RNC Finances In Shambles According To Internal Investigation

The Washington Times:

Barely 6 1/2 months before the midterm elections, an internal investigation by the Republican National Committee has revealed that the organization is beset with questionable financial management and oversight and is spending more money courting top-dollar donors than it raises.

The coffers will fill again when the wall street boys pay them to block reform and whatever industry is next in line. The GOP is like a mob lawyer on retainer for corporate interest.

I just took a look at the GOP website. Michael Steele is listed as "Chairman". Jan Larimer is listed as "Co-Chair". Am I missing something? Wouldn't they both be co-chairs?

No worries. Karl Rove and his shadow GOP Pac has got the donations under control. All Michael Steele needs to do is just sit there and be a prominent black face for the Republican party to use.

Poor accounting controls, maybe they should try further de-regulation of their accounting policies. Their de-regulation hasn't failed they just haven't taken it far enough.

Another example where central planning, centralized authority, a la the growing Washington bureaucracy, is inefficient, wasteful.

Send your money directly to the candidate of your choice for now until they clean up their act.

The first thing republicans/teabags want to do is criticize the President on spending. They are mismanaging money within their own tiny party. Bush already proved that you are can not manage the country's money either.

GOP implosion/self-marginalization story number 3167 or is it 3168?

There are so many stories of how the GOP is imploding, it is high entertainment!!
All this while the Dems are teaching their local fundraisers how to do fund-raising through FB and other social media.

Game over GOP, try again next century!

This is why the Republicans are for reducing spending. They don't have any money. :-)

Oh and Michael? You havin' fun babe? Some part of you must have always rebelled at belonging to that party. (And you know why everytime you look in the mirror to shave). Keep it up. We're having fun out here too.

This report appeared in the Washington Times, so it is hard to see how Steele and the RNC can claim that it is motivated by partisans which is their normal song and dance

Too precious and perfect. So the old school 'fiscally conservative' party has its own party head quarters is in financial disarray.

That about sums up the macro impact of the party's reck1ess financial governance of our nation.

Sad for the country actions, but hilari0us for the party actions and directly attributed repercussions.

LOL!!!
