Scary Republicans

Looks like there are more incidents that show Republican George Allen's racial insensitivity. Raw Story found it.

Oh, no, another Republican under investigation!!!! Republican Rep. Rick Renzi is the target of a federal investigation, according to UPI.

The man known as the "naked photographer" has lost his law license for at least two years. The man once worked in the office of Republican Ohio House Speaker, Larry Householder, lost his appeal before the Ohio Supreme Court (Dispatch).

The trial of Republican fundraiser, Tom Noe, has tarnished the reputation of current State Auditor, Betty Montgomery. Zwire:
The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation investment scandal has transformed the race for state auditor into a quest for restoring public confidence in the office.
Tom Noe is facing state charges in the $50 million Coingate scandal. This has tarnished Republicans, including current state Auditor Betty Montgomery.
Coingate involved the loss of $50 million in rare coins, which brought a criminal investigation and became a subject for auditors. But the BWC investment scandal also included the loss of nearly $300 million through hedge fund investments....

Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt (OH-2) is now in a tight race with Democrat Victoria Wulsin. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, Schmidt is upset that her scandalous speech about Rep. John Murtha (Democrat and Decorated Marine) is now part of a political ad. Crooks and Liars has thankfully saved a video of Schmidt.
