GOP State Party officials caught in a huge conflict-of-interest. 27 GOP legislators call Haynes and staff on the carpet for “unethical” behavior. Wife of state GOP political director paid to defeat incumbent Republican officeholders.

In the Pantheon of Dumb Political Operatives, these people deserve a special place of honor. Instead of us here at RTP rehashing today’s events, we provide our loyal readers (both of ‘em) the actual letter, delivered of course by (more than) one of our Merry Band of Tipsters.

Letter 1 letter 2

Whew!

There is already major fallout over this, what with everyone scurrying to cover their behinds. But the facts are pretty damning – and Haynes, the Ferrells, Brian Leatherwood and others (which we will name in coming posts) have a lot of ‘splaining to do.

Spiff up those resumes, kiddies. Time to look for a new job.

Someone smarter than me might be able to post the referenced letters. The images are at the link.

As the old adage says, "Follow the money." Apparently, the Tennessee GOP leadership went a step farther and engraved "Show me the money!" above the office door.

Thankfully, these bumbling bandits are far removed from absolute power. In the case of the TNGOP leadership, it might be more accurate to say, “You can’t fix stupid.”

The GOP in it’s total is as corrupt as any few person in the organization. GOP is a mess.

Trump for President.

I am not confident Trump or anyone else running is the answer. While it is true Trump’s support is due to people being fed up with the current ruling class, there are still too many people who want to use government to take other people’s stuff - and that is not limited to just the welfare leeches and crony capitalists.

Buckle up ‘cause we are in for a rough ride ahead.
