The Republican National Committee announced Wednesday that it plans to submit an addendum to its recent complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission about the fundraising of Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

1. Jealous.
They're idiots wasting their time and Obama's. But who gives a fuck... they'll get nowhere and the frustration will drive the freepers crazy... and I'm all about the schadenfreude. All about it.

3. They can't handle the fact that MILLIONS of Little People contributed

12. Oh ya this will finished in 2 weeks ..NOT
The RNC is also asking that the FEC audit the entirety of the contributions received by the Obama campaign – even contributions of less than $200 which the campaign is not otherwise legally required to itemize or disclose in its FEC reports.
