Defeat pro-Israel Sen. Feinstein in 2006

by California Voter
California Senator Dianne Feinstein plans to promote Israel when Congress returns from wasting our tax dollars on Monday, April 8, commonly known as the spring recess, to waste even more tax dollars by giving more money to Israel to murder the Palestinians so that Israel can be a bastion of pro-US oil imperialism. Californians must defeat Dianne Feinstein in the election of 2006. It is time this millionaire fossil be sent to her long overdue retirement.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein plans to promote Israel when Congress returns from wasting our tax dollars, on Monday, April 8, commonly known as the spring recess, to waste even more tax dollars by giving more money to Israel to murder the Palestinians so that Israel can be a bastion of pro-US oil imperialism. Californians must defeat Dianne Feinstein in the election of 2006. It is time this millionaire fossil be sent to her long overdue retirement.

Dianne Feinstein won reelection in 2000 with only 56% of the vote, not good for someone who is supposed to be a popular incumbent, having sat in office since 1993. So long as the millionaire's club and concession to the slaveholding states commonly known as the US Senate exists, we can make a point by either running a pro-Palestinian candidate or simply not voting for Dianne Feinstein, if you have been making the terrible mistake of voting for this very reactionary senator. There is absolutely nothing liberal about Dianne Feinstein. In the long run, the US Senate should be abolished and the House of Representatives' districts should be expanded so that parties that win at least 5% of the vote in a given district should have at least one vote in the House for that district.

If the Feinstein fans are laughing, as one who easily remembers the victories of peace candidates during the Vietnam War against entrenched incumbents, I suggest that those who laugh first, laugh last.

The same is true for all the other promoters of Israel in the Senate and House. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL. If that means you must skip that position, please do so. Only vote for those who want to cut off ALL US aid to Israel. You should apply this principle to all candidates at all levels of government since we cannot have both guns and butter. That means you should not vote for Gov. Gray Davis as this good Democrat is certainly pro-Israel (as is Republican Bill Simon).

Human decency and our economic needs mandate that we finally stop giving Israel any money. Israel currently receives $4 billion annually above the table and $4 billion annually below the table to be the cop for US oil imperialism, thwarting all revolutionary struggle that might nationalize the oil companies. That is the reason for the constant expansionist, genocidal warfare in which Israel is engaged, all paid for with our tax dollars.

CUT OFF US AID TO ISRAEL NOW.

Fossils never hurt anyone. Not like DiFi.

I just sent an email to Feinstein thanking her for her support of Israel, and will make a modest donation tomorrow to AIPAC in honor of this thread. Cheers!

I just took a shit in front of her downtown office with the hopes she'll see the analogy between it and her.

Thanks!

I would like to voice my complete diagreement with your stand.
As a Bay Area resident, I would like to be counted as one who stands with Israel, the state of Israel and the people of Israel.
I am not Jewish but my support of any politicians will be based on their attitude towards Israel.
America MUST continue to stand with Israel, the only democracy in the sea of violent Islamic fanatic groups. I'm glad to see my tax dollars go in support of Israel.
Dianne Feinstein already has my support.
Thank you.
Long Live Israel!!!!!!!

Raymond: are you aware that your tax dollars go to support violent Islamic governments, such as Saudi Arabia, who are just a little bit less intolerant and harsh than the Taliban?

The Middle East had moderate Arab governments, but the US has taken a fondness to overthrowing them. For example, in Iran, Mossadegh was overthrown by the CIA so that the Shah was put in (the CIA then trained the Shah's secret police in torture). The revolution that threw out the Shah put in the current, strict Islamic regime.

Perhaps you should dig a little deeper to understand why the dynamics in the Middle East are what they are, including the US's role in maintaining them. At the very least, the US weapons makers make money selling arms to all sides.
