It’s Local, But … Damn
I tend to cringe at the words Fort Bend County Republican Party. Those are some sick puppies with judgement sticks in their hands and overflowing hypocrisy mugs.
Every election year, they file complaints against the Fort Bend County Democratic Party at the Federal Elections Commission. Every year we answer the complaint and we win. They find some ole retired guy with absolutely nothing to do and it’s his job to tie Democrats up in paperwork for months.
We don’t reciprocate because we don’t have to. The FEC finds plenty to complain about on their own. Most of the time it appears that they are playing money pool. They bounce money around, trying to figure out how to make it all fit. Or, hiding who gets paid what.
But the latest is a blast! They show themselves to be $22,000 in debt but won’t say who they owe the money to or how they got so deeply in debt. Here ya go, look for yourself at some very creative mathematics.
I’ve known about this for a while but I was waiting on the FEC to catch it. They did. Here’s the Holy Hell What Are You Doing letter right here.
Sneak Peek:
Okay, I admit a certain degree of glee over the mess they have made. And glee that they appear to be deeply in debt. And that they have paid a law firm for “legal and compliance” (aka God only knows what) to the tune of $22,805 this year alone.
Keep up the good work, guys.
I wonder whose relative owns the law firm.

2Have a look at Jared Najvar on the google. He’s the Najvar Law Firm, and a specialist in Election Law.
Obama took their money to fund Jade Helm. It is as simple as that.
3So, what happens if they don’t make the necessary adjustments? The last time I heard, the FEC can’t (or won’t) do anything anyway.
4Hahahahahahahaha!
5Idiots.
I once worked for somebody who did this every damn month on the monthly report to the Board. He wasn’t the least bit creative or inventive. The same amount kept floating here and there and you just could not miss it. The Board finally canned his ass. His defense? He thought doing so proved he was being a good money manager! The Board would not give him any kind of a recommendation for any other job anywhere. That meant whatever he did he had to start from practically an internship and work his way up. He was actually too old to do that and still be able to retire. Karma can really bite!
6Maggie is right — Karma can really bite for the recipients, but goodness, it’s just so much fun for the observers! Yes, this made me jolly!
7there’s no such thing as a negative cash balance, unless they’re writing knowingly bad checks, which is itself an illegal act. so, in addition to the almost $23k they’re in the hole to law firm, they’re another $23k in the hole to whoever they wrote those vulcanized rubber checks to, making it around $46k they have current liabilities for, not $23k.
8You said there wouldn’t be math.
9You don’t have to do the math, Maryelle, just observe it. Which, admittedly, can be just as painful.
10The final date to respond was last April, and the letter plainly said there would be no extension. So what was the response? Did they come up with real numbers, or what?
