		<description>The only reason to focus on 1% of the Senate, Mrs Clinton, is to obscure the responsibility of those who launched this immoral and unnecessary war of aggression against another sovereign nation.

Where's the outrage?

Why constantly change the subject, away from true responsibility?</description>

		<description>Thanks John.

Feinstein.

"One company alone earned $792 million from military construction and environmental cleanup projects approved by Feinstein’s committee and another $759 million."

The keyword is EARNED.

No company in which Feinstein owned a controlling interest EARNED billions. 

We've been there and done that.

Her husband, Richard Blum does not have a controlling interest or even such a large interest in these 'companies' as to require public disclosure under SEC rules.

I looked up the information. Gave the links. Provided the hard, harsh facts.

Glad your memory of names is better than mine.

My wife has more ownership in those companies than Feinstein's husband through her 401(k).

Your facts are wrong it was Feinstein and she did make a lot of money off the Iraq war. 


SENATOR FEINSTEIN MUST GO!!!
It is not enough that she just resign her chair on the military committee for abusing her power to enrich her family. The Democratic lawmakers ran on a “culture of corruption” in 06. If they mean what they say FEINSTEIN SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE SENATE! Can anyone give a good reason why Feinstein should still be in the Senate? Thanks Mike for the hat tip!
CC-A veteran California senator has resigned as chair of a powerful military construction committee after reports that for years she abused her position to award her husband’s companies billions of dollars in government contracts.
During her six years as chair and ranking member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Senator Dianne Feinstein annually supervised the appropriation of billions of dollars for specific military construction projects. The San Francisco lawmaker supervised her own staff of military construction experts and she lobbied Pentagon officials to support her favorite projects. 
She wielded quite a bit of power and succeeded in steering hundreds of billions of dollars in military contracts to companies partially owned by her wealthy husband, Richard Blum. One company alone earned $792 million from military construction and environmental cleanup projects approved by Feinstein’s committee and another $759 million</description>

		<description>John,

Do you remember the Pelosi posts?

How Pelosi was making millions and millions of dollars from the Iraq war?

But, when the financials of the companies were examined, it wasn't true?

If you links lead to false information, it's still false information.

And, you're not linking to best source or first source information.

You're linking, always linking, to partisan, biased, and worthless sources. 

Instead of cutting and pasting from .com and .org, why not link to .gov where the voting records are at least accurate?

Allegations that Hilliary voted this way or that way from a biased or hearsay source is worthless for fact finding.

Hell, John, I can get a .org url. 

Does that make me an expert on anything?

		<description>John,

I've doubled checked a lot of your facts on this blog. So have other folks. Your reputation for finding and presenting verifiable facts is very poor.

If you were testifying under oath in a murder trial, as a juror I would discard all your testimony.

Having said that, let's assume you have traveled through time and space, entered the mind and heart of Hilliary Clinton.

Now you are the only person in the whole to know everything that is to be known about the internal workings of Hilliary Clinton.

What did you find?

She's the most arrogant, cold hearted, calculating, self-promoting, pompous, pretentious, bossy, dominant, lying politician in the history of the United States.

Yes, given all that, Hilliary is not qualified to be President.

She should take up quail hunting and become the greatest Vice President of all time.</description>

		<description>Carlonie and MD please do not let the facts get in the way you feel about Hillary!

CP-Mrs Clinton’s problem is that she very willingly suspended disbelief in 2002. When it came time to deliver her Senate speech in support of the war, she reiterated some of the most outlandish claims made by Dick Cheney. In this speech she said Saddam Hussein had rebuilt his chemical and biological weapons program; that he had improved his long-range missile capability; that he was reconstituting his nuclear weapons program; and that he was giving aid and comfort to Al Qaeda. The only other Democratic senator to make all four of these claims in his floor speech was Joe Lieberman. But even he didn’t go as far as Senator Clinton. In Lieberman’s speech, there was conditionality about some of the claims. In Senator Clinton’s, there was none, though even the grotesque war hawk, Ken Pollack, advising Senator Clinton prior to her vote, had told her that the allegation about the Al Qaeda connection was “bullshit.”

Later, as the winds of opinion changed, Senator Clinton claimed – and continues to do so to this day – that hers was a vote not for war but for negotiation. In fact, the record shows that only hours after the war authorization vote Senator voted against the Democratic resolution that would have required Bush to seek a diplomatic solution before launching the war.

		<description>John,

You don't have a clue in all of this. In this endless stream of blaming Hilliary Clinton for the actions of Bush, you conveniently ignore that Clark was forced into retirement. That Clark had been discredited at WACO, That at the time of the Bush led charge into Iraq, Clark was working with an investment group. 

You're pretty much doing the same thing as saying Truman's Senate should have listened to EX-General MacArther. Which meant using at least 20 atomic bombs in China to save Big Daddy Mac from the Red Hordes. 

You're upside down, backwards, and head over heels in love with Hilliary. And, Hilliary just can't stand you. Poor jilted lover that you are ...

MOVE ON!</description>

		<description>John,
You have been trying to make her equally responsible. I never said I trusted her. I said that you didn't prove that she lied. You are putting words in my mouth. I could make the argument that all politicians can't be trusted. The odd thing is the ones who actually do everything they say they are going to do like Bush end up being the worst Presidents.

Trust is overrated. 90% of Americans trusted Bush after 9/11 and look where that got us. I think skepticism is in order for EVERYONE. My only beef is that criticisms should be based on facts.</description>
