The RNC spent more than $340K at a semi-annual meeting in Honolulu in Jan., the latest example of the party spending lavishly on itself while GOP officials worry they won't have enough money to take advantage of a promising national landscape this fall.

Certainly doesn't look good; more of the same. There have been many calls for Steele's resignation.

Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi spends hundreds of thousands if not millions of taxpayer dollars on flying her son around on Air Force jets and buying expensive liquor, food and flowers. What a crackheaded thread this is.

Oh, so you are admitting that the DNC has no self control or common sense and it is their platform to just **** money away on absolute garbage? If that's what you are saying, then you are absolutely correct.

Translation: It's okay for my side to spend extravagantly because we do it blatantly.

Oh so its ok for the dnc to spend more money on hotels because they dont run as conservatives? Guess that means the dnc runs as those that spend money and its fine

What I do find amazing is how you all get upset over this but dont get upset that we have double the liquor bill for the state dept. Which is paid for by tax payer money

Is it your money the rnc is spending?

So taxpayer money for meals and liquor and trips is fine
Dnc spending for hotels and such fine
Rnc spends money for a trip and its bad ( which happens to be the one that isnt your money)
