Referring to the California Secretary of State website,
http://vote98.ss.ca.gov/Final/sov/SOV25-27.pdf
we can view Barbara Boxer's county totals for a total statewide vote of only 53% or 4.4 million votes. This is clearly a vulnerable candidate. When you complain about Dianne Feinstein's record, you are, at the same time, complaining about Barbara Boxer's record, because they are THE SAME. They are both Democrats, staunch supporters of the Zionist government of Israel, against the interests of the workingclass, both Jewish and Arab, and their votes are the same on all major issues, and just about everything else. Feinstein might get the press, but Boxer plays the same tune. Some noteworthy counties where a pro-Palestinian candidate should do well, keeping in mind that all we can do at this point is retire these old war horses, until we have a serious labor movement to actually get progressive candidates elected:
1998 US Senate Race Against Incumbent Barbara Boxer:
Alameda: 69% or 266,329 votes
Los Angeles 60% or 1.2 million votes
San Francisco 75% or 179,889 votes
Santa Cruz 62% or 53,363 votes
To the entire pro-Palestinian community of California: The above record must not occur again. Whether you vote for Dianne Feinstein or Barbara Boxer, you get exactly the same pro-Israel vote. Either vote for the pro-Palestinian candidates that run against them or skip the US Senate position. The same is true for all other positions.
Pass the bong, doooooooooooooooooooooood!
