Feinstein vs. Cruz

In an exchange that has gone big mostly for political dorks, Senator Feinstein took exception to Senator Cruz saying that if you don't agree with him on guns, you're wrong. She alluded to how she was a firsthand witness to the murders of Harvey Milk and SF Mayor George Moscone, to the point of giving CPR to the mayor.

Alas, Ms. Feinstein mostly concentrated on his condescending tone, and only briefly addressed how Cruz's version of the Constitution is unworkably extreme. The result was a Rorschach moment where both sides are declaring victory.

Freepers, as they do in these times, eagerly try to "help."

ripley kinds sums up the GOP view:

Thanks to Senator Cruz’ steadfastness and strength of belief in the Constitution, he sent the brilliant, intellectual and really-really smart “Senator” from California to the stinking sewer of the Progressive playbook for a non-answer to his question.

NFHale loves how she got angry:

She looks like she’s in full “stroke and choke” mode in that picture...

Or is it “wank and Frank?” I dunno....

Timber Rattler knows what to say about liberal women:

Feinstein’s looking more and more like an old hag.

GraceG is pretty catty too:

Feinstein: Senator, I am not a sixth grader....

What a pretentious bitch!!!

liberalh8ter:

That monotone, uppity dishrag should be dragged from chambers by her ear and thrown to the very people whose rights she thinks so little of violating.

Uppity?...Dishrag?

isthisnickcool's biology seems to hail from the Victorian era:

I got some blow back on this the last time I wrote about my theory but it seems to hold true. The theory is that some of these women in positions of power have two issues. One, they have leftist leanings and two, they have had their plumbing dry up. The theory is that the latter makes the former worse. IE: Once they can no longer have any real pleasure to speak of they replace that with the pleasure they get from being NAZIS trying to rule others.

This, of course, is not s problem with conservative women because once they get along later in life they get better with age.

longtermmemmory continues the long Freeper tradition of calling all liberals drunks:

Perhaps Feinstein is so tired because of a drinnking problem?

Drinking can cause blackout periods.

After twenty years is the job too much for her?

too tiring?

Misspelling 'drinking' in 'drinking problem' should generally be avoided.

MHGinTN thinks Feinstein was born while killing someone, I think:

She is a dead soul ... and that center of deadness shows through. She serves the father of lies a murderer from the start. She is also one of the gloablists oligarch’s through the Bilderberg Group.

Azeem:

Feinstein has a serious mental disorder.

Gator113 is classy!

Feinstein could always fall in a shower.... there is hope.

freekitty knows only Freepers aren't shredding the Constitution. Also Feinstein is a secret traitor only he knows about:

I have never seen such a silly bunch of Senators; except for Senator Cruz. They are Don Quixotes fighting windmills. We all know hey are for shredding the Constitution except Cruz.

As for Feinstein, we all know she has been enabling her husband to do business with the Chinese for years probably illegally done by hiding how she has done it. She cares nothing about America nor it’s laws or Constitution and is the perfect example of you can’t do business with a con or crook.

She should be in jail along with her husband. All you voters that voted for her note she is living really high off the hog while you aren’t, not by doing things honestly; but by crooked scheming.

Sen. Durban argues that no right is absolute, and gives the example of the child porn exception to the First Amendment. MrB's massively ironic solution is a theocracy.

If you have no ultimate basis for truth, there is no valid way to say that child porn is bad and gun ownership is good.

The only way to be able to say that is to have an ultimate objective reference.

With a Biblical worldview, it’s really clear and easy to show where child porn is evil and personal defense is righteous.

Cletus.D.Yokel knows the Founders, and knows they were totally badass:

Durbin: “None of these rights are absolute.”

Thomas Jefferson would put a nasty ass-whuppin on this idiot. John Adams would look on in approval and not intervene.

AlanGreenSpam gives some awesome political advice:

Cruz should have replied:

1) “[Byotch], this question wasn’t intended to provoke an angry response and a long diatribe about how long you’ve been here as if that qualifies you more than anyone else. Rather, it was a philosophical question to help give perspective to the gun control question when compared to other rights.”

2) “I’m sorry my asking a purely philosophical Constitutional question made you feel like a 6th grader.

Now please will you address my question, Senator WineStein?”
