They Voted For You: Pete Stark

U.S. Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, voted to table a resolution that would have censured Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., on Tuesday. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, voted for the measure.

The resolution focused on Stark's comment in a congressional speech last week that "U.S. troops are being sent to Iraq 'to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement,'" The Associated Press reports.

The resolution was tabled on a 196-173 vote.

Of the House Republicans, 168 voted against scuttling the resolution while 32 cast no vote. Five Democrats voted with them, while eight voted "present."
