Steele should be fired, but God I hope not. He is gold for us.
The gift that keeps on giving....

Apparently she had been warned about reimbursement procedures in the past.
McKay said in the letter that the staff member "was aware that this activity was not eligible for reimbursement and had been previously counseled on this very subject."
"Accordingly, that staff person has been terminated," McKay wrote.
The RNC has tried to distance itself from the club visit.
McKay said "a group of individuals" attended the club after a "Young Eagles" donor event in Los Angeles, but that "this was not an RNC sanctioned event and was not associated in any way with any RNC official event."

OK then, sounds like a justifiable firing with this information
Alcohol falls under the category of "meals" from an accounting standpoint.
But I agree. There may be misppropriation of all monies spent that evening if some was used for entertainment, but labelled as meals.
Regardless, travel, entertainment and meals all fall under the same final category.
Thanks for the info! I guess things have changed a bit since I worked in the hospitality industry.
After a few days on this board, I can not tell who is being sarcastic or not.
Am I wrong? I pretty much said what I was told by my accountant; but he is the one who completes my returns for me.
AM I wrong?
That was not my question.
I asked:
And you feel that the democratic party campaigns and identifiy themselves honestly?
It was not my intention to answer your question. It was stupid.
Thanks for your assessment.
Interesting that you find a valid question that can easily be answered yes or no as stupid.
You are exactly what is wrong with America today. If you see someones question as not to your liking, call it stupid.
Certainly gives our youth reasons to ask questions.
You should be ashamed of yourself. But you proabably are not. You are the all knowing seer.
Go for it.
LOL!
You all have your knickers in a twist over the incident - and then get the vapors when someone is actually held accountable.
How precious.
WASHINGTON The Republican National Committee has fired a staffer who helped organize a $1,946 visit last month to a sex-themed Hollywood club, and the GOP says it will recoup the money from a donor who also participated.
The episode is the latest in a string of questionable spending by the RNC as Republicans prepare for a costly election season in which they hope to take dozens of House and Senate seats from Democrats.

Hmmmm......sounds like a scapegoat to me.
Let me guess...they pinned it on some minimum wage nobody ....
Where else do you expect the GOP to find new voters?
Jeeze. Lot of interest of what perks they give to donors.
Who cares. This wasn't taxpayer money so who care if they took a couple of young gun donors out for an evening of fun?? I sure don't.
Also. anyone who thinks the DNC doesn't do the same for their donors is just plain nuts. The only difference is the person doing up the expenses sheet was smart enough to put down "miscellaneous" instead of the" Voyuer club". LOL.

Am I glad you opened that door.
Democrats say the laws keep poor and elderly voters - meaning their voters - away from the polls because it's hard for those people to get photo IDs. But Republicans say such laws prevent voter fraud. The debate might explain why the voter-ID law in Indiana got all its "yes" votes from Republicans and all its "no" votes from Democrats.
Beer, Cigarettes and Voting: ID, Please : NPR
The Obama Justice Department has rejected Georgias voter ID system that requires voters provide Social Security numbers and drivers license data in order to vote. The rejection letter cites the laws disproportionate impact on African-American, Asian and/or Hispanic voters that burdens their right to vote.
Patterico's Pontifications DOJ Rejects Georgia Voter ID System
Although liberal media support the old wives tale of GOP voter suppression by requiring identification, careful analysis shows a quite different reality:
The findings of this analysis suggest that voter identification requirements, such as requiring non-photo and photo identification, have virtually no suppressive effect on reported voter turnout.
Controlling for factors that influence voter turn¬out, states with stricter voter identification laws largely do not have the claimed negative impact on voter turnout when compared to states with more lenient voter identification laws.

New Analysis Shows Voter Identification Laws Do Not Reduce Turnout | The Heritage Foundation
"The Constitution grants states the authority to determine "the Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections," but Hillary Clinton and John Kerry are pushing a Count Every Vote Act that would, among other things, force states to allow voters to register at the polls and declaring Election Day a federal holiday. And then they want to force every state to let felons vote--even though the 14th Amendment specifically permits states to disfranchise citizens convicted of "participation in rebellion, or other crime."

Wow. If Steele should be fired because a staffer made a stupid decision over $2K, then what should Obama do for having people on his staff who don't pay their taxes?

What does that have to do with registering strippers to vote?

??????? So, you're comparing enforcing a law/court ruling to not disenfranchise people to using sex to attract people already franchised to vote for your party???

Let me give you a little background here. I have never, ever had anybody on the right answer one question that I asked on these boards. If I post an article or ask them about something, all I get are curses, name calling, and general idiocy.
But yet I am supposed to take that and answer their questions like a good little girl?? I think not!!! You people don't want us to give you an answer. You just want another reason to cuss and name call all over again.
But I am supposed to be ashamed??? Please!!!

Wow. If Steele should be fired because a staffer made a stupid decision over $2K, then what should Obama do for having people on his staff who don't pay their taxes?
You guy just can't make apt comparisons. Firing someone for something done while they worked for you is one thing, firing them for something they didn't do BEFORE they came to work for you is a whole other thing. You guys have a funny notion of right and/or symetry.

I say get rid of them all.
From Steele to Geithner to Rangel.
None of them can be trusted. All of them think they deserve more than the American people.
But that is me.
