"With the RNC owing nearly $20 million in loans and vendor payments across the country" - Why do Republicans tell us that they are the fiscally responsible people, and that we should trust everything they say about expenses and revenue? I thought the MN GOP was bad given that it still hasn't paid all the counties for expenses it created in the last election. The RNC is even worse at managing money.

Jeff Larson and his deep pockets sound just like the old fashioned sponsors who'd try to get student athletes $20K summer 'jobs'. While I understand the urge to support one's ideals with one's excessive money, it still boils down to buying support.

Have you noticed that all these regressive people who get these upper management jobs in the party look like regressives

He is a good fit for the elitist GOP. Super wealthy, self centered and uncaring and out of touch with the 95% of the country that does not have an unlimited limit on their Master Card. Why support people to run government and its political arms who hate government.

So this guy; runs a firm that robocalls voters with recorded messages of political slander, bought 'down-to-earth' Palin's $150K wardrobe, filed politically motivated baseless ethics claims against our Senator, and enriched himself and his friends with RNC Convention money donated by non-profits. What a gentlemen! The republicans are bringing this guy in to restore 'integrity' to the Republican Party. How morally bankrupt can an organization get?

They are not bringing him in to restore integrity. He's a party soldier - integrity is not required. They are bringing him in to restore the money. He's good at it.
