Cindy Sheehan Watch: California Senator Boxer Urges Sheehan NOT to Challenge Senator Dianne Feinstein

Cindy Sheehan says taking on Sen. Dianne Feinstein would energize anti-war candidates.

San Francisco Chronicle: Boxer doesn’t like the idea of Sheehan challenging Feinstein

California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer on Tuesday urged anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan not to challenge the state’s senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, in the June Democratic primary.

Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, has been actively considering a campaign after criticizing Feinstein for refusing to call for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

But Boxer, a liberal former Marin County supervisor who strongly opposed the war in Iraq, said Sheehan might actually hurt her anti-war cause by jumping into the race against Feinstein, who is entering her 14th year in the Senate.

“I don’t think having (Sheehan) in the Senate election helps her at all,” Boxer told a roundtable of California reporters on Tuesday. “I think it might have the opposite effect.”

Flap thinks Cindy should run. The issues espoused by the radical left of the California Democrat Party have been given patronizing treatment by both California Senators.

Where does the California Senator, Dianne Feinstein stand on the Iraq War?

Feinstein voted for the 2002 resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq if the country refused to comply with United Nations’ weapons inspectors, while Boxer was one of 23 senators who voted against it.

But Boxer defended her Senate colleague on Tuesday, saying Feinstein has been a critic of the administration’s war policies and favors withdrawing troops as soon as possible.

“Sen. Feinstein and I are very involved in trying to figure out a way to get the troops back,” she said.

More Boxer BS.

Senator, when you find out how to bring the troops home with a peaceful, democratic Iraq would you let your constituents in California know.

Ridiculous……..
