Feinstein and Levin

What the hell is wrong with these two?



Didn't they learn anything from Iraq?

But the caution in one part of Washington did little to influence lawmakers across town, who -- on the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq -- rose to demand swift and decisive military action if the chemical attack reports prove true.

Two top foreign policy lawmakers, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), separately called for the White House to step up military action in Syria, with Graham arguing that Obama should consider having American troops "get on the ground" to help secure chemical weapons sites.

Later in the evening, the heads of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), joined forces on CNN to say that they believed chemical weapons had likely been used, without offering evidence. They said the White House should consider military action.

"If in fact we prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they have used these chemical weapons ... I think we are morally obligated to do something about their ability to deliver these weapons," said Rogers. "And if that was a very limited military strike to do that -- again, I think we're morally obligated to do that."

She voted for the 2001 Bush tax cuts, which were projected at the time to cost $1.35 trillion, the Iraq war resolution in the fall of 2002 and Bush’s Medicare prescription drug package in 2003

as I've gone back to review the votes taken by Dems on Just Key issues--
Think about it: NAFTA/CAFTA/DOMA/The Repeal of Glass-Steagall=Clinton Pres.

Then yep-we've got just enough corp Dems supporting GOP for Wars, Patriot Act, Bank Bail Out, NDAA, No Prosecution for either Wall Street and War Crimes....

When Reid broke his 2012 Promise to restore the Filibuster back to Talking Filibusters with no secret holds? This was the final straw for Me.
I've been dedicated to the Dem party for more than 50 years.
Votes are the ONLY thing that matters, cuz thats where the proverbial "Rubber Hits the Road"---All their pretty words for the cameras--blech---Campaign Promises aren't really promises but rather Bait!
It simply doesn't matter whether we've got a Dem or GOP or Tea Party---If they Vote Against the Best Interest of "Us" and Agaisnt our "Majority Will"---We have a Congressional Problem---Not a "GOP" Problem.
The evidence is there, a matter of Public Record...if we want to see what is there and accept our findings as fact.

VOTES MATTER

She and her corrupt hubby have many financial ties to the MIC. War is good for her portfolio. I have no idea why she keeps getting elected in California. She is as poor a choice for the peoples rep as Meg Whitman would be.
