So Feinstien thinks wse need to get out of Afghanistan and McCain
is beating the drums of war again? Dianne finally decides to stand up and say something that makes sense. What is going on in Congress? It is like they have been practicing a minuet or another of those old 17th century court dances. All form and no so substance, where partners nod and give meaningful glances as they pass and we're cast as the wallflowers assigned to watch the "beautiful people" and try to decipher the next scandal in court.

I'm so disgusted with these people anymore. Both sides. I'm so pissed that I worked so hard and donated to some of them when we were struggling here on barely one income. I also feel impotent in that there is not one person up there to address who appears to give a rat's patootie about what any of us say. Don't have enough money, don't hang out with the right people, don't work in the right place. I'm enraged at them and at the bubbling cauldron of hate they've stirred up and poured over the nation. It's hard not to imagine some of them in their soirees making snide nasally remarks about the great unwashed. I'm certain one or two have proposed cake for our diets or our children.

We freaking need to march for change with a capital "C"--change in healthcare, foreign policy, war policy, financial policy, and then we need to vote quite a few out.

2. I have really given up on our lawmakers especially in the Senate.
They seem to have no clue as to any reality that I'm observing.

3. I find Feinstein to be refreshing.
A true progressive who understands that overseas adventurism can become more streamlined with our future fighters (unmanned aircraft). We can kill the terrorists from safely within the Homeland and not risk the lives of our brave young men and women. The Repulitards in Senate just want their buddies in the Defense firms stuff their pockets with more cash by having our soldiers stationed in the Middle East.

4. You sure you didn't take a wrong turn somewhere? No one I know
considers Feinstien a progressive, particularly when it comes to issues of war and defense.
