Both national party committees spend big chunks on fancy meals, hotels, travel

Both the national Democratic and Republican party committees spend about two-thirds of the money they take in on the care and comfort of committee staffs and on efforts to raise more funds, with lavish spending on limousines, expensive hotels, meals and tips, an analysis of the latest financial disclosure data shows.

Then call the dogs off of Rubio

Never happen. These attacks and smears will only get worse as he continues to gain traction nationally.

Every time I read a headline like this I think of that picture in the back of “Animal Farm” where all the pigs are in the house having a big time while the other animals are out in the barn going without food after working all day.

This, from WaPo? I'm glad I was sitting down. Either this slipped by the liberal censor's eyes and this reporter will be looking for new work come Monday, or . . . IDK. I'm just shocked that includeda fair comparison to the Dems and say both parties do it.

Maybe the DNC talking points came in and instructed them to go light on this topic. The article did say that the political parties are not the same as charitable organizations and need to spend some hefty $$ to get contributions. So the Dems need all the help they can get raising money (cuz we all know libs contribute less of their own money to causes than condervatives). That must be it: report it once and then let it die off . . .
