Now we have reports that Steele was praising ACORN.
It is becoming abundantly clear that the RINOpubbie establishment is in bed with ACORN too, just like the DemonRATs.

Thomas Lifson What on earth was Michael Steele thinking? With Democrat vote maximizing ACORN on the rocks, he offers praise and excuses. ACORN president Bertha Lewis gave a National Press Club speech portraying ACORN as a victim that provoked even liberal Dana Milbank to scoff. But somehow, the GOP's chairman sees ACORN through rose-colored lenses.
Matthew Vadum of the American Spectator writes:
In a video of Steele from a Sept. 21 speech that surfaced on a left-wing website the day of Lewis's speech, Steele praises Lewis. "The current head of the organization, she's done a phenomenal job getting out in front of it," Steele said. "I applaud her. I take her at her word that she wants to work to make sure that the bad apples are thrown out."
Steele said he respects ACORN's history of "working in the community and helping the poor."
So much for the Republican boogeyman.

We cut this idiot too much slack. Resign already.
NEXT TEA PARTY SHOULD BE AT GOP HEADQUARTERS!!!
ANYONE ELSE AGREE??
Duncan Hunter, Sr. would be much better.
Juan McCain SPOKE at ACORN!!!!!
Another RINO......and we have far too many of them....
McCain spoke at ACORN too??? No wonder during the campaign he refused to bring them up.
I don’t know how the republicans got smeared as evil and mean. I mean, they’re always bending over backward to help their adversaries.
That was last fall. Probably trying to butter them up, so they’d steal dead Republican votes as well as dead Democrat votes.
How’d that work, Steele?
Now we have reports that Steele was praising ACORN.
It is becoming abundantly clear that the RINOpubbie establishment is in bed with ACORN too, just like the DemonRATs.
Yes. See post 9.
Michael, give it up. They won’t vote for you! Just ask Juan McCain. The stampede of Hispanic voters trampling each other to vote for him never happened.
This imbecile became the “leader’ due to white guilt. Now that this “experiment” is over, kick him out. Yeah, yeah, I’m racist blah blah blah..
If the RNC does NOT find another person for this job, I will change my voter registration before the next time I can vote..
I have been a registered Republican since I was 21, and I am almost 70.
They will lose me.
I see reference to a “Conservative Party” in a couple of eastern states.
Is this a nationwide group?
I may have to contact Alan Keyes.
You mean the 6 time loser Alan Keyes???
Response: Yep.
Response: Yep.
The NY Conservative party is getting attention because of the special election up there, but I do not know of any nationwide Conservative party.
that makes sense, now I know why he hardly brought them up during the election, he was in bed with them. Disgusting, what else is knew with the RINO party, they still dont get it do they
For the record Alan Keyes called for Reparations during the 04 Senate Election..
Further proof that the democrat and republican parties are just two branches of the GOVERNMENT party.
Steele doesn’t even consider the propriety of using taxpayer money to support a group like ACORN or the wisdom of allowing third party groups like ACORN to solicit (or manufacture) voter registrations for people too lazy, uninvolved, stupid or too dead to register on their own.
What a clown!
Nobody needs an AR-15! And now he praises the corrupt and incompetent ACORN CEO!
Not one dime until this clown is no more!
I am sure they ALL spoke at ACORN and praised them in some facet or another. Big deal. Remember when ACORN was politically correct? Now they are just political crooks.
Unfair and racist. That squirrel has the clear advantage.
The mans stupidity continues to amaze me.
Get this guy out of there.
The last thing I want in the head of my part is someone who wants to be bi-partisan with the worst shakedown artists out of a party of shake-down artists.
Steele doesn't know who he is, and he doesn't know who we are. He has no business leading what he doesn't know how to lead.
I agree with another post; get Hunter. Get someone who wants to fight. Nobody fields a quarterback who wants to commiserate with the other team; you hire a quarterback who wants to run touchdowns one after another.
Is this guy trying to implode the GOP? Is he secretly working to drive people into a third party?
“....I will change my voter registration before the next time I can vote..”
Do it today. You’ll feel much better.
The GOP IS NOT GOING TO EVER BE THE PARTY WE ONCE KNEW!!!
Republicans get smeared as evil and mean, because for years they’ve been in the “high-road” posture of being
masochists, and the Dems have been willing sadists, eager to exercise their talents on the “guilty-about-everything” Republicans. W was like that, so was McCain, so is Steele.
The time is up on these kinds of pathetic psychological role-playing. If the Pubs “under Steele” blow it this time and continue doing stuff like backing in the New York 23rd election, people like Dede Whatsherface, they deserve to get the brunt of the tea party pressure.
And, oh, I read yesterday , that Michael Steele has a website called “What up”. How......”with it”......I guess...
Count yourself lucky in that you can still be ‘amazed’. I became numb last Nov.
EXACTLY, and it’s exactly a large part of the reason Obama became President, too. Ironic, isn’t it? The degree to which delusional laziness plays a part in our collective political decisions.
Are you a member of the Republican Party?
No, but I play one on TV
The fact that the RNC is pushing to expand their RINO membership tells me their hasn’t yet been enough pressure placed upon them to counter the direction they have chosen, therefore a major assault via mail, email, telephone is in order.
If they don’t respond to a massive protest of their Leftist direction positively, and in a timely manner, then it is apparent they have been completely absorbed by the Dark Side.
Then, and only then should we consider our alternatives.
The Left will rejoice should we select to go third party, and relegate ourselves to the oblivion of that category of Political parody.
wasnt michael steele on the muppet show?
You care what I think, Dorothy, or you wouldn’t bitching at me like jilted, double bagged, one night stand.
YES!
Ever wondered why you have such vast experience with double bagged, one night stands?
Because they are a dime a dozen, just like the RINOs here.
Is this predilection a prerequisite for membership in the mighty Falcon/Phonebooth Party?
MS needs a real spine...is there a Dr. in the house?? Even so, I believe he needs to resign. *Sigh*
lol.
Go stick your lips on Scazzafava’s rear end and quit polluting this conservative website.
Not feelin’ so plucky and, oh, so very clever anymore are ya, Bunky?
All I know is I’d be ashamed to support a libtard like Scazzafava who makes Arlen Specter seem principled. But to each his own, Dorothy. Have at it.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
That's obviously a hypothetical, since you have no sense of shame, for which I'm sure the local purveyors of double bagged, one night stands are grateful.
