Feinstein corruption worse than Cunningham?

[Kaylee]

*ahem*

Remember, this is Feinstein we're talking about. You know, the Feinstein that pushed hard for the AWB renewal a couple years ago? The one who seems to get her jollies posing in front of reporters with an AK knockoff bleating about how dangerous it is? "Mr and Mrs America, turn them all in" Dianne Feinstein?

Feinstein is not just a greasy politician. She is one of the handful of people in the Senate who has made it her freaking mission since she got there to disarm us. Along with Schumer, Kennedy, maybe a couple others, she's not just anti, she is militantly anti, and a leader at pushing, not just voting for, anti bills. Heck, I'd say she's the most rabid of all of all of 'em.

So yeah, it's DEFINATELY RKBA related.

Keep in mind - they can't keep on repeating the same old stories over and over... How many times have you seen the Cunningham scandal brought back fdrom the dead? I haven't.

The difference is:
Cunningham was booted and convicted. Justice was served.

Yeah the door was cracked and yeah the media dropped it. What do you expect to happen? Dianne is a darling of the anti-second amendment crowd. She can not be put into a negative light.

Now that the door is crack I wonder if we'll get a further look into her room. The lady has major ethical issues and MILCON is merely a warm up. Look for Chinese influence on her hubby's success.

Then I presume you are making this comment in the threads on Bush and Gonzales. The latter (a couple if memory serves) are up to several pages.

Ah, but those threads had everything to do with RKBA, and general civil rights under the Patriot act, this topic has nothing to do with either.

It's also not very High Road to continously assert falsehoods. This forum deals with other civil rights than RKBA, include equal protection and due process. Disparate treatment for similar acts violates both.

I am pointing out the fact that this thread is about bashing a politician, almost every comment made is about how evil Fienstien and Democrats are, and nothing to do with their know stance on gun control. If this topic was about Bush, I would be saying the same thing.

If you don't like how the course of the conversation is going, work to change it, rather than shutting it down with false statements that this forum is dedicated only to the RKBA.

What you just stated has nothing to do with this topic being discussed. If we where discussing her comments about RKBA, than it would be fine, but since it has to do with her ethics, which we already know are not high on her list, this has nothing what so ever to do with RKBA or any civil rights. Politicians are sleazy by nature. Get over it.

And what and whose civil rights is she violating by being sleazy?

 

[Glockamolie]

If she was prosecuted and put in prison, she wouldn't be doing much anti-gun legislating, would she?

 

[cbsbyte]

f she was prosecuted and put in prison, she wouldn't be doing much anti-gun legislating, would she?

Yes, she wouldn't be trying to pass any legislation behind bars, but I am quite sure her replacement will pick up where she left off.

 

[buzz_knox]

My suggestion to everyone is to focus on the issue at hand (whether Feinstein is receiving disparate treatment because of her political affiliation) and ignore the efforts to divert the thread and get it locked.

Well, I live in her state, so I think cbsbyte sounds extremely ignorant for someone who is so quick to tell others about what's what.

The following facts are things that most people here probably already know. That's why they didn't ask how this has to do with RKBA. If you don't, listen up.

Here's how this relates to RKBA:

1. Feinstein, like many Senators, has an office for life. No one in California can muster up the funds, etc., to challenge her. Not the Democrats who don't like her, not the GOP, not even the Governator who kisses her ass when she runs. Now there's a REASON no one can challenge her. Money is a big reason.

2. Feinstein is one of the chief opponents of RKBA in all of Congress. She is a senior Senator, so she has clout that many others do not have. This means she, like some others, must be appeased in order for some bills to see the light of day. That's how the Senate works, on either side of the aisle; currently her party is in the majority, so that gives her even more clout.

3. If she is unseated, the next campaign for her seat goes from nonexistent to wide-open. That is a BIG DEAL for RKBA, and anyone who has a clue about politics knows this already.

4. The only way she will be unseated is if her extreme corruption is exposed and she is forced out of office, or if she retires or dies.

We shouldn't have to repeat a litany of well-known facts every time we mention any politician, no matter which "side" he/she is on.

Furthermore, Cunningham doesn't come up again except as a way to make a comparison with others, because HE'S IN JAIL. Feinstein, on the other hand, is still in office. He has no power, even over his own circumstances. She still has power over ours. Capiche?

IMHO....the media is the most currupt center of power in the USA today.

The power to pick and chose just what gets reported is HUGE. And they decide for the average Joe just what is important enough for him to hear about and what he should never no.

If you could get the FCC to drop the broadcast liscence for one of the major networks for 60 days due to "failure to serve the public interest" you'd see some scared media execs. wet there pants and the age of the minority point of view manipulating the media would come to and end.

It'll never happen though, as the politicians will always cow tow to the media, for without them they could never get elected.

[Kinda old news... I read about it a couple months ago, via that same "MSM" you're bashing. Keep in mind - they can't keep on repeating the same old stories over and over...]

You are somewhat right in that they reported it. Perhaps the real issue is HOW the media pursues or reports something and what their end goals are. The media only attacks one party while WE have ONE political party that is a threat to RKBA and it ain't the media targeted Republicans.

I challenge you to honestly remember the media's coverage of Cunningham, before his conviction and how often they gave voice to Pelosi's "atmosphere of corruption" slogan. Include remembering the constantly outraged, baseless but destructive media rants against Gingrich, Rove, Libby, DeLay, et al, against their very low key reporting of actual illegal wrongdoing by Clintons, Jefferson, Burger, Gore, Reid, Murtha, Fienstien, etc. The contrast isn't so much that media didn't report on them but how little they reported and the soft attutudes of the coverage.

If our friends are constanly demonised as a group, and they are, while our enemy's flaws passed over, individually, by very low key reporting, that's not a level playing field. FOX News is level and the others hate them for it. The MSM media induces hordes of sheeple to vote for our attackers, my friend.

Liberals are not our friends, surely you know that. The media is predominately liberal, by a very large margin. The media DOES VOTE for Liberals/Democrats by something >90 % and that outlook DOES AFFECT who and how they mass attack vs. softly report without outrage! Media's slanted coverage hurts gun owners and the constitution, it's surprising that some of us still don't get the connection.

Has anyone here ever heard of a company called Haliburton?

Question, would posting a link in our sig lines to the original article (like the airplane pictures link that some have) give this article enough activity to do any good? Don't title it as anything specific like "Feinstein is Corrupt" just "Sen. Feinstein" or "Feinstein". Mods if this suggestion risks crossing any lines please remove it.
