The California Democratic Party

The Resolutions committee of the California Democratic Party has to give full consideration to the following article of censure...

Whereas Senator Dianne Feinstein voted to support the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey as United States Attorney General, thereby elevating to the highest position in law enforcement a man who refused to renounce the right of the President to resort to torture and who refused to recognize waterboarding as a form of torture, and by this action Senator Feinstein failed to oppose President Bush and failed to stand for the ideals of the Democratic Party, which abhors torture and stands firmly against its use by the United States at all times and places; and

 

 

Whereas Senator Feinstein voted to confirm Judge Leslie Southwick for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit despite his clear record of racism and gender discrimination, thus failing to stand firmly with the Democratic Party, which supports gender equality and opposes racism in any of its manifestations; and

 

 

Whereas these examples are far from the only instances where Senator Feinstein, after seeking and securing the support and endorsement of the California Democratic Party, has failed to support the policies and principles of our party

 

 

Therefore be it resolved that the California Democratic Party expresses its disappointment at, and censure of, Senator Feinstein for ignoring Democratic principles and falling so far below the standard of what we expect of our elected officials. 


She acts more like a Republican every day.... so censure is an appropriate action. Maybe she'll get the message or become a Republican.

Tuesday...(it should be Monday)

Shared the ride with the son and grandson of my friend Steve this
morning, he was heading for Huntington Beach to get his kid back to his
ex-girlfriend after a weekend in Anza.

What's the fascination with Ron Paul? He's a closet racist, he's a
Republican, but he appeals to the people who seem to have never been
involved in politics before. He is really a Libertarian.

Also, I'm very disappointed with the Democratic candidates. They seem to
be working hard to make themselves into the Republicans we hate. They
have no plans for getting us out of Iraq except for some stale rhetoric.
They accept money from questionable sources; they are not the Democrats
I want to lead us.

Support Dennis Kucinich and keep the impeachment resolution alive. Write
your congressperson. Mine of course would never support it, she's a
diehard Republican. She does serve our area well, but some of her stands
on issues are annoying.

Diane Feinstein

Are we seeing the next Joe Lieberman? Another Democrat for Bush? Is she going to be an 'independent' on the next ballot? (The Republicans will vote for her...)
