I'm not convinced that Steele believes that conservatives are the base of the Republcan party. For Steele, it has to be difficult for him to raise money for the three sisters, (Collins, Snowe, Specter), and the other RINOS, (Lugar, Hatch, Voinovich, whoever), and still keep the "Maverick" in line.
As Conservatives, we have to make it clear that we are not going to tolerate any more nonsense from the RNC. Period.
Mr. Steele,
You tow the line on conservative principles to grow the base or forget any money from me.
I told him the same thing in my email. I may give him this one slip up. It all depends on what happens in the coming days. I don’t want a Mr. Smooth.
