Don't look for the story in the MSM. You won't find it. Read here about Feinstein's big push for Ethics, Lobbying and Election reform prior to her resignation:
.: United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, California :: Issue Statements :.

And the here: Why she resigned: News & Culture in CA | Dianne Feinstein resigns

Why the MSM coverup?

Damn you, I was all excited that Feinstein had resigned from the senate. Oh well, at least she's not my senator anymore. Not that Kerry and Kennedy are a whole lot better...

and, it this thread was titled accurately:
"Dianne Feinstein resigns from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee"

Perhaps it's being "covered up" because it's not a big enough item to make it onto the radars of other news outlets.

That's a convenient way for you to "rebut" me; make an assumption that I am looking for a way to defend her, while once again diverting attention away from the fact that you're nothing but a sensationalist, and as one sided as they come. You post a totally misleading thread title, then you attack the people who point it out. As others have already pointed out, you are indeed all the annoyance of marden, with none of the substance. You have no credibility, and, for whatever reason, you seem to be hell bent on making it worse than zero.

What would you like me to say? That if irregularities are found, she should be investigated and punished if guilty? There, I said it, and that's what I believe. I don't care for her anyway. Shes' pro gun control, and she supports a flag burning amendment, which shows me she doesn't understand free speech or citizens' rights. But, since you're nothing but a blind partisan hack, you just posted this because she's a Democrat, and that's because you don't understand that everything isn't so black and white as you think it is. It must suck to be so narrow minded. You keep proving my point, which is that you're an angry little man, who has no objectivity, and who keeps stabbing at the air, hoping someday to wound someone.

Thank you. Maybe you could now write letter to your congressman seeking censure or impeachment. I have.

Gibraltar. This is not about some imaginary union of Gibraltar and Malta, although that may have already occurred in your bizzarro world.

The British did indeed remove the Spanish people who lived in Gibraltar against their will when they invaded and took over. This is documented history and fact. In the real world.

There may be some medication for insanity, but I have bad news for you. There is no known cure for stupidity. You'll just have to live with it.

I never claimed I was a genius, but I'm not a rabid Democrat-hating Conservative circle-jerking mindless drone like you.

Now quick! Somewhere, someone is posting an article trashing Democrats and you're not reading it and then posting it here.

Go now! the fate of the Republican party rests in your hands.

Gee, and I thought we were going to have a nice discussion on ethics when I started this thread. I shouldn't have expected more here than ad hominem attacks. I know how big the three of you are on ethics especially KarlG. Here's a word from the Chairman of the Ethics Committee, US Senate. .: United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, California :: Issue Statements :.

Keep twisting and spinning, don't you? It's been pointed out to you before, and not just by me, that you do nothing but post misleading and sensationalistic threads, and you did the exact same thing here. You start every thread with your blatant biases and you call people names, like simpleton, yet you expect us to believe that you're interested in having a "nice discussion," while your actions speak completely contradictorially. You're a rabid Democrat hater, and you're about as interested in having a "nice discussion" as the pope is in converting to Judaism.

Never used the word simpleton, and I haven't been name calling, so you slander. I would review several of your last posts here and in other threads before you make a further fool of yourself. I will agree on one point> The link to Diane Feinsteins Senate Web Page, Where she talks about her Chairmanship of the Ethics Commitee? It is misleading and sensationalistic. By the way, when did you become a citizen of Spain?

Edit: KarlG I thought I was responding to Sven, the Spaniard. So ignor my remark about becoming a citizen of Spain. Sven has been a little rough in his last posts so ignor that reference too!

Hopefully, typoon will drop by and let us know. Or maybe Crash will come by to call Feinstein names. Gotta love this forum.

BUSTED!

Your memory isn't so good, but that's not surprising. http://forums.macnn.com/95/political...xico-to-u-s/2/

"Listen you whimpering simpleton, I have limited time on my hands to counter the BS you defend and or tender as fact. Anyone, even you could see the footnotes. I should have given an attribution if not only in deference to your abjectivity but perhaps offering a token to your enlightenment. You gotta do better than this. Pathetic. Not that Wikipedia is peer reviewed and not open to challenges or the fact the critique of Mexico was taken from a State Department document (without attribution), which I'm sure is equally suspect despite being run by Liberal Careerists. Don't forget to take your med's. Depression kills."

----------------------------------------------------

You got caught cutting and pasting without attributing it to the proper sources, which makes it look like your own thoughts; that's ethically and intellectually dishonest, period, so you had to resort to name calling and ad hominem attacks (which you've called others out on, but apparently conclude it's okay for you to engage in) to "defend" your indefensible position. It's typical of you.

The other point you apparently won't acknowledge is that it is you who posted the sensationalistic and misleading thread title. Senator Feinstein did not resign from the Senate, as is clearly the implication of your thread title. That's what is misleading and also intellectually dishonest. A number of people read the thread title, thinking that Sen. Feinstein had resigned from the Senate, which was not the case, yet your reply to me, part of which I've highlighted above, once again shows how you attempt to twist the issue by passing blame on to Senator Feinstein's web site! Do you clearly not see what's happening here, or are you purposely denying what you're doing? You've also posted several other threads with sensationalistic titles, such as the one about Obama, the Magic Negro, and the thread about the church he belongs to allegedly being racist, complete with all your usual blathering about nothing.

You, sir, have no shame, and are nothing but a opportunist who thinks he can "win" an argument by engaging in name calling, dishonesty, and ourtight fraud, and hypocrisy. You also might do well to take your own advice and get some depression medication, as your anger and obvious depression could indeed kill you. I don't use the stuff, but I do appreciate your concern.

Hey tie,

You should come over to my forum. We are a revolution in the making. I challenge you to help shape the path that we shall all walk upon as we boldly head into this new age...

You guys are welcome too, we have marden there now!

No name calling, just calling out! And what about Feinstein and her Ethics Committee Chairmanship? Just waiting for a chance to for another Feinstein Resigns thread. I quote Feinstein: "The gross misconduct and influence peddling that surfaced in such a serious way in the 109th Congress must be addressed. It’s critical that we close the revolving door, toughen public disclosure of lobbyist activity, ban lobbyist gift and travel, and shut down “pay-to-play” schemes."
Time for her to resign. Again.

It isn't about hurting my feelings, as you didn't; it's about denying responsibility for your actions, which you have great difficulty in doing. And what about you admitting that you posted a thread title that was meant to be sensational, and misleading? Everytime someone points something out to you, you keep glossing over points you don't want to admit you are wrong on. It's like you pretend that nothing exists but what you want to post. Besides, nothing you've posted yet changes the clear impression that you post here only to show your hatred of Democrats and that your hatred precludes any objectivity on your part.
