By their fruits you shall know them. The love of money is the root of all evil.

Lazio was truly the only "man (person) of the people".
Lazio received far MORE individual donations (most of them small donations) from the citizens of America than any other non-presidential candidate in our history.

--"fund raising" equals "extortion" and should be called such. "Donate to me or the executive and legislative branches of government will be arrayed against you, or conversely, for you--"

Good catch!
Knowing this, should help someone trying to answer the question, "What was the payback?".
That is a lot of money given for just good will!

The stench of Davis is gagging even the liberal SF Chomical.

"The stench of Davis is gagging even the liberal SF Chomical." Naw. They just ran this article so that they can claim that Davis is "really" just a corporate shill and not a true Leftist.
Notice how they claim that his politics are "middle of the road" even though Davis is 100% pro-choice...

Thanks for a great find.
These are the donations that are so called "legit".
Wouldn't you like to see the transparent donations to Herr Davis?
To: Pokey78
Interesting that Perenchio gave so much to Davis, considering the Coastal Commission's recent definition of virtually all Malibu as "environmentally sensitive habitat". The upshot is that virtually all development in Malibu is theoretically prohibited. Perenchio wants to build a massive development in the civic center that I believe most citizens oppose. Davis appoints the Coastal Commissioners.
I went to a community meeting of Malibu residents that protested the Coastal Commission's actions. Needless to say, A Jerrold Perenchio did not attend. The people who showed up feeling powerless were extremely lucky middle class people who had lived in Malibu for years, since when you could buy on Cliffside Drive for $70,000. I doubt most of them thought of themselves as rich, even though they are. (A house on Cliffside Drive now goes for a cut rate $2,500,000 or more; not half bad, really).
That aside, the Coastal Commission is an exceptionally cruel government agency. So much so that the citizens of Malibu may well wind up voting against Davis even though most of them are normally democrats.

Amazing how dimbulb can amass contributions, but is close to bankrupting the state he governs.

Good to see your ping, gramps. FR was not the same without you.

BUNCH of CROOKS The 'DOOFUS' current terminology for some of his campaign contributors. When someone accepts property from 'crooks', what does that make them?
