If there’s blood to be spilled at a party

By American Street

Let it be theirs. Isn’t it funny how the lizard-brained Republican mind works? “Our message and money can’t save us, so it’s every man for himself!”

Have any of them thought “Hey, maybe Americans want their interests represented, so boys, let’s start doing that” ?

Not a chance. They’d rather keep offering square pegs to voters begging to have their round holes plugged on their sinking boats. The last tim,e such lizards proved so unadaptable, they ended up in the La Brea tarpits thinking “Maybe we should have paid attention to the climatologists and worn our woolen pantaloons.”

I wonder if lizard meat is edible? Does it taste like chicken … hawk? Or more like dodo?

"Isn’t it funny how the lizard-brained Republican mind works?"

Do their minds actually work?

Ron Carey, chairman of the Minnesota GOP, has being going after Al Franken over his accountant's tax errors, but the party that claims Christian morality doesn't seem to comprehend the statement "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

State GOP has its own bookkeeping woes

The Minnesota Republican Party has scored a series of body blows against DFL U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken over business irregularities that Franken attributes to his accountant’s mistakes.

But the state GOP has some bookkeeping issues of its own, problems that persist despite a yearlong, self-initiated audit. The party has spent some $78,475 on accounting services since early 2007, according to its reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Failure to fully disclose expenses, questionable transfers of funds, math errors and other reporting problems have been flagged by the FEC in 28 letters to the state GOP since mid-December 2006.

The party has repeatedly missed deadlines to fully correct its reports and has told the agency it is working on solving the problems.

Last month, GOP party chairman Ron Carey said, “Why do Hollywood celebrities think there is one set of rules for them and one set of rules for everyone else when it comes to paying taxes?”

A left-leaning blogger tried to ask Carey about the party’s FEC reports at a news conference the GOP called last week to highlight Franken’s problems. Carey dismissed him, saying the press briefing “is something for our credentialed media here.”

Carey did not respond this week to Star Tribune requests for an interview about the FEC filings.
