Are You Kidding?… RNC Candidate’s Firm Worked to Secure Obama Stimulus Funds For Clients

Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Wisconsin GOP and candidate for RNC Chair, who told reporters in October that “Obama should be executed” is in even more hot water.

Now, we find out that Priebus’s firm helped clients secure Obama Stimulus funds.
Frum Forum reported:
FrumForum has learned that Reince Priebus, the state chair for the Wisconsin GOP and a current RNC Chair candidate, is listed as working as a lawyer on a team which helps clients secure federal stimulus funds.
Despite multiple listings on his law firm’s website, Priebus tells FrumForum that he has never worked with his firm’s ‘Stimulus and Economic Recovery’ group.
Priebus is a partner for the law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLP in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In February 2009, his firm announced the creation of a ‘Stimulus Legislation Team’, of which Priebus was listed as a member.
Dan Riehl at Big Government added this:
Reince Priebus is currently being touted as a front-runner to replace current RNC Chair Michael Steele. But Priebus’ leading role among a select group of high-powered Wisconsin attorneys targeting clients to assist them in maximizing stimulus dollars, at the same time the anti-stimulus RNC employed him as interim general counsel, raises some troubling questions, not just for Preibus, but for the Republican Party as a whole.
There is much more at Big Government.
Priebus is currently leading the field of candidates vying for the RNC Chair position.
The Obama stimulus supporter is ahead of Obamacare lobbyist Maria Cino.
And, that is just one reason why I am supporting conservative “West Point Mom” Ann Wagner from Missouri.

This is why the 3rd party, Tea Party is forming, to get away from the same Republican-Democrat parties. There is no difference. I haven’t given money to the RNC for many years and if Steele, Priebus, or any other like them gets elected to the RNC, the 3rd party will become a force. People wont stand more of the same.

Hilarious and hardly surprising.
There is no difference between the parties and there is no clearer example that this latest pork filled crap sandwich.
This past election meant nothing and this guy is just more of the green (money) addicted mess that we have going on here.
IronDioPriest commented:
This guy’s fingers in scrapping for “stimulus” funds is a disqualifier.
HOWEVER: To say that he “told reporters in October that “Obama should be executed” is a completely sloppy reporting of the facts, or at worst, a disingenuous misrepresentation.
Why say such a thing when the facts show that he made this statement in reference to meeting OSAMA on the battlefield and killing him – mistakenly transposing Osama for Obama?
I expect better here.

What the RNC needs is a West Point Mom.

I am having a hard time distinguishing the good guys from the bad. I guess i will stick with the tea party from now on.
Maria A commented:
Sorry, but somebody with such a stupid name as “Reince Priebus” (rhymes with Prius) shouldn’t be elected to anything.
BurmaShave commented:
Reince Priebus is the RINOs’ favorite, a worthy successor of Michael Steele the previous favorite of the RINOs.

You must start somewhere with restoring faith in the RNC and putting a real conservative at the top is a good first step. Who are the the other people who made all the bad decisions on backing rinos year after year and how do we get rid of them? Till i see more principled choices i will write my checks directly to canditates with an ear to their constituents and an eye to the consitution.
