Stark been in Congress 30 years. He’s pushing 80, but he’s making no plans to leave Congress. He’s planning to stay until he’s 100, like Strom Thurmond. 20 years from now Stark and George Miller (35 years in Congress) will be in wheelchairs, on oxygen, and they won’t be able to hear, but they still will be wheeling around the Congressional cloakroom. You just can’t get these guys out, they are permanent office holders. I think the old days – when we had real elections for Congress – were preferable. In the modern era gerrymandered districts have led to permanent office holders.

Thanks to all of you flip-floppers on the left who voted for the Bail-Out this time around! And Thanks to all of you so-called conservatives that have jumped ship and joined the liberals’ and sold-out the American people! I’m sure the banking industry, the lending agengies, and real-estate companies will make some big-time contributions to your campaigns’ this time around!

I respect those on the left, such as Stark, Kucenich and Kaptur that stood their ground against the Bail-Out!

I wish there were more true conservatives in Congress like Ron Paul!

Today, we may just have witnessed the end of American financial dominance in the world!
