Pat Rice is blogging about the GOP senate race.
I left this entry:
Mr. Rice:
I don't think it was against RPOF rules to put personal expenses on the RPOF AMEX Credit card, at least according to the "The Politifact"... A grey area at best, but that is in keeping with how company and Government cards work also...
For example: I HAVE to use my company issued credit card to book business travel (flights/cars) and it is automatically paid for by my company. All other charges are mine and I submit a travel voucher to recoup out of pocket expenses (parking fees, gas for the car, Per diem, etc)
As for some of the charges like Computer supplies etc that Rubio charged, I can totally see how that is a party expense.
Likewise, if he is having people over to his house to raise money, etc.. It is a valid reason to charge groceries. It is all about spending Money to raise Money. Greer, however, took it to a whole different level and hence the backlash by grassroots GOP (I know it may surprise you, but we Republicans are, for the most part, a honest lot)
I would also like to point out for the record, it was the LOCAL Republicans (including our local Party in Okaloosa) who demanded that Greer go and a forensic audit take place of RPOF funds. I assure you, once said audit is done, there is a least one Republican in Okaloosa county that will demand that the results of the audit be presented to all Florida County Chairmen and Chairwomen.
I challenge you to ask the Democratic party of Florida to also submit their books to a third party Forensic audit.
By the Way, here is a shameless plug for my Blog:
