More evidence that Steele does not belong in his position as RNC chairman.

If he substantively punishes Collins, Specter, and Snowe-- I will forgive him for comparing us to Nazis.

I don’t have a problem with it. Sends the message loud and clear: GOP=Conservative across the board.

I think they should be kicked out and disgraced too! They are only communists wearing a “R” for disguise.

UPDATE: RNC Spokesman Alex Conant says there's no retribution coming: "The RNC has no interest in getting involved in primaries."

Why do we support these fools?

I don’t believe it but my offer still stands:

If Michael Steele revokes party membership from Specter, Collins, and Snowe, or refuses to provide funds or support their re-election and I will write a check for the first time in my life to the National Committee.

Disgruntled at 22, what do you have to look forward to when you reach your sixties?

Read the article and see my post # 7 for the RNC’s real position. Steele is just playing us on FNC.

What kind of punishment is Steele talking about? What kind of punishment can he give to them?

Actually, I first got involved in Republican politics when the libs and RINOs ran everything.

I am of the belief that the Party SHOULD stay neutral in the primary.

Conservatives usually win, in Primaries and you do not want the Party getting involved, because liberals will, sometimes, be in charge of the Party.

You are to obvious newbie.

Your crap is getting old.

The same goes for others still paying the Rush v Steele
game. They have talked, no problem except for the
Democrat trolls and the Third party loons.

The Democrats are the enemy fight them or STFU

Didn't work out too well for us with McCain.

More proof disgrunted_louisianan is a troll that does not belong on FR.

Did you come over here from DU and try to provoke FR members into a food fight with each other? How cute.

Absolutely there should repercussions against the RINOs who supported Obama’s porkulus. It's been years since we had an RNC Chairman with the balls to keep RINOs in line. That's what makes Steele far better than the useless Mel Martinez/Robert Duncan duo were at RNC Chairman. In the past the RNC would let scum like Linc Chafee vote to the left of Democrats and then happily give him whatever party resources he wanted. You better believe the RAT party has complete discipline over their members (the “blue dogs” will immediately flip to do Nancy's bidding if their vote is needed), and that's why they can pass whatever they want now.

I agree 100%. Anybody who is offended at Steele for standing by and doing nothing while Republicans are compared to Nazis are newbies.

Nothing has changed. Steele just mouthed platitudes to Fox News viewers.
