Women in Politics
The first article link below was found at Leaning Straight Up. The other two from a search of Feinstein in a search engine. We offer these for you to chew on tonight until we put some more data together. Until then, read these reports and start forming an opinion if you don’t already have one. Keep in mind that in a year where women are getting more press in the political arena, it may not all be news helpful to women. Even though, you know who, is getting the most publicity, there are three women politicians representing California that deserve more attention but not the kind they would like. Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Diane Feinstein and of course Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
We focus tonight on Diane Feinstein. But wasn’t she the one, along with Boxer, whining to make exceptions in immigration rules to allow one and a half million illegals to stay in California to protect their greedy ag and hospitality lobbies and businesses? It could be that Feinstein is the sponsor of the Senate bill to put a deadline on cut and run in Iraq. Big money, big contracts, absent ethics in a ‘drain the swamp’ campaign proposed by new Speaker of the House Air Pelosi. Looks like it’s business as usual folks and the Dems said they were going to clean up Washington. Stay tuned, there’ll be more. We may get them to admit they really meant clean up IN Washington. A disturbing recurrence of ‘to the victor go the spoils.’
