That is what Rep. Rick Renzi is accused of:

Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., allegedly defrauded dozens of pro-life organizations for hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund his first congressional bid, according to an analysis of the recent indictment against him, a state insurance claim and an interview with an insurance lawyer involved in the case.

When federal prosecutors indicted Renzi, 49, on 35 felony counts two weeks ago, many reports focused on alleged crimes stemming from a complicated series of land swaps the congressman facilitated.

But the indictment also accuses Renzi, who ran an insurance firm before coming to Capitol Hill, of misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance premiums and using the money to fund his congressional campaign.

Now McCain is supposed to be a pro-lifer. Renzi is a big dog on his campaign staff, and McCain won’t ask him to leave. It sounds like McCain thinks it’s fine to defraud pro-life groups out of thousands of dollars. This might be handy to remember.
