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.
