John, after reading your follow-up blog about the manufacturers association commending Pete Stark for his ‘no’ vote; and then reading why Pete voted ‘no’ and his new bill, it must have been a momentary Black Hole where, as you say, we both disagreed for different reasons! Kind of like how many unions opposed the May 19th propositions, but for different reasons than the rest of us who are fed up with higher taxes and fee.

Have no fear, Arne – you and he simply happened to disagree in the same direction.

This may be the first time that Pete Stark and I have ever agreed upon something! Has Hell frozen over?

Pete Stark is an awful representative.

I don’t agree with his politics, but his goofy behavior and dumb positions have cost us strong representation for a long time now. His own party barely recognizes him.

Between his racist and homophobic outbursts and his blatant and despicable tax dodge (Connecticut is a little known enclave of Fremont, hidden inside of Newark, don’t you know?), he should have faced judgment at the hands of the voters at the ballot box ages ago.

But that’s the problem, isn’t it. We keep sending him back. I suspect a cardboard cutout would get elected if it had a ‘D’ behind its name.

my question is when is this atrocity going to really stop apparently the governor doesn’t care because the torment continues.why doesn’t the governor stop this violation once and for all? is almost seven years of this violation long enough? the local goverment of corona apparently doesn’t think so because they are allowing it to continued what are they hoping to achieved?

Keep in mind that none of the above pictured servants of the people even read the legislation on which they (except the Governor) voted.

Why are they smiling?

Ol’ Pete is unhappy because his own “leadership” on energy issues has been ignored by most of his colleagues. M. Hoffmann is right; Pete’s vote wasn’t needed. Nor are most of his ideas.

Pete Stark simply broke from the pack because his vote wasn’t needed. This was actually a Homeland Security Bill, making the USA independent of foreign fossil fuels by 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Jackson was actually killed on orders of the CIA to distract the media from this historic vote. God bless the USA.

This will do for todays economy what Smoot-Hawley did for the economy of the 1930′s.

These knumbskulls are even trying to convince people that CO2, which we all exhale, is a pollutant.
