No one cares. People who scream about irresponsible spending only point it out for their opposition, anything their favored party spends is fine. It's why screams about spending are just tuned out by many, and always will be.

Just look at the rants about Pelosi spending, instead of addressing everyone of both parties spending in the same fashion.

You can hear the crickets when you ask where their screams and rants were at any other time in the last 30 years.

As for one party, must be enforced for both or it loses all meaning. One sided arguments, and the people who make them, always fail.

Yeah, and Republicans are calling for Michael Steele's head. High profile conservatives are telling people to donate to direct candidates rather than the RNC.

They are making mistakes, but people aren't happy about it.

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)
The DNC is a bit more forward thinking than the RNC. It's bad when your platform embraces conservative values and they continue to spend like drunken sailors. You'd think they would have learned something after Bush. Just like the Family Value Party which is a joke in itself when Palins daughter got knocked up during her mothers just prior to her mother being selected as McCains running mate.

As far as how the DNC spends its funds means nothing to me as long as they do the work for the people e.g. health care reform, financial reform, cap & trade etc. What has the RNC done for you lately. Bush did cut taxes for the ultra rich (thank goodness have or soon will expire) and how has those tax cuts for the ultra rich personally enriched your own life? Bush did give us two wars I'll give him that.

But republicans arent spending your money why do you care? But republicans cant spend their money reaching out to people to try and promote what they wish only democrats can do that?

Palins child has nothing to do with this

Yeah wait till Bushs tax cut for the child credit expires and those parents are expecting to get those big checks again next year

Lately the republican party has done something for me by not supporting the healthcare bill.

Has Obama ended those 2 wars?
