The more desperate attacks, that the Democrats do, the more they will fall apart. They are their own worst enemy. Not only are they showing how weak they are, but they are also showing how low they are willing to go to get what they want. These are not the people that I want in charge of the country.

The look so Nixonian, they are doing way more damage to themselves than any Republican opponent.
LOL!! Just keep on believing it.... I really think a request by campaign finance reform groups to look into a group with no other known purpose than to funnel campaign funds (and illegally getting tax exempt status and a write off for their donors ) is going to upset voters.
And for the record, on the Nixon comment, I'm hoping you actually know this, but Nixon was impeached for authorizing the break in of the democratic campaign offices at the Watergate Hotel. He was the bad guy. In that case it is VERY "Nixonian"--you know, the public calling for an investigation of what looks like majorly corrupt campaign practices? It's just that Nixon was the crook they investigated. Thanks for making my point.
The Internal Revenue Service is reviewing the tax-exempt status of the nation's oldest civil rights organization, saying criticism of President Bush at the NAACP's national convention in July may have violated rules against partisan activity.
...
Bond called the investigation a political move meant to deter the NAACP from its traditional role of registering and turning out black voters on Election Day, something he said has not been called into question over decades of such activity.
Tit for tat. The use of the IRS as a political tool is more common than most people think.

LOL we have the President of the United States maiking unfounded allegations against a private organization, then follows up with it is up to them to prove they are not guilty. Then he uses to IRS to harass political enemies. Yeah that is pretty Nixonian.

It ain't a conspiracy if someone is really being corrupt . They have to spend 50% or more of their time and money on something besides funding candidates--that would be millions of dollars. What have they done?

The naked emperor accepted plenty of foreign money during his campaigns including untraceable credit card donated from the middle east and African nations as well as donations from BP and the Dems puppet master George Soros. This really is the height of hypocrisy and a sure sign of panic at their loss of total control of Congress.
Dems have responsibility for out of control national debt, double digit unemployment (10.1% & 17.1% FOR LONG TERM UNEMPLOYED), and very unpopular legislation including Obamacare. Is it any wonder they keep tossing out RED HERRINGS?

Wait for their manditory filings just any other simmilar type group including Democrat groups. What do the Dems have to hide, why single out Republicans. Oh that's right Nixonian dirty tricks.
On the NAACP--they're a 501(c)3, which means they can't endorse candidates, or give funds to candidates. If the NAACP gave the appearance of ENDORSING a candidate (not just criticizing one), then a review of their operations by the IRS would be appropriate. As far as audits of nonprofits go, so what? The hassle in any audit is trying to get the documentation together--if you can't document what you've done legitimately, THEN you're going to have trouble with the IRS. My family has been audited before, and the IRS walked away with nothing, because we'd done nothing wrong.
I've worked with nonprofits for over 30 years. In order to receive most grant funds, 501 (c) 3 nonprofits are required to go through a rigorous, independent, certified audit annually anyway. You organize your record keeping around preparing for an audit. It isn't a big deal, and in those instances, all the paperwork would be organized and on hand for the IRS from the previous audits. If they've kept proper records, this isn't a big deal. That is, unless you can't back up what you've done.
