There’s a story in Pro Publica this week that hits close to home.  It’s about Republican scam PACs.

Yeah, the fools are still being scammed by people who know a sucker when they see one.  The difference this week is that one of the parties to the scam is a person I know and have done business with.

This PAC, named the Conservative Majority Fund promised to use any monies raised to “oppose Barack Obama.”

The PAC, called the Conservative Majority Fund, has raised nearly $10 million since mid-2012 and continues to solicit funds to this day, primarily from thousands of steadfast contributors to conservative causes, many of them senior citizens. But it has made just $48,400 in political contributions to candidates and committees. Public records indicate its main beneficiaries are the operative Kelley Rogers, who has a history of disputes over allegedly unethical fundraising, and one of the largest conservative fundraising companies, InfoCision Management Corp., which charged millions of dollars in fundraising fees.

This scam took Lynne Archer of Sugar Land, a woman I know, for $3,800.

Archer said she tries to be wary of potential scams, but the Conservative Majority Fund had always sounded “like a legitimate group” when it solicited money.

“Damn, I gave a lot to them,” said Archer, who lives in Sugar Land, Texas, and works for her husband at an automobile dealership. “I don’t like that at all.”

Archer is very wealthy and can afford to lose the money but a lot of the people in these scams are not.

You know, these poor Republicans can’t give to the RNC because they spend it on spa treatments for Roona McDaniels and even the PACs are walking off with their money. You’d think they’d be wary by now, but apparently not.
