It has been a while, too long, since I posted at Townhall, hopefully it was worth the wait.

It didn’t take long for the Dems to get caught in a scandal and do what the voters in 2006 feared if the they became the majority of the 110th Congress - members of the "Moon Bat" community …

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) seems to be able point fingers, like other members of her political elite of Sociocrats, at political opponents and at the same time get caught in a congressional ethics concern – and as usual without any repercussions other than stepping down from her position in a committee:

CNSNews, Fred Lucas:

Government watchdog groups want more answers as to why Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) stepped down from a military appropriations subcommittee at a time questions were being asked billions of dollars in federal defense contracts going to her husband’s companies.[1] Feinstein resigned her post as chairwoman of the Senate Subcommittee on Military Construction Appropriations last week. The decision came less than two months after Metro Newspapers, a group of alternative weekly papers in northern California, detailed the number of defense contracts awarded to Perini Corp. and URS Corp., both of which her husband, Richard C. Blum, has ownership, according to the newspapers. The investigation was partially funded by the Investigative Fund of The Nation Institute, a non-profit organization affiliated with the liberal magazine The Nation.[2]
”This was a critique from the left,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest group, told Cybercast News Service. “These were left-leaning papers. The fact that she stepped down from the committee lends credibility to the charges.”
… The California weeklies detailed examples that included a subcommittee hearing in which Feinstein asked Pentagon officials about increasing anti-terrorism protection for Army bases. The next year, in March 2003, Feinstein asked why the funds for anti-terror protection had not been spent. Just a month later, URS announced a $600 million contract to provide services for U.S. Army bases that included anti-terrorism force protection. In another instance, Feinstein asked another military official when money would be spent on a maintenance facility for the C-17 Hickham Air Base in Hawaii. URS later announced a $42 million contract to build it. Also, Feinstein’s subcommittee in mid-2005 approved funds to reinforce roofs at military stations in Iraq, and in October of that year, Perini got a $185 million federal contract for that purpose, the papers reported.
The matter should be probed further, said Kenneth Boehm, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative government watchdog group. However, he isn’t that confident in the Senate’s ability to police itself.[3] … “Congress needs an independent watchdog. The ethics committees are partisan. They have an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, but the reality is that things don’t get looked at that should get looked at.”
Meanwhile, Melanie Sloan, executive director of the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington, reportedly said the Feinstein matter could eclipse other congressional scandals.
… “You would think that, considering all the money Feinstein’s family has pocketed by waging global warfare while ignoring the plight of wounded American soldiers, she would show a smidgen of shame and resign from the entire Senate. Not just a subcommittee,” Bryne wrote.[4]

Voters in California who have continued to retain such a person representing that state and voting upon issues that concern all American while in Congress – should be ashamed. Just as I am ashamed of voting for President Bush, despite the fact that the choice between Senator John Kerry being president and Bush #2, as a pick of the best of the worst. The key element in the voting procedure is to get the right candidate for the final vote for presidency – which means more people need to quit abstaining from voting in the primaries and leaving their vote for the final election. In addition, it should be allowed to vote in primaries concerning any political entity, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or whatever – anyone should vote in the primaries of any political candidate. This would help to ensure that quality candidates reach the point of the final vote for presidency. In the case of voting for congressional members, Americans must quit voting strictly by the election rhetoric from the candidate and look objectively at their past voting record and periods in public office. What is said is not as important as what they do. Again, President Bush is a prime example. He has disassociated from members of his own party, and insulted and ignored the people who put him in office. But, why should he care? After FDR, Congress passed an amendment that doesn’t allow a president to serve more than two consecutive[5] terms. This can be a good thing, but we also see a bad thing. President George W. Bush will get his presidential library. In that library his legacy, in his eyes, will be established. But his legacy is only positive when looking at the basic fundamentals of his foreign policy, with his domestic policies being a record of shame, as well as turning his back upon the political platform from which he did not adhere to. Yet, if asked the question” “Which is a better president, William J. Clinton or George W. Bush?” – the answer would, for me, be a no-brainer – President George W. Bush – and not just because of the Lewinsky scandal, as some may surmise.

And, for those of you who are contemplating replacing GW Bush with Hillary Clinton, remember that her scandals amount to almost as much and a part of the William Clinton scandals. She has changed her political rhetoric during the course of her tenure as Senator of the US Congress, not because she has changed her views, but wants to encourage more voters. Her recent action, at least by those who represent her in her campaign efforts to be noted and voted for a possible presidential candidate involving a fellow sociocrat, Barack Obama (D-IL) is a prime example that she has not changed her vicious means of obtaining votes for her continued zeal in involving herself in the affairs of the US government and her personal ideology of American socialism.

Moral of the story: Voters who complain about the actions or inaction of those they voted for should look upon themselves to be a more responsible voter and quit being loyal to political parties that are nothing but a “good fellow club”.
