Sen Feinstein's hubby has huge Defense Contract in Iraq?...
Randi Rhodes said today that Senator Feinstein's husband has a $600 million dollar Defense contract in Iraq. He bought a company from the Carlyle Group, I guess some time ago.

This is the kind of incestuous politics that makes me sick. How can we trust Feinstein if her husband is in bed with the opposition?

It's just like that pandering Andrea Mitchell who passes herself off as a journalist while being married to Greenblatt or whatever the hell his name is.

They make me sick!

Randi was saying they should recuse themselves from certain votes. Want to bet that Feinstein will vote to confirm Rice?

1. Wanna get really sick? Feinstein actually "introduced" Condi on day one
of the hearings....she gushed over Condi and looked like she was going to go kiss her....

When Feinstein finally gets her nose unburied from Condi's ass as well as the rest of her cowering to the GOP and Bush Administration, it won't take the voters of California long to realize that Feinstein is no Democrat or Progressive and doesn't represent the Californian people's will....

I called her office today...I'm so disgusted...I have donated to her in the past and let them know that I didn't get the press release that Feinstein switched to the Republican party....

I'm going to work hard to start raising money for any viable candidate who will challenge her...and you know what, even if a Republican gets elected to replace her, so be it, at this point there would be no difference as far as I'm concerned....So many people I have talked with are so disgusted with her...

:grr:

8. This is just TOO disgusting...
I don't live in California, but I am going to email her anyway. After all, once they get into those Senate chambers, regardless of what state they are from, they represent ALL of us.

2. Feinstein morphed. She has been somewhat useless on issues
most here care about. She's become a diplomatic Zell.

4. I called her office yesterday
after I saw her do the introduction for Rice. I promised them that I'd be looking to vote for a more progressive Senator next time.

5. We can't trust Feinstein, but
there must be a strong Dem candidate running against her or else a rethug will get in the Senate.

7. I'm afraid Feinstein has been Chamberized. The sooner she's replaced
the better.
