Feinstein won't meet with constituants...

[petegz28]

Police were called on a group of retirees who refused to leave Sen. Dianne Feinstein's West Los Angeles office until she talked to them about health care reform.

Los Angeles police Sergeant Rich Brunson said Thursday that police lured the group of seven outside somehow, then locked the building's doors behind them.

Brunson had said earlier that eight people were being taken into custody, but corrected himself after getting new details from officers on the scene.

A spokeswoman for the 55- to 87-year-old activists said they arrived at Feinstein's office around noon and remained in her conference room more than six hours.

Feinstein spokesman Gil Duran says staff offered the retirees an in-person meeting with the senator during a Los Angeles visit next week but that they demanded to speak with her immediately.

They got offered an in-person meeting next week. Did they really expect that they could demand time with their Senator any time they want?

And why would they care about healthcare reform. They've got their own program.

Who works for who? That is the only quesiton I would ask.

[talastan]

I fully expect for representatives in both House and Senate to be "unavailable" for the next few weeks till they have to go back to Washington. No one wants to have to deal with the people the way that McCaskill, Feinstein, etc. have had to. All the more reason to vote out anyone who even thinks of voting yes without talking to their constituancy.

[KC native]

Oh Em Gee, more faux outrage from petey boy. They got promised a meeting and petey is pissed. BTW you misspelled the thread title. Apparently you refuse to meet with spell check. It's constituent and not constituant.

Isn't this kinda like Brian Waters demanding an immediate meeting with Pioli & Haley?

People have schedules and she did offer to meet with them.

JFC. I'm not a fan of hers, at all, but this is a ridiculous thread.

[blaise]

Yeah, I don't like her but what did they think would happen? Make an appointment.

So, you think that ANY citizen should be able to go to a Senator's office, unannounced, and have an immediate meeting with that person?

You're out of your fucking mind.

And dumb.

[wild1]

You can't just walk in and demand a Senator's time the same day, that's silly.

Gerenally speaking, no. In this case, if she were there she should have come out.

And I see you continue to do nothing but make idiotic assumptions.
Do you ever have a post where you don't put words in someone's mouth then opine on it?

You should have left it at your first question ...the rest is just your typical bullshit.

Now, proceed with your standard, multiple retorts consisting of nothing but name calling and other irrelevant bullshit.

Pete, you're already so low in my book that you couldn't possibly get any lower.

You've been the 'Planet's biggest bitch since you joined.

Whether it's Royals, cost of ticket prices, the Chiefs, their coaches or the Democrats, you NEVER have any insight on ANY topic.

Just endless bitching.

Good luck with that.

Oh, you're such a fucking idiot.

You know, in each and every thread you start, you pull this shit.

You're called out for your fucking moronic position, in this case, that Senator Feinstein, regardless of her schedule, should have met with 7 people immediately.

And because you've taken (and always take) such a moronic position, your threads turn into complete and utter nonsense.

Face it, Pete: You're a dumbfuck.

Where did I say "immediately"? There you go again having to put words in someone's mouth. I said if she was there she should have met with them. They waited 6 hours. Did I say she should drop what she was doing then and there? No. Could she have made it a point to meet with them at some point during the day? Yes. See, these are things you should seek to understand before running your trap. That being said, you angry, dumb****, I said generaly speaking Senators should not meet with people just because they show up in their office. But you had to ignore that, pretend I said something I didn't and then go on your inferiority based rampage.

Face it Dane, all you can do is assume, opine on your assumption, then get pissed like a little sissy-ass bitch when someone points out you made an assumption or points out how stupid your Brian Waters analogy was since he was not the boss.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone as angry as you are. You have some real mental issues, guy. I would seek help if I were you before you do something in your life you really regret cause of your anger issues.

Maybe a few more mother ****ers and dumb****s in all CAPS will get you your maturity rush for the day?

I have yet to see you make a legitimate argument, unless you include your incessant badgering of those who are not Marxists.

I would have too up until a few weeks ago. All I know is one night we were having a awesome discussion in the Media Center forum about rock guitarists (as you can see from this thread... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=206128&page=6 )and the next thing I know he is coming at me with all sorts of belligerent attacks and comments. Quite the 180 I must say. Oh well, I guess.

[jAZ]

Who works for who? That is the only quesiton I would ask.

She works for the other 36,756,611 people too.

Well no because Waters works for Pioli, not the other way around. If she was there she should have met with them.

And you're the biggest shill there is for the Left. You of all people would be the first to bitch of this were a Repub. I'd lay money on it.

Well, Dane, I will do us both a favor and just put you ignore. You have some real anger issues. Your superiror skill at casting mindless insults is just old anymore. Like I said, one week we had a good convo about rock guitar and the next you are a complete and total belligerent person. I guess when one agrees with you then you are cool but the minute you think someone is wrong well.....keep cursing and calling names...maybe there is a future for you at amateur night in your local comedy club.

[Mojo Jojo]

Here is where the Senator and her staff screwed up. Yes...the old people had no appointment, but they were willing to sit in a conference room 6 hours. How hard would it be for the Senator to take 10-minutes go into the conference room with her schedule person, and then greet each of the people thank them for stopping by. At this point she would say I'm very busy today, but I would like to sit down and talk with you about this. I'm back in LA on (whenever) here is my scheduling person. Thank you again. She wouldn't have the negative PR she has now. Even the ultra-libs at DU and Kos are calling her out on this.

Heck most offices even have a photo person standing by. It would have made for a great photo op. The Senator looks like she cares. Instead she looks like she is hiding and has no time for voters.

Small gestures go along way, and the Senator and her staff need to learn it.

[kcfanXIII]

this shit is nothing new unfortunately. just look at how our fine governer jay nixon handles his employers.

OH EM GEE!!!

You're spot on....a 5-10 minute appearance doing exactly what you said would have made everything better. And no, she should not be expected to drop what she is doing every time someone shows up at her door. But as you said, a few gracious minutes out of her day would have gone a long, long way.

Feinstein apparently wasn't at the office. The seniors wanted them to set up a conference call; they couldn't or wouldn't arrange one, offered a face-to-face meeting instead, but that wasn't good enough.

Sounds like somebody wanted to get in the news.

As I have stated and will continue to state, if she was there she should have taken 10 minutes. If she wasn't there then the people should have gotten over it and moved on.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Then I guess the question is: Was she there? And if she was not there, why the 6 hour sit in?

I guess if you have that much time to kill.... If I'm 77, I'll show up to protest, but if the Senator isn't there, I'm heading to the golf course.
