Why Do The GOP Cocksuckers Think Government Just Wastes Your Money?

Because since THEY are busy doing it, they figure the rest of us must be wasting it just like THEM.

Take the Florida GOP. Man, it doesn't get any better than THESE guys. Remember Scrooge McDuck rolling around in all the cash in his money bin? Maybe you're too old or too young to remember but it looked like this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUiz0GG8PaqVXvN3QegOfsATccKcCzVx8TuEKLMG_Xe6ugw2AQaviG5dgaYNqCNv6FLY7FUk6fG3jCusxjlQy-dIXbZRlf0i9zF0s8nY4mRiVirKQ11rLY_2wbj1i6ySe0hyjoaRO5uMkIm9o/?imgmax=800

Just like the GOP Cocksuckers do when they get their sweaty little hands on a party credit card. You'd be amazed at how easy it is to flummox these rednecks out of their cash. Then again, maybe not.

The latest spending problem for the Florida GOP is Melanie Phister, who served as finance director for state House campaigns for 2½ years starting in mid 2006. in that time, Phister charged almost $1.3 MILLION on the party credit card for stuff like $40,000 at a London hotel, $15,000 for another stay at a swanky Miami hotel, thousands on jewelry and sporting goods and the best part, almost twenty grand on plane tickets for the former Florida House Speaker, Ray Sansom. Why is this 'best of all'? Because Sansom is already being investigated for HIS OWN SPENDING PROBLEMS of charging 175 Large over two years on the party credit card for things like $11,475 at Best Buy and $839 at Starbucks. (Two years? Sansom drank $839 worth of coffee in two years? Damn, that is some serious caffeine abuse.)

Phister is not the only one, just the latest. Take a look at what's turned up in the last couple of months:

- On March 31, 2010 TPM Muckraker passed along the news that former FL GOP chair Jim Greer is under criminal investigation for allegedly awarding himself a lucrative party fundraising contract.

- On April 1, 2010, The Miami Herald reported top party officials offered Greer a fat severance package that included $124,000 in consulting fees for another year of work.

- Also on April 1, 2010, The Herald reported Greer's lawyer said "associates" of the incoming state Senate president and speaker of the House offered Greer $200,000 in "hush money" to keep quiet about the severance package. The GOP lawyers said that was a load of crap.

- After Greer publicly cut up his American Express card at a state party meeting with a pair of scissors in August of 2009, claiming "No more American Express cards issued to leadership under this chairmanship," $100 flower arrangements appeared on the card of Executive Director Delmar Johnson for Greer's wife and Gov. Charlie Crist's, as well as $1,800 for "in-flight catering services."

- Then Marco Rubio, Crist' opponent in the race to fill one of Florida's Senate seats, charges lotsa personal expenses on the AmEx card the GOP issued to HIM when he was Florida Speaker of the House. Those expenses included about $4,000 to repair his damaged family minivan and rent a car for several weeks, plus a $134 haircut. (Who charges $134 to cut somebody's hair? And they gave John Edwards a bad time for HIS $200 haircut.)

- Then Richard Corcoran, Rubio's chief of staff, uses a party credit card to buy "$1,200 for handcrafted chairs for top Republican officials and $6,773 at a Georgia resort for a Rubio family reunion." (Twelve hundred bucks for chairs? How fucking many of them WERE there?)

Yes, it just goes to show you, if Republicans scream about something being a real problem in this country, you can just bet THEY are the ones doing it. Look at all the pedophiles in the Republican party. Look at all the self-hating homosexuals in the Republican party. Now look at all the spendthrifts in the Republican party. Since they regularly con us into believing them to be regular guys, they figure WE have the same problems THEY do.

With Thanks to The Miami Herald, The St. Petersburg Times and TPM Muckraker.
