Yes, indeed....Angela said, April 5, 2010 7:29 PM...<br />Yes, indeed. I am not a member of the Republican Party. However, I'm one of those who have bypassed the RNC and contributed to individual candidates. The internet sure cuts out the middlemen [the political party elites], and keeps their grubby paws of donors' loot!<br /><br />Regarding Michael Steele. What a cry-baby. Incompetence, stupidity, and irresponsibility, are <i>color blind</i>! Steele needs to man-up and admit he's lost control of the RNC...What little control he had.<br /><br />It's looking more and more like Steele went after the RNC chair so he could collect <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/22/ex-rnc-chiefs-rip-steele-speaking-fees/" rel="nofollow">honoraria</a>. Instead of promoting conservative ideals. Now he want's a <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/03/29/high-flyer-rnc-chairman-steele-suggested-buying-private-jet-with-gop-funds/" rel="nofollow">jet</a>?<br /><br />The funds wasted at Voyeur, on Steele's lavish spending, and stupidly backing bad candidates, could for one, be used taking advantage of New Media [i.e. social networking and other uses of the internet]. As well as retrofitting the GOP website. Having the ParaffinPrencessa [Nancy Pelosi] as a scarecrow on the GOP homepage isn't exactly doing all that can be done to inspire voters to vote conservative. A far better thing to post on the home page would be a list of vulnerable Dems, their Republican Party opponents, and strategies to help them defeat the Dems!tuleeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014957696986132377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-30746990398322262432010-04-06T09:28:36.772-04:002010-04-06T09:28:36.772-04:00The incident in question and RNC monies spent are ...The incident in question and RNC monies spent are indefensible and wrong, and the fact that it occurred on Mr Steele's watch does make him accountable.<br />However, I believe the larger point he intended to make is that some folks in the RNC do indeed hold him to thinner margins of error, but whether that is because of his race is not absolute. It could simply be how the political infighting occurs when there are some who would rather see another person in your position.<br />The motives behind those who critisize Mr. Steele cannot be defined by others.<br />However, I do believe this question was intentionally a "gotcha" type, which unfortunately, he fell for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-47346871113537581902010-04-05T22:57:40.048-04:002010-04-05T22:57:40.048-04:00Yep.

What on earth was he thinking? If it was a careless unguarded comment, then it should be the last straw in a series of many such small errors. If it's really the way he thinks then he had no business representing the party in the first place.Mark Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579795635406374798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-40149275143979118772010-04-05T19:29:38.402-04:002010-04-05T19:29:38.402-04:00You are both absolutely right!

He is ineffectual,uninspired and down right boring with a miserable handle on politics. Never mind telling Steele to man-up. Steele needs to resign and let someone who knows what they are doing run the RNC. But then those with narcassitic tendencies don't ever tend to see anything they do as wrong. That perhaps is the only thing Steele has in common with a competent leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-64136223698031856592010-04-05T14:13:04.575-04:002010-04-05T14:13:04.575-04:00While this is bad enough, there are bigger problem...While this is bad enough, there are bigger problems at the RNC, like its ineffective messaging, horrible media production quality, and a general air of incompetence--like it will totally fumble November (and the several remaining special elections and/or primaries along the way).Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003514911194171512noreply@blogger.com
