1. She Wants A Fellow Voter For War In The White House?
Some sort of political cover?

5. Her husband has a vested interest in war:
Army contract for Feinstein's husband
Blum is a director of firm that will get up to $600 million
David R. Baker, Chronicle Staff Writer
Tuesday, April 22, 2003


URS Corp., a San Francisco planning and engineering firm partially owned by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband, landed an Army contract Monday worth up to $600 million.
The award to help with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terrorism efforts is the latest in a string of plum defense jobs snared by URS. In February, the firm won an army engineering and logistics contract that could bring in $3.1 billion during the next eight years.

Government contracting has come under increasing scrutiny by Congress and citizen groups, with critics decrying the political connections of firms winning lucrative jobs. Richard Blum, Feinstein's husband, serves on the company's board of directors and controls about 24 percent of the firm's stock,
according to Hoover's Inc. research firm.

A Feinstein spokesman Monday declined to comment on the contract.

7. among URS's board of directors is Martin Koffel who has long ties to the Bechtel family
big time war profiteers and has long been complicit in terrible third world "development" deals. They have extensive ties to the Bush family and the Republican leadership for the last 30-40 years.

least of her sins.

3. Because (and I say this as someone who voted for her twice) . . .
She's a jerk. While I happen to think that an Obama-Clinton ticket is highly intriguing -- maybe even unstoppable -- it's not Feinstein's call, and such a statement is (if I interpret it correctly) way out of line.

On the other hand, Obama, *does* need Clinton campaigning for him, because she (plus Bill, if he behaves) brings throw weight second only to Obama's himself.

4. Feinstein is really part of the Military NWO machine
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-USx-kCXX3M

When asking about US's involvement with bombing Syria she just takes the stance of what ever the Intel says it is...

So she did question Intel on why they didn't share their infor with the IAEA

she definitely speaks with fork tongue

6. If she means that Obama needs the support of Hillary voters that is certainly
...true and Obama knows this, but that does NOT mean Hillary should be Obama's running mate. Obama can reward Hillary with a seat on the Supreme Court and I guarantee Hillary will take that olive branch. It would be great for the country and Hillary

10. She sounds as corrupt as Pelosi
I think we need a huge broom to clean house with these dems that are making money off this war.
I think given the circustances Diane should keep her opinions to herself.
Thank you for all the replies,I wasnt aware of any of this.
It is actually quite scary as to how many people are making money from the deaths of our troops and the Iraqi people

13. Diane Feinstein is a good example of what "TRADE SECRET" code voting machines
can do.

We not only need a Big Broom to sweep politicians like her out of power, we need a Big Pail--like as big as 'Boston Harbor'--to throw these devil machines into.

15. There are a lot of dems that are making money
off this war and we need to get rid of them,like pelosi,reid,conyers and everyone who we elected to get rid of bush and then after they were elected keep saying impeachment is off the table.If a democrat did half of what bush and cheney did they would be in prison.Why cant they be stopped???
If it is this easy for them to get away with all they have done it will be easy for them to plan something and then declare marshall law.They have a lot of their blackwater assasins building huge facilities all over this planet,including near San Diego And Cour'de Lane Idaho.WHy are they builing all these places and training paid killers in tis country???
