I thought it was a little ironic that the Democrats where getting all upset about Michael Steele's comments about the war on Afghanistan, especially because some of them were making comments similar to Steele back when President Bush was in the White House. Well, it appears some of their own are starting to call them on it.
It is the main reason the story about RNC spending was a non-starter. But at the end of the day, these stories are why so many rank-and-file members of the RNC feel that their leaders are out of touch with the base of the party. Many of us back home in the heartland are suffering in the current economy, yet our leaders are still running around holding fancy meetings in New York and Hawaii.
They give the party flexibility, but also result in a loss of oversight and control over spending. CreditCards.com discusses the dilemna.
All the talk of Michael Steele's fundraising prowess, and then we get this story. This is not a good sign in what should be a good election cycle for Republicans. I think Jerry McGuire said it best, "Show me the money."
Look, the story about the Los Angeles night club makes for great punch lines on Leno and Letterman. SNL will probably come up with a genius spoof.

Word that the DNC is looking to amend their primary schedule and to de-emphasize the role that party elites play in the process.
Looks like the DNC is up to their dirty tricks again. Reports are suggesting that the DNC has already pulled ads that began airing over the Labor Day weekend that suggested that several members of Congress "voted to abolish Medicare." The non-partisan FactCheck.org says otherwise.
What is the matter with saying "no" ot socialism?
