These people should read the FEC rules before they so confidently opine about them.

The FEC allows candidates to use campaign funds to pay their usual salary while running up to the amount of the salary they’d make in Congress.

A candidate could use their salary to say, pay their mortgage. It IS perfectly part of the rules, and both legal and ethical.

That was just the Country Club and Log Cabin Republicans trying to roil the waters and help the bearded Marxist.

“The FEC allows candidates to use campaign funds to pay their usual salary while running up to the amount of the salary they’d make in Congress.

And, the author that says:

“On Monday, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed complaints with the FEC and the U.S. attorney in Delaware alleging that O’Donnell had violated the law by using campaign contributions for personal use, paying for gas, bowling, even the rent on her house. That is even more serious. There is no gray area here. No one can use campaign contributions for personal residences. Ever. “

...doesn’t mention a thing about the just-indicted VP Joe Biden, who must pay over $219,000 in fines!

Or, that CREW is a SOROS group, like the type that drove Palin to quit to save her state, and herself, from costly, unfounded attacks.
