Unpopular Diane Feinstein on CNBC says They will break Bush's 87 B

[KoKo]

into pieces to confine him......because the Budget of 87 B is "SUSPICIOUS" and that Bush want's it RAilroaded and Pushed through without question...but that Congress will NOT DO THIS.......they will question and give him only the parts that he needs to suppor the troops.

They say Bush goes to 49% APPOVAL RATING>>>>>>Wall Street Journal Poll! Just released.......they are now talking about the numbers sayin this poll is the LOWEST OF HIS PRESIDENCY AND SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!!

6. There's a big scam going on with Halliburton in Iraq

From Riverbend's blog

As for employing the locals… things are becoming a little bit clearer. Major reconstruction contracts are being given to the huge companies, like Bechtel and Halliburton, for millions of dollars. These companies, in turn, employ the Iraqis in the following way: they first ask for bids on specific projects. The Iraqi company with the lowest bid is selected to do the work. The Iraqi company gets *exactly* what it bid from the huge conglomerate, which is usually only a fraction of the original contract price. Hence, projects that should cost $1,000,000 end up costing $50,000,000.

Now, call me naïve, or daft, or whatever you want, but wouldn’t it be a. more economical and b. more profitable to the Iraqis to hand the work over directly to experienced Iraqi companies? Why not work directly with one of the 87 companies and factories that once worked under the ‘Iraqi Military Council’ and made everything from missiles to electrical components? Why not work directly with one of the 158 factories and companies under the former Ministry of Industry and Minerals that produced everything from candy to steel girders? Why not work with the bridge, housing and building companies under the Ministry of Housing that have been heading the reconstruction efforts ever since 1991?

Some of the best engineers, scientists, architects and technicians are currently out of work because their companies have nothing to do and there are no funds to keep them functioning. The employees get together a couple of days a week and spend several hours brooding over ‘istikans’ of lukewarm tea and ‘finjans’ of Turkish coffee. Instead of spending the endless billions on multinational companies, why not spend only millions on importing spare parts and renovating factories and plants?

Just who are we supposed to be heling in Iraq? The Halliburton contract is classified so this is all going on completely under the radar. This needs to be investigated. Democrats should not budge until they get a full accounting.

2. Feinstein, Kennedy and Kerry are on the same page. GOOD!

At the last debate Kerry said the 87 bil. had to have a full accounting first before he'd vote for it, then Kennedy made his now famous accusations, and now Feinstein. This is GREAT!

7. Why do you need to describe her as "unpopular"?

[Cappurr]

9. Well....

I don't like her at all. But I'd never describe her as "unpopular" I have no idea what her popularity is. :shrug:

[ParanoidPat]

12. I'll try to dig up some of the e-mails I received from her....

....from during the Iraq war and Patriot Act debates where I asked her as my elected representative to vote no. She not so politely told me to go to hell and that she knew what's best for me and my family! She also said that she was aware that her constituents were mostly AGAINST the war and PA but she didn't care, she was going to vote her conscience. Not the best way to win your next election or a popularity contest. :(

8. the House of Lords gets a real spine???

Welcome back to work, Senators! Now fight and save the goddamn country!

Seriously, start working off that bad karma. You'll know you're done when we are no longer trying to END THE WORLD.

thanks!

10. Well, isn't that nice

NOW, when Shrub's numbers are sinking into the the toilet, she finally grows a pair.

Sorry, DiFi, but the time to grow a spine was BEFORE that war vote and that Patriot Act vote and that Homeland Security Vote . . . I could go on but you get the picture.

11. "Unpopular"?

Was that the way Diane was presented? Odd.
