The latest spending scandal should be a wake up call for the Republican National Committee (RNC). Why would those in charge of expense reimbursements believe it was appropriate to spend nearly $2,000 on such an outrageous and offensive venue? If the RNC wants to represent conservatives and the Republican Party, then they have to act like conservatives — in a moral, fiscal, and ethical manner.
When RNC officials seem to think it wise to spend a grandmother’s monthly donation on wooing the younger generation by taking them to a bondage-themed sex club instead of helping to elect a conservative, a real problem exists.
It’s time for the frat boy mentality in Washington to cease, whether it be Mark Foley, Eric Massa, or the woman staffer who was responsible for this episode; whether it be the Republican National Committee or the Democratic National Committee. It’s offensive when leaders of both parties engage in juvenile and irresponsible behavior and bill it to taxpayers or donors.
