sounds like the repugs even steal from themselves

House Republicans call in the FBI to help find their missing money -- and there is lots of missing money

And, these are the people who want to manage America's money. No wonder the federal budget was such a disaster under GOP control. They can't even keep track of their own campaign money:

The [National Republican Congressional Committee] has acknowledged publicly that it was aware of “irregularities in our financial audit process” and that it had called in the F.B.I. in February because “these irregularities may include fraud.”

But until now the committee has not acknowledged that any money was missing from its bank accounts or that the financial irregularities might extend beyond the national committee to the campaign funds of individual Republican lawmakers who also worked with Mr. Ward, a longtime party operative.

The Republican officials said they could not discuss the details of their findings on the record because of the continuing criminal investigation.

It's always a criminal investigation with the Republicans. Always. From Bush on down.
