The Republican Party of Delaware has filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission, accusing one of its own Senate candidates of illegally collaborating with the Tea Party Express. Attorneys for the state party asked the FEC to launch an immediate and thorough investigation into conservative GOP candidate Christine O’Donnell “to remedy the alleged violations and to ensure that these violations immediately cease and do not reoccur,” according to the complaint filed Thursday. O’Donnell, who faces Rep. Mike Castle in Tuesday’s primary, came under fire from the state party shortly after tea party-backed candidate Joe Miller upset Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Alaska GOP primary. Following the Alaska race, the Tea Party Express redirected its efforts to Delaware. The organization’s chairwoman, Amy Kremer, said that 10 staffers are on site and vowed to spend $250,000 to help O’Donnell before the primary. The complaint alleges that the O’Donnell campaign is “knowingly accepting illegal campaign contributions from the Tea Party Express” political action committee. It cites two “alarming” instances: — O’Donnell has knowingly accepted excessive contributions from the Tea Party Express that were directly solicited on behalf of the O’Donnell campaign, according to the filing. — O’Donnell has accepted illegal excessive contributions from the Tea Party Express by engaging in a statewide coordinated communications effort in support of her campaign. This means, according to the complaint, that every advertisement that is being run by the Tea Party Express in support of O’Donnell is a violation of federal law. The issue won’t be resolved before Tuesday. An FEC spokeswoman said it was “highly unlikely that the case could be expedited before the primary.” Delaware State GOP Chairman Tom Ross offered this statement: “Christine O’Donnell needs to immediately call upon her third party supporters to cease and desist this illegal behavior,” he said. “This type of behavior has no place in our political process, and O’Donnell should denounce these illegal ads. Donors deserve to know whether they made an illegal donation so they can demand a refund and get their money back.” Neither the Tea Party Express nor the O’Donnell campaign could immediately be reached for comment.

The GOP establishment is scared to death. I LOVE IT.
Does this mean you condone illegal activity?
No it means you don't understand America or its constitution, just like your hero Obama.
PLease point to the clause that turns elections into a commerical enterprise. Thanks.
CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW... NO LAW NO LAW NO LAW NO LAW. No go get a dictionary and look up the word no.
You didn't answer the question which I repeat here: Under what clause of the constitution are elections made commmerical enterprises?
Palsey kicking up today, fornicator?
LOLOLOLOL
That lump of shit on your doorstep this morning was the sacrificial lamb you sent her...Rudgear. Next time send someone with wit AND a spine. Lord knows that you coukld use both.
What are you talking about? Haven't you got young kids to traumatize??
No. BTW, I hear Goldi is available.
Stick with the kids, kid.
No interest in stealin' your thunder. BTW< Stone will be back around lunch; you'll have to treat your wife like shit some more to tie you over.
Has your daughter gotten that restraining order yet?
No...but if you show up again we will...
Not from me, silly, from you!
Why would she need one from me? I'm not the one whose Tagline is you flashing someone. When you tell your wife you love her, are your fingers crossed or do you just let your eyes do the work?
Sorry, Mr Winky. That would be you.
I look nothing like that. Sorry Mr. Douche...that's French for "c**t wash", btw...you're trying to permeate a perimeter that can swat you while yawning...
Chuckles...can't express yourself on your own, see Dick run?
You couild have typed "Yes"... Still not getting the blocked graphics thing are you? /dumbfuck
I'm glad Tull is finally posting an image that fits him to a "T". And seems pretty typical of most other Palin supporters here too.
Morning Beefeaters.
Everyday you show us how well you are earning your cop pension. LOLOL What's a beefeater ...a Brit? I'm one quarter Brit on my dad's side.
That would be yours and Mommy's breakfast.
But I thought Gilbey's was MG's "breakfast of champions"?
You might be right, L. Actually anything 80% proof or better is just fine for the shrew and Moms :P
It's nice to see you show your vast personal expertise and experience on the various types of booze, but if war is guilty of your accusations, why haven't you as a so called retired 'cop' arrested him? It's not like his personal info hasn't been posted here. Times awastin' to put your money where your mouth is.
