Apparently you have an opinion yourself. Then I assume you know what they say about opinions, don't you?
I don't take seriously the public statements made by the Chairman of the RNC or DNC for that matter. Howard Dean's public outcries,(with or without actual words) are well known. Yet the Democrats pulled a hat trick in the 2008 election anyway because their candidates ran better campaigns even though they did not have better positions on the issues.
The job of the Chairman of a major political party is to work behind the scenes to get things done. The voters pay attention to the public statements made by office seekers.
I would be more concerned with a public statement or news made by a potential candidate for the office of the POTUS in 2112 such as Governor PALIN, Governor JINDAL, Senator DEMINT, etc.
With regard to Rush Limbaugh, I have this to say. I respect Rush and regularly listen to his radio program. I agree with most of his positions and take issue with some of them. He is a voice of conservatism, but he does not own the movement. I don't take things he says out of context. Only the hateful left does that.
As far as Michael Steele goes, I have this to say. He made a mistake in taking the bate of a CNN lefty like Hughley. He made other mistakes in his comments during that interview. These mistakes were unfortunate but they don't disqualify him to be the Chairman of the RNC. He is above the radar precisely because he is the first person of color to hold the GOP Chair and so must be more careful in the future. However he can't hurt the cause of conservatism without help from the wrong candidate chosen to be the GOP Nominee for the POTUS.
Let's hold on with some optimism for the future and seize opportunities provided to us by mistakes made by liberal Democrats.
Agreed that we should do that. Obama and the Socialists have already made plenty of mistakes for us to seize upon in their first 45 days in power.
It's time that national figures in the Republican party started pounding them over the head with their suicidal legislation.
