Feinstein’s Funds

Feinstein represents a lot that’s wrong with politics in America today. She and her millionaire husband stonewalled repeated attempts to get to the bottom of huge donations she received during her 1990 race for governor.

You quoted a political consultant as saying “ . . . mishandling $8 million is not good.” I think that misses the point that there is just too much money being spent by the privileged class who are getting elected time and again. Then when they’re caught they blame it on special interests or opponents. Bull!

Feinstein pulled a fast one and got caught. Some may feel we need more women in the Senate and will gender their vote. How sad. I hope representative democracy hasn’t come to this.
