faye Tucker, complete with whimpering voice, in an interview with Talk Magazine's Tucker Carlson, quoted from J H Hatfield, Favorite Son (2000), caption of photo opposite page 165
Representative Stark has exalted himself to the level of a great statesman. If only we could have a man like him in the White House. There is real power in humility, something the pseudo-Christians seem to be unaware of. Jesus doesn't even know who they are. He would throw them out of his temple. But he would go home with Pete Stark and be proud to break bread with him.
Now, I am waiting to hear Mr. Bush apologize for my neighbor's dead son and my friend's 5th tour in Baghdad.
Wow, the hardline left leaners HATE this. They HATE that the Democrats are all smoke and no fire. This was an embarassment. What a horribly run party.

...now it's official. You really are a fucking idiot. So what would you call him then? A paleoconservative like Pat Buchanan, who emphasizes protectionism and a NON-INTERVENTIONIST APPROACH???!!! That would really be something, since he gave rise to the Bush Doctrine. Unlike Sarah Palin, you do know what that is, right? No, huh? Well then, go back to school dipshit.

haha the vocabulary of a child and the vernacular to match. try reading jeane kirkpatrick sometime you retard. shes the author of kirkpatrick doctrine aka neoconservative doctrine aka your a fucking retard for thinking bush is even remotely in sync with her approach to geopolitical affairs. do yourself a favor a put down that cock your smoking and pick up a book you dumbass.
erik24077 3 years ago
Interesting how you tap dance around the evidence to the contrary of your cowardly claim. Let's review the past 8 years for a minute, shall we?
Bush responds to 9/11 with a strike on the Taliban. He follows this act with scare tactics in his S.O.T.U. about an Axis of Evil that poses a threat in the form of a mushroom cloud (must have made Podhoretz grin even more so than when Bush gave him the medal of freedom.) He uses the public's fear of a 9/11 repeat to invade Iraq, and THEN...........

truly pathetic. your distaste for bush is irrelevant in the context of this argument i'm certainly no apologist for bush i merely stated the obvious fact that he is no neoconservative. you have done nothing to support this claim of yours rather you have only gone on to demonstrate that you watch to much keith olbermann and are as fond of lame cliches as you are of men.
erik24077 3 years ago 4
Actually, my distaste for him is as relevant to this argument as your obvious admiration of him. Name one thing that truly separates Bush from the Neoconservative agenda. Then, in your infinite wisdom, tell me how exactly he is similar to a paleoconservative.
After you fail to do any of these things adequately, you can go back to shaving your old man's vagina.

you're an idiot neoconservatism couldn't have less to do with the social issues which bush has placed so much emphasis on. it merely describes the application of realism in the realm of geopolitical affairs. i am certainly no fan of bush and the religious right but i am a nation security conservative who finds it incredible that neoconservatism has become so distasteful do solely to its misappropriation, by intellectually bankrupt liberals such as yourself, to describe bush doctrine.

On the other hand, predictions are that for the first time in American history, the latest generation will not be richer than their parents. The national debt is over twice what it was in 1980. Inflation of the US dollar is relatively worse now than it has been for many years.

I don't think it is true that the US is in the darkest of ages, but to ignore that there are problems is anti-intellectual. That kind of anti-intellectual behavior is much more anti-American, because then the issues that need to be taken care of do not get taken care of.

The "serious issue" right here in this video is the issue of FREE FUCKING SPEECH, which the conservatives don't give a shit about. Otherwise, they wouldn't be trying to force you and countless others to apologize. Who gives a fuck if Pete Stark said what was on his mind? Shouldn't the Senate floor be the most open for discussion? If I can't say what's on my mind there, where can I? Countless homophobic Republicans have said worse, but no one required them to apologize.

When I had this insight, I realized I was a genius, lol!!! However, more seriously, how can you not agree with me? (lol)
nicholas9999 4 years ago 2
Because deep down these comments bother you, in spite of your "epiphany". However, your insight is wrong, the "weak" comments are coming from both sides. Those that say it from Democrat/Left side are the ones that think he should not have backed off. The Bush Admin lovers are saying it as a means of mocking the man. In fact, from the Bush lovin standpoint, they are happy he apologized.
jrigeli 4 years ago
jrig: Ok, don't take my word for it, but I'm being truthful about why I was lol'ing, lol. Those Dems are wrong, Stark is in charge of his own life, I'm sure party leaders told him that he needed to think about the position it put other dems in if he didn't back off. But you make my point when you say the Bush-lovers say it to mock--they could never admit that it might be manly to do the apology thing. And they're taking their cue from the WH, and, sorry, I cannot resist a giant LOL on that one!
nicholas9999 4 years ago
Well okay. I would say it would have been manly had he done it on his own volition. Truth is, the party leaders made him do it.
My guess is that if the roles had been reversed and it was a Republican making the apology, you'd have the Dems doing the mocking and the Repubs angry for caving in.

You offer no proof or facts to back up the "amusement" statement...this is exactly what I am talking about...you libs have no facts to back up these wildly anti-american statements and then shout down anyone that dares to question your retarded baseless comments...keep in mind that it is not Fox News that you fear and loathe it is the Truth...I watch all of the news channels and you should too rather than just being spoon fed Liberal propaganda like a good lazy and stupid puppy.

I am disappointed in his fellow democrats for pressuring him along with the Republicans. This guy gave them a window to finally show some backbone and common sense, and they closed it on his hand.

So when are the congresspeople who failed to overturn the veto going to apologize. Seems to me their insult was bigger than his, but then again, I can read.

He is certainly right about one thing.
He is insignificant.

it's a shame this guy felt he had to apologize. He said what millions felt but don't have the forum to say. But instead they whapped him on the head and made him say he was sowwy because it could reflect poorly in the polls.
I for one agree with what he originally said. Bush likes war.

I wish that we would have concrete action rather than flaming rhetoric for once. Stop the funds, end this war and impeach Cheney first, then Bush and restore proper political discource in America.

Thats so weak. He shouldn't have apologized. As one of his constituents its even more disappointing. I guess he couldn't take the pressure from the elites :-( ...by the way. RON PAUL 2008!

Come on man, let them be offended!! He only spoke the truth before. Why apologize?? It took guts to say what he said before. This apology was a mistake.

That's as the worse thing I have heard. I am sad that the Democrats in power are lacking backbones in the time where they should be stepping up. I was excited that someone was speaking the truth and speaking in the behalf of many frustrated Americans. He shouldn't have apologized, but the fact that he reduced himself to say "I will become as insignificant as I should be" made me think that he is going to grovel and bow down to the Republicans. Just another step back for Democrats.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Evil as a Kennedy, dumb as a Pelosi and almost as mealy mouthed as a Reid.
One hour of apologies and all the weasel words the dems can muster won't change your heart.

LOL, so now repubs and Bush are solely speaking from their heart? When did this happen? You act like Bush hasn't said anything wrong over the years...

Representative Stark has exalted himself to the level of a great statesman. If only we could have a man like him in the White House. There is real power in humility, something the pseudo-Christians seem to be unaware of. Jesus doesn't even know who they are. He would throw them out of his temple. But he would go home with Pete Stark and be proud to break bread with him.
Now, I am waiting to hear Mr. Bush apologize for my neighbor's dead son and my friend's 5th tour in Baghdad.
