the dems and their willing accomplices in the media are attempting another Foley type attack on Republicans.
Next they’ll try to access Steele’s credit report... wait.

What? We're making a huge scandal out of $2,000 out of millions and millions spent?
C'mon people...that's like saying the Repub party are violent war-mongers because a brick was thrown thru one window.
GET SOME PERSPECTIVE!!
Why is it Repubs lose all sense when the word "SEX" is mentioned?

Makes you wonder just who Reid Wilson, editor of... Hotline On Call, is to be commenting on RNC finances.

She should have been fired. This is not the sort of image the GOP needs to be developing, and unless she was there to protest the club's activities, she went "off-rez" and should be terminated. This is precisely the same sort of loose-cannon-type behaviour that fools like McCain have a weakness for indulging in. Whether it be trampling on first amendment rights, or trampling on lesbians in bondage, neither activity should be encouraged by the GOP.

AGREED! The regular useful idiots are playing right into the media’s scandal du jour.

What’s more important: Michael Steele keeping his job, or the Republicans taking back the House in November?
That’s a no-brainer. Steele must go. He’s killing us.

Actually, closer to prehistoric. I resemble that remark!
Actually I'd prefer Fred for Sarah's Dick Cheney.

This is a calculated hit to damage Republicans. I wont work. It seems to me more a calculated hit to damage Steele, who after all was not at the strip club and apparently knew nothing about the indicent. (Poor thing, he was busy flying back from Hawaii.) The story was promoted by conservative Tucker Carlson on his "Daily Caller" website and has been mentioned repeatedly in National Review's Corner.
The blame should be assigned to the person who ran up the charges at the club, which apparently were billed as "meals." If the RNC staffer approved a fraudulent invoice, I'm not sure that justifies firing her. It might justify prosecuting the guy who submitted the invoice.

Let’s not confuse the desire to replace Steele for other reasons, with every little hiccup the democrats want to use against all republicans.
The party is “tainted” by one stupid incident? I think not. Apparently some woman wanted to take donors to a risque place. Big whoopee.

Fred Thompson for RNC Chairman. Absolutely not. Thompson's behavior assured McCain's nomination. Methinks you've fallen for an act.

I'm amazed that people are still donating to the RNC. It's all about donating to individual candidates for me, and select 527s organizations, at this point. Having the RNC back Scozzafava in NYC, only to have her then endorsed the Dem, killed the RNC for my wife and me.

None of this is illegal and the party has a right to spend money as it pleases. This article talks about “misappropriation”. Please, this woman tried to be too “cool” and obviously gave some donors what they wanted. People going to strip clubs is an old old story, as is reaction as to whether it is approprate.
Everything that happens is not a big deal.

Anyone know how long Allison Myers has been associated with the GOP’s Young Eagles?
To: iowamark
I will not reduce my donations to the RNC by as much as one dollar from their current levels...........

Somebody probably told her it was ok. She was probably a low level staffer and sacrificial lamb. I am just guessing thats what happened. I stopped responding to RNC fund raising long before this latest snafu.
