O’Donnell just backed out of Face The Nation- with no explanation.

Melanie Sloan serves as CREW's Executive Director. Before becoming a prosecutor, Ms. Sloan served as Minority Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, working for then-Ranking Member John Conyers (D-MI).

And from what better Representative to learn about ethics?

We have a democrat who bought a new car with campaign funds. When questioned, he noted that he bought the vehicle to transport campaign signs and other campaign materials around his district.

O’Donnell charged for her part of her living expenses because she used her home as her campaign headquarters.

She could have been bowling with a potential donor.

I don’t think you have to be formally announced to be a candidate, once you have been a candidate and set up the appropriate mechanisms for campaign funds.

For example, Senators have campaign-related expenses every year, but they usually don’t formally announce their re-elections until the last year or so.

She said she was running for senate again back in early 2009. She waited until this year to make the formal announcement, but she’s been running for this seat ever since the last election.

BTW, CNN (the reporter) is now who made the statements about O’Donnell. All the statements about her, including the “she wasn’t even running in 2009” were from the CREW press release.

This article is a reporter’s regurgitation of the CREW press announcement of their complaint.

Is David Hust just a roommate, or part of her campaign, or are they in some sort of relationship? I’ve been confused on that part.

Complete lie. What she has done is completely within the law.

Another smear job by the bigoted clowns too arrogant to deal with the fact their side lost. They will scream this accusation and then drop it because it is meritless after the elections.

Standard political tactics by the Progressive Fascist political machine when they fear losing. See this tactics used every election cycle here in Minnesota

Far leftist propaganda outfit that makes it living filing bogus ethic charges against Conservative politicians. This group has yet to file a single charge against a Leftist Democrat. It is no "watchdog" but an illegal Democrat propaganda front group.

Might want to rethink who you are allying yourself with here.

Grow up, Your side lost this one. It happens. Get over it.

Oh, well then. Let’s just invent a few really damaging reasons why this would be so and call it a day. Thank you for making me see the error of my ways. GO BEARDED MARXIST!!

I would not be surprised if the reason for the canceled Face the Nation was someone on her team found out that they were planning to ambush her with this stuff.

The sore losers among the RINO caucus here on Freeper might want to rethink who they are allying themselves with in the desperation to get O'Donnell.

But there not true and you know it.

You, like Rove, are still continuing your sleazy whisper campaign against O'Donnell because you are too childishly arrogant to accept the will of the people and the defeat of your chosen candidate Castle

Your side lost this one. It happens. Get over it.

According to who? How many times has Palin been accused of something like that and it turns out to be some leftie make believe story?

I have little knowledge here.

Are you suggesting she didn't file the lawsuit, but an organization did on her behalf, without her approval?

I don’t know if I care if she goes on Face The Nation — it’s just some politically biased sunday morning talk show.

She could go on some more fair and balanced shows.
