My point is that this is somewhat irrelevant from a broader point of view. It's like arguing about who's going to pick up the tab for dinner while the restaurant is burning down.
You're spending a fair bit of effort on something so unimportant. Why not let us all giggle and remain silent if it matter so little?

Are you going to try to claim that the article (and the purpose for posting it on this forum) wasn't about trying to paint Conservatives as being hypocritical when opposing Democrat spending?
Of course it wasn't, you dolt. It was about the continued issues Republicans are having with Steele. It was probably posted here just to giggle at the Republicans but the issues people are having with the spending has jack-all to do with how it compares to Democrats.

Cause I thought it was pretty obvious that this was the entire point here.
That's because you assume everything in the media is some attack on your precious ideology and so will insist that it's true regardless of the facts.

The most relevant point is that the spending by the RNC highlighted in that article is private donor money, while the spending by the Democrat party which conservatives complain about is public money
What a completely meaningless statement. Any money spent by either party at a government level is "public money".
Medicare: Public money. Military: Public money. Dept. of Interior surveys of coal deposits: Public money. Abstinence programs: Public money. Art grants: Public money. Opening a new courthouse: Public money. Closing a naval base: Public money. Auto Bailouts: Public money. Bank Bailouts: Public money. Farm Subsidies: Public money. Billion dollar checks to corporations that protect kidnapping gang-rapists: Public money.
Oh noes! Democrats spend "public money"!! Are you reduced to just making fluff statements now?
