CLCV

The California League of Conservation Voters has once again proven itself to be the mouthpiece for Demcoratic Incumbents. A more appropriate name for this organization might be the Conservation League of Democratic Party.

Nothing underscores this more than the manner in which they have lauded Sen. Feinstein with her 100% score, as pointed out by Dan Bacher.  

Feinstein has taken a long list of environmental issue, dressed a solution to look like a bipartisan compromise, and watched it fail.  This includes the compromise that she negotiated on the Headlands Redwoods Forest which benefited family friend Charles Hurwitz and allowed him to defraud the people of California of $ Millions.  Now, we have her acting on behalf of another family friend, Stewart Resnick, who is also becoming rich at the expense of the tax payers of California, positioning himself and his Water Bank to cash in.

NOTE to self: Start a campaign to change State / Fed law so that anyone, or any corporation, securing subsidized water for agriculture must return any profits made on the sale to that water to the State or Federal Government. Taxpayers take the risk. Taxpayers should get the profits.

Feinstein can not even get the story straight.  She talks of job loss in the San Joaquin Valley, but the LA Times unmasks that fiction. In her latest releases, she tries to draw a parallel between the situation in CA and that in NM earlier in this decade century.  However, John Fleck, who lived those events in NM, points out that DiFi is re-writing history.  A Feinstein press release is beginning to read like the script to a Sean Hannity segment on Fox.  

One of the implications for Sen. Boxer is whether the Sr. Senator from CA is going to get enough environmental votes upset that it will carry over to Boxers 2010 campaign or will she have to separate herself from Feinstein.   I don’t think that even top scorecard from CLCV will be enough to rescue Feinstein’s reputation.
