Kinde Durkee 'Nearly Wiped Out' Loretta Sanchez's Campaign Fund

[mfcorey1]

Veteran California campaign treasurer Kinde Durkee "nearly wiped out" the $379,000 in Rep. Loretta Sanchez's campaign war chest, Politico's Jonathan Allen and John Bresnahan report.

"What we've learned this week is that unfortunately, the amount in our reelect account is substantially less than the amount we've raised this year, as well as the amount reflected in the records sent to us by Durkee & Associates," Sanchez chief of staff Adrienne Elrod told Politico. "In fact, our account has been nearly wiped out."

Durkee was arrested by the FBI on Friday on mail fraud charges. The feds said she used campaign funds for her own personal purposes, including paying her mortgage; her mother's nursing home costs; and credit card charges for cosmetics and ice cream.

1. And the Freepers, typically, are saluting Durkee as a patriot.

Over on Free Republic, they are celebrating this embellze ment and calling ti patriotism.

To dishonest. hypocrites such a the typical Freeper, anything that hampers the chances of Democratic politicians -- even crimes against property -- are noble and commendable actions.

Which proves that Ultra-Conservatives care nothing about God's or man's laws; all they are interested in is power.
