Allison Meyers was director of the GOP's Young Eagles, a group that wooed young donors and visited a strip club in Los Angeles – racking up $1,946 in expenses that the party initially reimbursed. The scandal could hurt the GOP in three ways, in particular.
Allison Meyers, the director of the Young Eagles, a Republican program aimed at wooing donors under 45 years old to the GOP cause, was fired as a result of the strip-club scandal that has embroiled the party this week, according to media reports.
The Republican National Committee reimbursed about $2,000 in expenses rung up by the Young Eagles at a Hollywood nightclub featuring topless dancers and bondage outfits. Ms. Meyers allegedly approved the expense.
Fallout could affect Republican fundraising, particularly among its fiscally and morally conservative small donors....
Alienating small donors
"Already we see big donors avoiding the RNC like the plague. Instead they are giving to the Republican Governors Association,” says Reid Wilson, editor of... Hotline On Call. “That is going to hurt Republican efforts to retake the House and pick up Senate seats in November. Big donors don’t trust Michael Steele, and stories like this scare small donors away.”...
Steele had already alienated some major donors with his spending. He held the party’s winter meeting at a beachfront hotel in Hawaii and drew criticism for delivering paid speeches and writing a book while drawing a salary from the GOP...
Mike DeMoss, a longtime RNC donor, told Politico that, “The RNC cannot attack Democrats for how the government spends taxpayer money when it is spending Republican donor money recklessly. Recent RNC spending stories suggest a tone-deafness at best and a misappropriation of funds at worst.”
Confirming tea partyers suspicions
The nightclub flap could also hurt Republican efforts to reach out to "tea party" voters...

That’s not the kind of compromising position to which I am
referring, of course, but I guess it will suffice.
For the time being.

I am wondering where the rest of the RNC is—it is a committee. So, where are they?
In a secret bunker, munchin’ down on canned caviar?
Are they even on U.S. soil, or are they elsewhere?
Simple questions, that’s all.
LETS MOVE ON...We need to work toward November 2010 and the removal of Hussein Obama in 2012

If she’d been in the DNC, this fundraiser would have led to a promotion.

“Two candidates often mentioned as possible successors are former South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson and former Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. Both were strong contenders for the post before GOP insiders gave Steele the nod.”
Anyone care to discuss the merits of these two, to replace Steele?
Let’s be honest...Steele was always an affirmative action hire, so the GOP could say, “See? We have a black guy!”
This time, we need somebody tough, competent and on the November election like a rat on a roach.
+++++++++++++++
Right. Enough of this liberal crap. Let’s move on, based on the merits, like King implored us in any case!
“Any suggestions?”
Ken Blackwell...
I told our State National Committee Woman that she would regret voting for Steele, they wanted a Black face to oppose Obama and were under a lot of pressure. Ken Blackwell would have been a much better choise. I was only a State delegate so who am I?
Steele has got to go if the pubs want any hope of ever being taken seriously again.
I’m not interested in this until Bill Clinton is arrested for defiling the White House by using it for a whore house. Then talk to me.

Oh, there weren't any Republican Presidents there? And *no one* got oral sex? Boy, did they waste two grand!

Extremely poor judgement. If Steele had knowlege of this, he should be booted too.
Gee, the media doing in-depth investigativ reporting that will keep republicans from winning elections. So surprising.
There aren’t enough traditional conservatives to win elections, unfortunately, either with money or votes.
This election, like every other in recent years, is largely going to come down to who is less objectionable to centrist independents. We may not like the “mushy middle”, but they hold the balance of power in American politics.
I don’t see how Steele can survive this.
Centrists? I doubt they exist as anything but liberals with a tiny bit of economic sense.
Definitely not guilty.
I just received one of those asinine RNC fund raising “surveys,” and, as usual, I filled it out in a way that the RNC RINO establishment will just appreciate so much (LOL).
I never donate to these morons, and this just solidifies my decision mot to do so... ESPECIALLY with that jackass, Michael “RINO” Steel, running the show. What a putz.
