Michael Steele's handling of the RNC has even got him in trouble with James Dobson's political group, and now they are telling their members to stop giving their hard-earned cash, since the RNC is spending it on sex clubs.

Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council and an influential social conservative, is urging his members to stop giving money to the Republican National Committee, POLITICO has learned.

"I've hinted at this before, but now I am saying it: Don't give money to the RNC," Perkins will tell FRC members in the group's next e-mail newsletter. "If you want to put money into the political process, and I encourage you to do so, give directly to candidates who you know reflect your values."

Perkins' move comes two days after it was disclosed that the committee spent nearly $2,000 at a lesbian bondage club near Los Angeles — a revelation that has revived Republican griping about Chairman Michael Steele and the national party.

"This latest incident is another indication to me the RNC is completely tone-deaf to the values and concerns of a large number of people they are seeking financial support from," Perkins writes.

Maybe he thinks he scares the religious right too. Michael could make my day by going on FOX News and telling Tony Perkins to kiss his ass, STFU and get with the program. Now that's something I might pay to see.

1. One more nail in Steele's chairmanship coffin

The "conservatives values" crowd has long suspected that the national GOP has been milking them for cash contributions and votes, only to have the party disregard pet social issues in favor of a secular economic agenda. Now there should be no doubt remaining in fundies' minds. Thanks to Michael Steele for helping to clarify this situation to Tony Perkins and others. Okay, Chairman, you can resign any time now.

2. Nah - they need him.

He's their prophylactic against charges of racism.

Witness, for instance, this exchange between Congressman Grayson and some teabagger dolt - no one brings up racism but the teabag dude proceeds as if they did and then claims that racism isn't possible because Micheal Steele is somehow involved. :shrug:

5. Okay, Steele's a token condom then

However, unlike most prophylactic types, what Steele as chairman prevents is an adequate level of cash contributions needed by RNC to compete in targetted elections. So I say, by all means leave in there to do a "fine" job!

[Matariki]

6. Indeed. He's a fine, fine choice for the RNC

:evilgrin:

3. According to the Bible and early American history, I believe they're screwn.

Faggots and division, if I remember.

Guess they hate faggots more than the threat and consequences of division.

4. as if such RNC expenditures were TOTALLY SUPER SECRET prior to this media aboration

7. The only thing better

would be seeing Tony Perkins himself being caught up in some big sex scandal.

8. The more of that the better.

The Dems should make sure that one or two GOP candidates get a lot of national publicity. Then they get millions they don't need, starving the others.

9. Sweet hog of Prague--if the kooks who belong to FRC turn off the spigot

the RNC may be forced to shitcan Steele.

[rustydog]

10. But did the FRC tell people to stop giving to RNC when

the world learned Torture and murdering people SUSPECTED of terror was instigated by Republicans?
How is that jesusy, family valuesy, pro-Lifey thing working out for you hypocrites?
