Wow.
The left wing media never cared about this when it was Obama doing it.

He actually funded Acorn with millions of taxpayer dollars.

Got Michelle an overpaid no-show job with taxpayer funds in Chicago.

Nobody even writes about it.

Very much possible her campaign will collapse. Her vetting process just started. People don’t like, when Politicians do hanky panky with funds.

No she and two other congressmen rented sound systems to address the crowd! This would be similar usage of congressional money for a town hall event! Same thing!

What misuse of funds? This Commie Pinko writer goes down a laundry list of silly events and personnel hires trying to show some sort of criminality, and then ends the sentences saying it is legal what she is doing. At no point in this piece does he say that anything is illegal, misused or otherwise. Do you think the press would give her a pass if there were any real discrepancies?

This is just the typical hit piece on a right winger. Through 50 lbs bag of sh!t in the fan and hope it makes a mess.

This is pretty minor league compared to what the Dems do. If she is to be investigated for this then lets check every Rep., Sen., and the WH for the same thing. People have wised up to the exposé of certain Pols while letting others slide with much dirtier hands.

Compared to who, exactly?

It is the job of a politician to do politics.

Jenny, you seem to be one of those women who can not stand smart, strong, good looking women.

That is my take on you so far.

I read everything you posted.

I don’t think this Member of Congress did ANYTHING wrong.

I have a question and it really doesn’t ave anything to do with this, but I just looked up MICHELEPAC and where donations were given.
http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.php?cmte=C00486738&cycle=2010
There is one I don’t quite get so I am throwing it out there. None of the PAC’s donations to any Republican exceeded $2400, most were $1000. But in Virginia, her PAC contributed $6000 to a democrat who was challenging a Conservative Republican incumbent, Frank Wolf, whose rankings include 100% from National Right to Life, 0% from the Human Rights Coalition, 17% from the National Educational Association, 5% from the League of Conservation Voters, 92% from the United States Border Control.

Is there something about Wolf that isn’t right? What am I missing?

Don’t think for a second that the liberals aren’t all over this, either.

I saw this on Facebook not once but twice in the last hour.

Grrrrrrrr.

So far all I can find out about it is that the donation was a $1000 dollars. It was the only Rat donated to from the PAC and I can’t find a thing on who the hell Dennis Findley is.

Findley, Dennis (D-VA) $6,000
Flores, William (R-TX) $2,000
Gomez, John (R-NY) $1,000
Gowdy, Trey (R-SC) $1,000
Grimm, Michael (R-NY) $1,000
Guinta, Frank (R-NH) $1,000
Harmer, David Jeffrey (R-CA) $1,000
Harris, Andy (R-MD) $1,000
Hartzler, Vicky (R-MO) $1,000
Findley is disabled architect whose wife recently passed away. He withdrew fom the race. But this says SIX thousand. I am baffled.

She is in bed with the establishment Republicans. If they wanted a crowd at a rally, they couldn’t get 100 people. So call Michele and she’ll get the TEA Party people. That’s why she leads the TEA Party caucus, so the Republican Party can use her to get the TEA Party to be their popular support. Why else did all the RINOs speak at that event? Why did House money pay for it?

She probably asserted herself into TEA Party events at their direction which means she’s been a phoney all along. Now she wants to split the conservative vote and let Romney take the nomination. Had me fooled for a while but no longer.

Every single source I can find says it was $1000 dollar donation, which makes sense since $6K is illegal. I would like to know why this guy got cash over the GOP candidate? There is more to this than meets the eye. All of the other people were Tea Party types. Maybe Findley was a TP challenger to this entrenched 18 term guy.
