California Scum

As everyone in the country is aware, California economy is so far gone that the state, which not too long ago was the 5th economic power in the world, now has to settle for junk bonds.
The number one reason for the downfall of this once glorious and thriving state can be found in its political leadership of the last couple decades and in the apathy that took over Californians.
Yes, that is correct. I place a lot of the blame for the ruination of this state in the people that live here, made their fortune here and cannot be bothered with any kind of participation in the political events of the state. Case in point is the so-called political leadership we have, both at the state and at the federal level.
I am not going to waste any time addressing local disasters, like the Los Angeles mayor Villaraigosa or Gray Davis and even Arnold, but here in the Golden State we are really proud of the representatives we have in Washington, starting with our two illustrious Senators.
About Barbara Boxer, there is not much that needs to be said, except that in my opinion there has never been a politician in the Senate of the United States that has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt his or her incompetence, stupidity and single minded ineptitude as the junior Senator from California.

As much as Boxer is a true disgrace for our state, the senior Senator, Dianne Feinstein has her down for the count.
To begin with, our wonderful senator was the one who, at the beginning of February 2009, during a Senate hearing, openly declared that United States Air Force and CIA unmanned drones were flying missions against Taliban terrorists from bases in Pakistan. It was a clear exposure of potential classified operational procedures that energized the Islamic Fascists in that country against their own government. But nothing was done to the good senator, and the Media buried the story and it went away. Today we have another story that the MSM will certainly spin and hide and those Americans who get their news from the local news will never hear about.

So it appears that Sen. Feinstein took the initiative to route $25 billions to an agency, the FDIC, which usually receives funding from other sources other that taxpayers appropriations. The curious fact is that Feinstein has no connections with the Senate Banking Committee, which is in charge of appropriations for the FDIC, and yet she was able to swindle the money to the agency.
The part that is even more captivating is that just few days prior to the good senator pushing the expenditure through, the firm of which her good husband, Richard Blum, is the chairman of the board, had been awarded a huge contract from the FDIC. Coincidence? Yeah right!
What is the money for, you may ask. It appears that Mr. Blum’s company, CB Richard Ellis, received a contract from the FDIC to handle home foreclosures at a higher percentage of profit that other companies who bid on the contract quoted. Basically, CB Richard Ellis got a contract that is going to pay 8% commission on property sales and up to 30% for properties sold at a price of $25,000 or less. The competing bids, the Washington Times reports, came from companies with many more years of experience in the handling of foreclosure properties and it is known that the majority of real estate commissions are no more that 6%.
So, to recap for you, here is the deal one of the members of the most ethical Congress ever, was able to secure for her sweet husband: $25 billions taxpayers’ money appropriated wrongly to a company whose bidding was higher than the others and has less experience in the industry. And all was achieved by Sen. Feinstein involvement in a committee she had no business mingling with. Her excuse? She stated that neither she nor her husband knew that CB Richard Ellis was bidding on the FDIC contract, which would make her husband a total idiot, because as Chairman of his company he should be well aware of a bidding of such magnitude on a contract for a huge slice of a booming business. And my money is on the fact that Richard Blum is NOT that stupid.

These are the facts, now here are my thoughts. The financial wheeling and dealing is bad enough for me to want to tar and feather the woman and her mate. For the scum in Congress, 25 billion dollars may not be more than a drop in the bucket, but when such money is taken from the hard working people of America, it becomes a significant sum. Of course compared to the trillions Obama is spending, it is almost laughable. The part that really burns me, though, is how the woman is abusing her power in order to achieve financial gain on the misfortunes, in many cases, of people that lost their homes because of their job losses. In my opinion a vermin is a higher form of life than this pair of upstanding Californians.
But I know that Sen. Dianne Feinstein will probably win re-election when the time comes, because Californians are just too busy watching reality shows, hunt for celebrities and catering to illegal aliens to really take the time to be informed when they go to vote, and also because the Republican Party in California is dead and buried. The so called leadership of the California Republican Party is missing in action and has been for years. I find it just not credible that no viable contender has been able to be introduced to challenge dumb ass Boxer and quick-hand Feinstein. I can understand Pelosi, as she comes from a district whose coordinates should be given to Kim Jon Il, but it is hard for me to understand the whole state being so stupid not to hand over a nice pink slip to this criminals. I cannot remember ever meeting anyone who has voted for her or Boxer, but these cretins must be out there and I would really like to hear what their justifications are for such a choice.
Basically we get what we deserve, as Obama is bowing proof of.

And these are my thoughts!
