When People Don't Give Cry Fraud

That’s what it kind of sounds like:

The cash-strapped National Republican Congressional Committee released a statement Friday suggesting a former vendor has engaged in fraudulent activity with regard to the committee’s financial audit process.

The statement from NRCC Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) is the only information the committee is providing at this point, and the chairman emphasized that the committee has proactively contacted federal law enforcement to investigate the matter.

“As part of our ongoing efforts to institute and strengthen financial controls at the National Republican Congressional Committee, we learned earlier this week of irregularities in our financial audit process,” Cole said in a statement released by the committee Friday afternoon.

Apparently a lot of Republicans are upset over this problem also, but they are more upset with the NRCC and their management problems. That has sparked the Politico to put this update at the bottom of the post:

(A Note of caution and fairness: Despite the anger many Republicans have directed at the NRCC this afternoon, it’s worth noting that the details of the alleged impropriety remain fuzzy. So it’s impossible to tell at this point whether the committee has handled this particular incident well or not. Stay tuned. We’ll be on this one over the weekend.)

Sorry but people supporting the NRCC who are upset over this are getting what they deserve. These are Republicans and we see their track record on manage funds over all. Look at the billions that have gone missing in Iraq, yet a Republican President and the Republicans in Congress always said “oh well”. So can the party of Randy “duke” Cunningham really be upset over this?
