Ever wonder how lowly paid lawmakers leave office filthy rich? Sen. Dianne Feinstein is showing how it’s done.

When it comes time to hang traitors, Feinstein is among the top 10 to hang from lampposts. Her millions will not protect her and her fascist mercenaries will not stand in the breech to die for the glory of Feinstein; they will run.

Feinstein is already a billionaire. How much more money can she have? What about all those poor people she claims to be helping?

Indeed. Both will screech like possessed demons as they’re hanged.

I seem to remember she was (or is) on the Appropriations Committee and her husband is a defense contractor.

No conflict of interest, of course. Nothing to see here. Move on....

Every day is a big payoff in congress; insider trading is OK for them, a serious felony for the rest of us.

Thank you. I’ve always been strong and self sufficient. I don’t like being in this position at all.

> .Surely you know that we are in a “recovery!”

I know the feeling, my business income is less than 1/3 of what it was when the Rats took over congress in ‘07.

And the newspapers are always talking about the booming economy.

Joe Wilson was right about all of it...
