I heard Diane Feinstein in an interview the other day regarding the Senate Intelligence Committee. She answered the questions with calm intellectual-integrity and spoke to the bipartisan nature of the committee and how the committee was moving forward - being ever complimentary toward the Chairman Mr. Burr…
That of course is complete BULL!
Mr Burr , who before the election, was joking about Hillary Clinton being shot (see link below) - only now, grudgingly, is moving forward because the Washington Post and NY Times have forced his hand. But Diane and others like her in the Democratic Party continue to line up at the microphones and peddle political mush that will only serve to lose more elections.
No matter what polls say about voter desire for bipartisanship — it’s nonsense - and in the future sociologists can diagnose the cognitive dissonance that drives voters to say they want it but cast every vote for divisive candidates like Burr and Trump.
And to repeat a point I have made before - you never hear a Republican speaking on any topic - that doesn’t pivot to say Obama-care is exploding and we need tax reform. Yet over and over again political mush peddlers like Diane Feinstein step up on TV and radio and never pivot. Their words have the effect of a Snapchat post: In a very short time they just vanish quietly into the ether.
The fact is, if they have an agenda at all - it appears to be dangling ones legs on both sides of a fence. It is certain they do not believe in a progressive agenda as represented by Bernie and Elizabeth.
It’s time for Tom Perez and his establishment mush peddlers, like Diane, to get off the stage. Let’s have a progressive party with a passion for an agenda that includes human rights, economic fairness, and environmental justice.
I want to win elections - but if I have to lose them I want to go down voting for people and things I believe in.
In private, Burr quips about gun owners shooting Clinton
