DIANNE FEINSTEIN-- AN ENEMY OF PROGRESSIVE VALUES, PROGRESSIVE IDEAS AND... PROGRESSIVES
>
At least California has one decent U.S. Senator who doesn't have to hide her face in shame
For decades I wished I had worked harder when Jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco against the most conservative member of the Board of Supervisors, Dianne Feinstein. (Well, actually the most conservative member, Dan White, had just shot Mayor Moscone and was in prison. Feinstein was the most conservative member who wasn't awaiting trial and hadn't been charged with murder.) She beat Biafra and launched a shameful political career marked by family corruption-- her husband is a war profiteer-- and reactionary politics. Today she stabbed Democrats in the back, as is her habit, and voted for Bush's latest nightmare scenario judge, Leslie Southwick. God only knows how much blood money her husband will get out of this one.
Southwick's record should earn Feinstein a recall by voters in California. But there is no recall for senators. We should remember though. She is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and a disgrace to California.
WILL THE KKK GET THEIR JUDGE CONFIRMED? ASK BEN NELSON AND MARK PRYOR
Although Harry Reid was unable to persuade DiFi not to betray anti-racist Democratic values, he says he still intends to oppose Southwick. The only chance he had to actually stop the nomination was in committee, not on the floor where reactionay Democrats will be happy to vote for a fellow reactionary. Ben Nelson (NE), who votes more frequently on substantive matters with Republicans than with Democrats, could barely wait to cast a vote in favor of the vicious homophobe and racist nominee. "Nelson said he 'met with him and went over the issues' and 'his responses were adequate for me.'" Adequate for Ben Nelson means that he doesn't expect Southwick to wear his white sheet and pillowcase to court and the he probably won't sentence gay people to burn at the stake.

amen
Yeah, I voted for Jello too. The last time I voted against Feinstein I voted for whoever ran against her and wasn't a Republican. And I vote against her in the primary too.
I'd've voted Jello too, but I was in New Jersey then. :(
'Holiday in Cambodia', is still one of my favorite albums, even after all these years.
Boxer in, Feinstein out!!! The class of 1992 needs to be split in that order.
I think Tom Hanks should run against her.
Why is it that each state gets only two senators, but Israel has at least twenty?
dhalgren, Barbara Boxer is NOT your friend. She is the one who dissuaded Cindy Sheehan from running against Feinstein in the primary in 2006. She has also been actively promoting a new war with Iran.
Boxer is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't trust her.
I had hoped Feinstein had an ounce of dignity. She's just another POLITICIAN. I'm glad I'm awakened.
Good for Boxer for preventing Sheehan from falling further into the madhouse coalition of political madness that has infested us on the far left. People like Ramsey Clark, International Answer and rabidly pro-Castro & Chavez relics are dysfunctional incompetents who need to be weeded out of the left and kept far away from governance
Having said that.. I respect Cindy Sheehan for her grief and activism. But if the best idea you have to oppose an operator like Feinstein is Jello Biafra or Cindy Sheehan, then you ought to just stop worrying about politics entirely and work on areas more suitable to your interests. You know like leading a rock band that stays together for more than 5 years. Then maybe you can work on a Senate race!
Think strategically..the only way Barbara Boxer is going to stop advocating for war with Iran is to stop her from being Jewish. Til then you have to accept that in your view shes not perfect and take the good she does. THEN organize with others around the country to put more solid and FUNCTIONAL left wing politicos in POWER and create a LARGER majority people who think just like you + people who kind of agree with you + people who can see your side of the issue if you reason with em = a government that acts with some ideological and principal consistency. What is in there now is a bunch of horse traders playing a game you have shown no ability to even comprehend or affect!!! You wont get rid of horse traders with symbolic candidates like Sheehan. Find someone who can affect the game and support them. Get SERIOUS about changing this powerful institution called the US Gov and we can get somewhere. God help us if we think we will SHOW Barney Frank or Hillary Clinton not to defy us by throwing Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney in there.
I had hoped Dianne Feinstein would be loyal to the Democratic Party and the Citizens of California that voted for her...I guess she just didn't have the backbone to oppose George Bush. She appears to be a Closet "Bushie".
If you would like to learn the truth about Dianne Feinstein, check out my public website: www.aarp.org/community/nancylcanfield70. Here, you will learn how I've survived after accidently learning, in early December 1978, that she bewitched former SFO Supervisor, Dan White, into murdering both Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Mascone. At present, Feinstein is attempting to have her accomplice who Dianne moved into my mobile park, shortly after Feinstein had me sent to prison without ever being on the witness stand, nor was anyone allowed to testify on my behalf, Terry Held in space #108 moved in and presently attempting to bewitch three different men in my park to assinate me long before the primary election; so, I'll be forgotten along with my efforts to share what all I've learned over these years, how I've survived. My name is Nancy Canfield; the mobile park is Colony Cove Mobile Estates 17700 Avalon Blvd. Carson, CA 90746 and I live in space #106
