Looks like the GOP 'Large Tent' wasn't large enough for *all* its contributors' interests.

A Republican National Committee member from New Hampshire resigned his position with the embattled national party on Tuesday, telling Chairman Michael S. Steele that "the committee has clearly lost its way."
Sean Mahoney, one of 168 RNC members who elected Steele, said the scandal involving the RNC spending $1,900 at a risque California night club is "the straw that broke the camel's back." He said he was resigning in protest of what he considers inappropriate spending of donors' money.
"The scandal represents a pattern of unaccountable and irresponsible mishaps that ought to unnerve every fiscal conservative," Mahoney wrote in his resignation letter, which was released to the Union Leader newspaper. "Overspending on private planes, limousines, remodeling, catered parties and high-priced junkets demonstrates a complete lack of respect for RNC donors; a lack of respect that spelled out all too clearly in a leaked Power Point presentation that mocked our Committee's own donors."
