All About Rep. Lee the Appeaser (http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/9/16/75429)
Rep. Barbara Lee has replaced Rep. Gary Condit as America's most despised California Democrat. Even the liberals on NPR Saturday night were clucking over Lee being the only member of Congress to vote against using force on terrorists.
Lee claimed she failed to support President Bush after relying on what she calls ``my moral compass, my conscience, and my God for direction.'' Wait until a terrorist bomb falls on that compass.
``There must be some of us who say, let's step back for a moment and think through the implications of our actions today - let us more fully understand its consequences,'' Lee said. ``Far too many innocent people have already died.'' Guess what, Babs: Terrororists are not "innocent."
How could she fail to stand with America in such an our of need? Simple: This former social worker, who has voted for years to weaken America by opposing military spending, represents the fanatically left-wing People's Republic of Berkeley.
``She thinks it's giving `the man' too much power, and it probably is,'' George Odom, an "incense salesman" near the University of California, told the Associated Press. ``But if that's what it takes, then we have to do it.''
Alameda County Republican Central Committee chairman Jim Hartman called Lee's vote one of "supreme poor judgment and gross egotism."
"She talks about her moral compass, but she should take a closer look at that compass because she's way, way off track," he told today's Oakland Tribune.
Even Oakland City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente was disappointed in Lee.
"I disagree with her," he said. "I understand the feeling of not wanting to give too much power to Bush. But I don't think you can compare this to Vietnam. Our country has been attacked and thousands of innocent people are dead. ... We must show our unity at this moment of crisis."
On her Web site, Lee says, "Please do not hesitate to contact any of my offices if we can be of assistance." So here's how to contact "the Honorable Barbara Lee":
