DiFi blows away GOP Senate rivals with fundraising
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 4/17/12 | Joe Garofoli, Chronicle Political Writer

Last fall, we pointed out that the California Republican Party was running a bit late in not being able to field — with all due respect — a “name” candidate to take on incumbent Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. And now, we see one of the effects of that. DiFi is lapping the GOP field in the latest fundraising disclosures.

. . . DiFi is outraising the entire Republican field by about a gazillion to one in the latest fundraising totals. That includes includes her closest GOP rival — Danville autism activist Elizabeth Emken, who was endorsed by the CA GOP.

DiFi has raised $11.4 million so far, including $5 million she loaned herself to cover up for what disappeared from her treasury after the Kindee Durkee scandal.

The vote counters are not going to let DiFi be deposed, so all this ‘fundraiing’ will end up used to prop up some of the less well connected for sale senators witrh a “D”. The level of corruption in the crimnal enterprise party is beyond astonishing, it’s nauseating.

California liberals contribute to and elect liberals.

Meanwhile their state is collapsing around them and people and businesses are leaving in droves.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Trouble is, the fiddle has been repossessed.

Why O why are Californicators too fornicating stupid to ever ask how MR Feinstein makes his money ... or why the Feinsteins are now worth 100s of Millions more now then when the silly woman entered politics?

O yeah, same question for the Boxer family. MR Pelosi and the Botox Bimbo, ditto. Harry Reid, ditto.

A 50 mile wide strip of the west coast is overrun with liberal eastern transplants, ex-hippies and pot smokers from Seattle to San Diego.
