The Republi-CON 'We Are Self-Sufficient' Myth

Did you know that federal "[t]axpayers directly contributed $18,248,300 million to the Republican and Democratic national committees, or a total of $36.5 million, to hold their presidential nominating conventions in Election 2012"?

And that Republican National Convention is being "held in a stadium that was financed with $86 million in public funds"?

In the meantime, Republi-con wonder boy, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal won't be participating in the government subsidized fun because he's too busy begging for federal government money.
