Feinstein backs Condi Rice, 9/11 liar [View All]

[yurbud]

Who exactly does Feinstein represent? When she does shit like this, along with not standing up against election fraud, she's drifting into Zell Miller territory.

The most likely reason is business connections who don't want her to make waves, which is why we have to purge corporate money from the democratic party, or purge our own votes and put them and our energy in a new party.


Calif. Senators Argue Over Rice Nomination

WASHINGTON - The two high-profile Democrats who represent California in the Senate are squaring off over Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites), the president's nominee to be secretary of state.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (news, bio, voting record), the senior and more moderate of the two, supports Rice and plans to introduce her at her confirmation hearing Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.


That's where Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), a member of the committee, will be waiting to grill Rice over the war in Iraq (news - web sites). Boxer maintains that Rice misled the public over the war.


While Feinstein has supported the war, Boxer has been a strong critic of it.


Rice, Bush's national security adviser, lists California as her residence after having served for six years as provost of Stanford University, Feinstein's alma mater. It's customary for nominees to ask home-state senators to introduce them at confirmation hearings.


Feinstein accepted Rice's invitation to introduce her to the committee, and praised her in a statement Friday as "the natural choice to be our country's next secretary of state."


Boxer gave a hint Friday on how she is expected to greet Rice at the Tuesday hearing.


"I personally believe that your loyalty to the mission you were given overwhelmed your respect for the truth," Boxer plans to tell Rice, according to prepared remarks she released Friday.
