Is this how republicans like their RNC donations spent?

Question

READ:
Finance documents show that the Republican National Committee spent nearly $2,000 last month at "a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex."

That is one of the many incredible expenditures reported by The Daily Caller, a conservative Web site. The Daily Caller's piece outlines the high-spending ways of RNC Chairman Michael Steele. Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, has spent much of his first year as RNC chief fending off controversy — and the latest Federal Elections Commission filings on the group's expenditures are sure to send him back into damage-control mode. According to The Daily Caller, two sources say he floated the possibility of the RNC buying him a private jet. He also spent tens of thousands of dollars at luxury hotels in Washington, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, and the RNC spent $17,000 on chartered flights and $12,000 on limousines in February alone, according to the FEC reports.

DNC Drops $10k At Risque Night Club

People really need to get over this puritanical crap. Click the link for Josephine and watch the video - um, especially true for dudes. heh! 

So, what? The DNC can drop ten freaking grand there on who knows what? Did they use the private rooms that night? And it's no big deal. But someone chasing some Hollywood cash for the GOP to, you know, fight a pretty important battle right now means everyone needs to resign and walk away? Are you people freaking kidding me? What world do you live in? US Weekly held a big event at this place in the RNC story they're stuck pushing back against today.

There's no there there, people. And if its GOP prudes, or rejected power-hungry inside the beltway types, pushing this crap, they're the GOP's problem, not some nightclub. You want to play the game, you go where the players go.

Donations aren't tax money, at least.   I'm still waiting for answers on why Nancy Pelosi hasn't been removed from office yet with all of the blatant abuses of resources and taxpayer money she's been involved with for quite some time. It doesn't take much searching to find about about her $100,000+ spending solely on booze and food during flights across not even two full years.

At least with the RNC, we have the option whether or not to donate and can change our mind if we don't agree with the use of money.

What do you think campaign contributions are spent on? Currently Michelle O'Bama is living in a hotel suite and eating room service everyday. Campaigns can spend their money as they like. Is this really an issue for you?

Kind of like Pelosi flying her family all over the place ina plane funded by the tax payers then having about $100,000 worth of food and liquor put on board. Hypocrite.
