Another Gift for Forest Baker from Pete Stark

Via Hot Air, here's another gift for Forest Baker from Representative Pete Stark:



You might remember this clip from June where Stark declares "our borders are quite secure." 

Ed Morrissey makes an interesting point:

Also, take a look at Stark’s body language in this exchange. Normally combative (and aggressively insipid in most cases), Stark seems to be collapsing in on himself as the woman builds an argument effectively enough to win applause from her fellow constituents. The bombastic Stark is almost inaudible when he admits that ObamaCare is a symptom of a federal government that no longer adheres to Constitutional limitations, and indeed doesn’t recognize them at all.

Pete Stark has been in Congress 37 years.  Send him home, California.

Pete Stark's Opponent Strikes Back

The Republican candidate opposing Rep. Pete Stark in the CA-13 race this fall has released a statement in response to Stark's mockery of one of the Minutemen asking him about border security.  You will remember that Stark insisted that "our borders are quite secure."  See the video of the exchange here.

Baker responded today:

"To declare that our southern border is secure when $100 billion worth of drugs enters our country from Mexico every year and a civil war is spilling over into the United States … In any such moment there are underlying stupidities that must simply be stopped,” Baker said.   “American civilians are being killed and Congress has not sent troops to the border?” Baker asks.
“The Pete Starks running our government don't seem to understand the concept of sovereignty,” he said. “But it is not because they are old and confused. We are being sold to those who would harm us ... on purpose, and for cash.”

Baker pointed out that Stark has been in Congress for 37 years and has never been seriously challenged.  "That will change this year," he said.

Pete Stark is Stark Raving Mad if He Thinks the "Borders Are Secure!"

Via FoxNews comes this video of Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) in a town hall last week mocking a Minuteman who asked him about border security.  Stark never gives a straight answer to the man's question and is flip and dismissive, much to the ire of the audience.  At one point the Minuteman even suggests building a wall to which Stark replies he'll start a ladder company and sell a lot of ladders to those who want to go over the wall.  Watch this:



Incredible.   Did you get that?  He said our borders are "quite secure."

Stark has been in Congress for 37 years.  It's time to send him home.

Forest Baker for Congress in CA-13!
