From Eric Dondero:

Democrats and the liberal media have been savaging libertarian-leaning Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele over the recent controversy of RNC funds used at a Topless club in Los Angeles. Now, an odd partner has joined in. The Religious Right is now attacking Steele, as well. Some religious conservatives (not all), have even advised their adherents to stop giving money to the Republican National Committee cause of Steele's "reckless" behavior.

But as gay gal Bridgette P. LaVictoire of the aptly named LezGetReal blog states, other GOPers, particularly libertarian Republicans are rather laissez faire on such matters.

From LezGetReal.com:

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council has put out a missive telling those who will listen to him to not give money to the RNC or the Republican Party itself. This comes after a $2000 trip by Republican staffer Alyson Myers and several donors to a voyeuristic bondage club where women simulate lesbian sex acts.

According to Perkins “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.” Of course, the GOP’s libertarian wing, which is growing rather stronger lately, has little interest in many of the issues that Perkins and his fellow Social Conservatives support.

As LaVictoire suggests, a loss of Religious Right donors could all be made up for, by a gain of more socially tolerant younger voters, and even gay voters who have a great deal of disposable income; both groups having been previously skeptical of the GOP.
