I've no doubt of it.  But it couldn't matter less to me.

Here's the difference.  Living high on the hog with other people's money is what Democrats do.  Whether it's in government spending or party spending, they seem to have no objection to treating taxpayer -- or donor -- money as if it were their own.

Republicans are supposed to be about something better -- about respecting each and every hardworking, generous soul who donates even a dollar to its party coffers.

Want arrogant, out-of-control leadership that wastes peoples' hard-earned money and then disdains even the pretense of accountability?  Well, we've got that in Washington already.

The RNC is supposed to be about having higher standards.
