Should we get Warren Beatty or Martin Sheen to challenge Diane Fienstein?

[Melodybe]

I'd go with Sheen, for the Senate but either would kick ass.

Which do you like?

[The Sushi Bandit]

1. WTF is your issue with DF???

[lvx35]

5. This is regarding the CAFTA vote.

[wli]

6. voted for CAFTA, PATRIOT, etc.

Time to call for immediate resignation, really.

[Melodybe]

7. She not a democrat, and the only reason she is still around is cause

repukes keep threatening to overturn Roe v Wade.

She also pushed for Diebold in CA, she has ties to Enron, her husband does business with Lockheed Martin. She votes with repugs on every trade bill you could imagine, she is a rich bitch who continually fucks over the American people and the people that put her in office.

I hate her, for the hundreds of thousands of people that now have no retirement thanks to Enron. People that worked their entire lives, now have nothing. My heart goes out to them and I blame Diane for not evening thinking twice before she cozied up to Enron and fucked them all over.

Screw her and her war voting, big oil voting, Patriot Act voting ass.

Does that answer your question?

But the anger in this thread is aimed at Dino Fienstein, not you.

Peace.
:)

27. Being a constituent of hers is a real bitch!

"Judas" Feinstein is all about Feinstein. Period. She has been a burden to the party, IMO. I don't believe that her active participation in all of this madness should bear no consequence. Actions have consequences. I will never vote for her again. Ever.

Peace.

[EFerrari]

35. What you said, only double!

:rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

15. As a resident of California, where do you want me to begin?

We can do a LOT better.

[fooj]

2. Either one. Then the other can get Arnold the hell out of office.

Peace.

[deadparrot]

3. I would die of happiness if Sheen won.

Hell, I'd be happy with any liberal.

But "Jed Bartlet" as a real-life US senator? Too cool for words. B-)

[Wetzelbill]

8. that would be really cool

[lvx35]

4. I think Sheen is the better of the two.

So maybe he should be saved...

[Wetzelbill]

9. Sheen is one of the awesomest people ever

FrankenFeinstein wouldn't know good policy if it cracked her over the head.

[Melodybe]

12. Sheen was also a Dean democrat, I'll never forget that he and Meathead

campaigned for Dean.

I love Sheen and think that he would be a great Senator.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

10. you also have : barbara lee, jerry brown, gavin newsome, maxine waters

antonio villaraigosa, kathleen brown, michela alioto, cruz bustamante, and any number of others who would be a better choice than feinstein

[Journeyman]

11. I suspect come 2006 the people of California. . .

are going to have had their fill of actors in political roles.

[Melodybe]

21. I know stupid Arnold had to go and ruin it for all the decent folks in

Hollywood that would actually make good leaders.

[Journeyman]

31. Historically, most Hollywood people who've entered politics. . .

have done so as a conservative: Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, Sonny Bono, Fred Thompson. Very few have been successful on the Democratic ticket, and in fact, most Democratic actors who have run recently have lost decisively.

There's an interesting discussion of this, along with some convincing rationale for why Democratic actors have such a hard time winning, at this website:

[sojourner]

30. I had a bit of the same thought....

nothing against either of the names put forward, mind you. But as noted above -- we have a shitload of well-placed and very well qualified people who could do the job.

[Guaranteed]

13. Yes. Please. nt

[maveric]

14. Juan Vargas. Ask San Diego DUers.

The guy is the real deal. He's a CA state rep now.

[wookie294]

16. How about Jerry Brown?

Is Jerry a bad choice? I like him. Where the hell is he?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

18. planning a run for AG, according to his website

email him and redirect his efforts where he's really needed

[e-mail]

[Wetzelbill]

20. he's a mayor of some city right now. I can't remember off hand

I like Jerry too.

[carnie_sf]

22. Oakland

[Wetzelbill]

25. thank you

I was looking and you found it before I could. Way to go. :)

[Hardrada]

17. How old IS Feinstein?

Shouldn't she be in a care center in a fairly short time?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. 72

just checked wikipedia earlier

[Wetzelbill]

26. really? I didn't think she was that old

[fujiyama]

28. Good idea

I'm pretty sure her and her war profiteering husband should be able to retire off the money they've made over this war (plus I'm sure the tax cuts she voted for helps).

[carnie_sf]

23. As long

as it's not Willie Brown

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Please. Enough with the Hollywood crap.

Bill Hicks is sadly dead, and there isn't any other "celebrity" I would vote for...

(Hmmm. Okay, Maybe Chris Rock)

I agree that DiFi has gone WAY too Republican-lite lately..

But we have plenty of skilled Democrats in this state that aren't movie stars.

[fooj]

29. I wish Leon Panetta would blow her out of there.

Smart Man. Got the hell out of DC just before all hell broke loose.

Peace.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Yeah, I could deal with him.

Fo' Sho'.

[fooj]

32. I read somewhere that Cindy Sheehan was a possibility.

I'm not sure what blog I was at, though. Just vaguely remember reading it...

Not a bad idea.

Peace.:patriot:

[EFerrari]

34. There's a poll in the CA forum:
