Can we start naming names around here?
Someone ran a thread today mentioning Alan Grayson’s comments which attacked the Democrats in Congress who consistently do not stand up yo the middle class..
REsponders to the thread reacted by asking for names.
Well I propose that each of us name the names of those Democrats who represent the states they
reside in.
I will start with this...California is my state:

Today, “Democratic” Senate Leader Di Feinstein Voted Down Food Stamps

For many of us, this is a bit of a surprise. Especially given how much this Senator likes governmental programs that offer up lots of money.
After all, not only is this woman one of the top people in the Democratic Party, she is also married to Richard Blum, financial speculator extra ordinaire!
So please do not be bummed out by Di Fi’s vote today. After all, I can assure you that the very moment that her husband can figure out a way to direct some of the Food Stamp Program’s monies into the couple’s bank account(s), will be the exact moment that she will decide that the Food Stamp program is very very very valuable to impoverished Californians.
I don’t know how it is that Richard hasn’t figured out a way to profit from Food Stamps yet. If JP Morgan’s people can get 25 or 50 cents every time a Food Stamp Transaction is processed, surely Richard-Dear and Diane-Sweetums can do something similar.
Feinstein’s past history figures into all of this: after she achieved prominence inside the Democratic Party in the US Senate, she re-vamped the Senate Ethics code so that it is no longer a conflict of interest to vote for something if you achieve massive financial gain on that vote. Then she voted for the Iraq War resolution, and within several months of our getting into the Iraq war, Richard was worth some 27 millions of dollars due him on his new war contracts! A few years later, and the couple bought a gorgeous home in the SF Presidio neighborhood, with its cost being 16 million bucks.
The SF Chronicle explained that the view from that the couple’s new home had a view “to die for.” Not so funny thing is – over 4,487 American service people did die for them to have that view, and some 32,226 were wounded. You would think this fair lady of the Senate would allow these wounded vets to have Food Stamps, while she and Richard enjoy that view!
