Question

War profiteer.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54932

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has abruptly walked away from her responsibilities with the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee after a report linked her votes to the financial well-being of her husband's companies, which received billions of dollars worth of military construction contracts she approved.

"Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases – often without the benefit of competitive bidding – to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife's watch," he wrote.

Answer 1

BUT!! BUT !! HALLIBURTON!!! CARLYLE!!!

The standard lib answer any time something bad about one of their royalty comes up.

Not that the uber-conservatives are much better, crying "Clinton" every time something critical of Bush comes up, but why not address the issue instead of deflecting it?

Answer 2

you opt to study your figures. i became unmarried in 1999, making more suitable than 30K and that i did not pay everywhere close to $8400 in taxes. EDIT - "18 on Feb 17", it extremely is only unfaithful. the speed of non strive against deaths between armed forces workers became larger interior the Reagan, Bush 40-one and Bush 40 2 administrations than it became in the course of the Clinton administration.

Answer 3

It is the age old problem with politics. Money is what keeps them interested, not our problems here. I'm sure that this will come out about quite a few politicians from both parties. A society of sheep must beget a government of wolves.

Answer 4

You can't conclude that because Feinstein has ethical problems, Bush doesn't.

Bush has a huge trust fund he doesn't directly make "Iraq War Money" that doesn't mean he isn't connected to War contractors and we know Cheney is.

Also, there were Rebpulicans on that subcommittee that also approved those contracts. Republicans had weakened Ethics rules and are were involved in the same kind of stuff. And it was a Republican Congressman who was taking out and out bribes from defense contractors.

Answer 5

There is no direct link from either oil prices or haliburton to money in Bush's or Cheney's pockets.

Knowing people in the industry, and having worked in the industry in the past, doesn't put money in your pocket.

Being CEO and majority stockholder of a company that sells carbon certificates, and advocating the global warming scare, DOES put money in your pocket, just ask Al Gore.

Answer 6

I'm watching how slowly this is being reported. These Haliburton freaks will never get upset over this, because it was never about Haliburton, it was about slamming Cheney.

Answer 7

Well I dont wish ill will on anyone, but I just hope this will knock down the high and mighty moral dems from their high horse.

Answer 8

She was also doing bad things. I don't excuse bad behavior just because it is a person closer to what I believe. I'm glad she resigned.

Answer 9

I wonder why the Liberal Media doesn't have this plastered all over the screens.

Answer 10

Bush is not making it, but all his super rich buddys are getting richer every day that the war goes on !!
