The aging and ostensibly Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California
has refused to meet with Cindy Sheehan, so Cindy dressed her down:
At this point, I don't believe that Dianne Feinstein represents her constituents (of which I am one), the people of California. Not only is she weak on the Iraq issue, she introduced Condi ("smoking gun") Rice for her confirmation hearing and she called John (Death Squad) Negroponte "a great public servant." If she refuses to be a leader on getting our troops out of Iraq, then we the people of California need to withdraw our support of her.
Cindy Sheehan is just about the perfect candidate to take down Feinstein, who is quite possibly the worst Democrat in the senate. Rumors have persisted that Feinstein will not seek re-election. Either way it doesn't matter: we have no room for a "moderate" seat. There's no good reason to have a neoconservative Democrat running from the left in a statewide California race. Cindy for Senate '06!
