the amount of effort you are putting into stalking me. Just ask.
IMO, Feinstein is a DINO.
Not a fan of the First, Second, or Fourth Amendments and iffy on many other issues:
Voted YES on recommending Constitutional ban on flag desecration
Voted YES on loosening restrictions on cell phone wiretapping.
Rated 60% by the ACLU, indicating a mixed civil rights voting record.
Voted YES on limiting death penalty appeals.
Voted YES on declaring memorial prayers and religious symbols OK at schools
Voted NO on protecting middle-income taxpayers from a national energy tax
Voted YES on extending the PATRIOT Act's roving wiretaps
Voted YES on reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act.

Still I do not campaign against her and, were I in her district, I would vote for her over a Republican.
From TOS
Vote for Democrats.
Winning elections is important therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect. When we are not in the heat of election season, members are permitted to post strong criticism or disappointment with our Democratic elected officials, or to express ambivalence about voting for them. In Democratic primaries, members may support whomever they choose. But when general election season begins, DU members must support Democratic nominees (EXCEPT in rare cases where a non-Democrat is most likely to defeat the conservative alternative, or where there is no possibility of splitting the liberal vote and inadvertently throwing the election to the conservative alternative). For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side.
None of the statements I made were during the designated general election season.
When were you cheering Bloomberg?

What's odd is how someone believes having the right to self defense is a bad thing.

My "tradition" is using an 50+ yr old Schrade Walden ( maybe $3 new) for that chore.

You, sir, defend those who attack Democrats seeking reelection. Your own words demonstrate this

No hypocrisy- there is no call to defund Feinstein's reelection in there

Yeah, I did- because I knew Emken had no chance. What's your excuse for Begich?

So, far from apologizing, you choose to include others as "cowardly?" By name?

*All* gun control advocates that work against Dems should be trashed on a regular basis
