Schumer & Feinstein - Principled stands behind their votes? Why then dump news late Friday?
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 07:19 PM by NoodleyAppendage
No. Their votes are neither principled nor well considered. They both know that their votes are unpopular and potentially damaging to their constituencies, which is why the DINO TRAITORS "document dumped" the news that they would be turn-coats on late Friday...thereby potentially avoiding wide attention to their traitorous acts.

Feinstein is voting with Bush, as with many other votes with the Neocon cabal, because they have her by the cajones. She's been a blackmail victim for her inside deals for her husband and the defense industry for years. She's damaged goods and turnable to save her neck...screw the country.

Schumer, I'm not so certain of his motivation, but I do know that his late Friday document dump belies an understanding that his support for Bush's next AG is morally wrong and repugnant.

Dem leaders. Who needs enemies when we destroy ourselves from the inside? United front against tyranny, my ass.

1. Feinstein Has Voted With the Repigs Every Time Since Bush "Took Her for a Ride" on AF1

2. Exactly. She's tainted. I'm convinced they're blackmailing her.
Feinstein prior to revelations of possible serious conflicts of interest dealings involving her husband and the defense industry was a fairly solid Dem. Now, however, you can count on her to talk tough but ultimately tow the BFEE/Neocon line.
