Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s public approval rating remains positive, but enthusiasm for re-electing her is far less than in previous years, according to a Field Poll released today.

    I sent both Senators Feinstein and Boxer an email comment when we attacked Libya. Senator Boxer’s office sent me a reply with her position within a few days. Senator Feinstein’s office sent me the “same canned repsonse” only the other day.
    At least they should have come up with their own responses not sent a pre-written one which it looked like many senators used.

    They only speak words of wisdom when they want be re-elected and then right afterwords they are gone on trips to secret ville with Chimp& Dales in hot pursuit of a fast TIME AND PLEASURE.
    I think gravity caught up with both Boxer and Dianne body persuasion method’s.
