Take a look at this platform of TODD CHRETIEN, and tell me who is the Democrat--Chretien or Feinstein?

Bring the Troops Home NOW | Abolish the USA Patriot Act | Build Schools Not Jails | Create Decent Jobs with Union Rights | Defend Abortion Rights | End the Death Penalty and Three Strikes | Equal Rights for Immigrants | Legalize Gay Marriage | National Health Care | Punish Corporate Polluters | Raise Taxes on the Richest 1%

Do you agree with this Chretien platform? On at least 8 out of 11 of these items, Feinstein is on the WRONG SIDE!

So, WHAT ARE WE DOING voting for Feinstein, and not Chretien? We are supporting more war in the Middle East, more Patriot Act destruction of our civil rights, more jails, fewer decent jobs with union rights, more state murder and incarceration, no national health care, more corporate pollution and more tax breaks for the rich.

That's Feinstein--and she hires, appoints and promotes people like Angela Bradstreet WHO ARE OPENLY DECLARING CLASS WARFARE.

Personally, I think I've had it with this. This loyal California Democratic voter of 40 years is ready to vote Green on this one.

I found out too late about the great leftist Democratic candidate--Michael Strimling--who ran for CA governor in the Angelides/Wesley race. I voted for him but didn't have much time to spread the word. I was very unhappy with the two Dem candidates. Angelides is head and shoulders above Schwarzenegger (a Ken Lay/George Schultz project to deny Calif any recompense from the Enron $9 billion theft from this state, and a general Bushite project to turn Calif into a "red" state--don't be fooled by any B.S. Schwarzenegger IS NOT A CENTRIST!) But Angelides is something of a Davis clone--big on the big contributing unions, pro-capital punishment, pro-prison-industrial complex, etc.--quite vague on a lot of things, and nowhere near being the leftist we need. He is like a "maintenance" candidate--trying to maintain something that we got robbed of already--our prosperity, AND much of our democracy.

Compare and contrast with former state senator DEBRA BOWEN who is running for CA Secretary of State--there is a flame in her, a sense that you are connecting with a very smart and passionate individual who is going to damn well clean up this election system.

I'm voting for Angelides, for much the same reasons I voted for Kerry (thinking all the votes would be counted--which didn't happen then, and ain't gonna happen now): that the alternative is a dangerous fascist.

Voting for a Green is problem for me. I will need to feel reassured that the Republican candidate Dick Mountjoy has no chance of winning. I get the sense that he is a throwaway candidate--not serious. But I don't know for sure. There are 2 or 3 issues on which Feinstein and I agree (mainly women's rights). On MOST other things--also matters of vital interest--she might as well be a Bushite. And it is people like her about whom I feel the most acute sense of betrayal. Bush--what can you expect? Bushites are Bushites--the lowest species of life on earth. But a Democratic Bushite? What is that? Some kind of ugly, malformed thing like a platypus or a hyena.
