I am really caught in the middle over this.

I don’t want to be in a state of mind to attack our own, but have been totally UNimpressed by Michael Steele up to now. I can dismiss his television gaffe with Rush, since Rush did that himself. And I can forgive his ‘hip-hop’ cool ‘skin in the game’ mentality that comes across as pandering to blacks and plays into the Dems attack dogs. I can draw the line for all of that and dismiss it as new job jitters.

But I want to know what he is doing for the Republican party. What is he doing to punish Snow, Collins, Spector? He ‘says’ punishment is on the table, but he has done... what...? about it? What is he doing to stop Dems from voting in our primaries and giving us McLame and the like? What is his response to the rumors of an assault on the 2nd amendment? What is he doing to pull us all together, unite us, and bring us back to a strengthened party?

I do not see Michael Steele doing anything positive to further our agenda and put forth our values and ideals. I do see him apologizing and pandering and doing the rounds on all the talk shows.

Again, I would like to support the RNC leader. But... I would need a leader to rally around. And while i don’t want to play into the Dems ‘divide ‘em and conquer ‘em” gameplay... unless Steele stops trying to be ‘cool, hip and now’ and starts being serious, responsible and CONSERVATIVE.... I don’t think I can get behind him.

And I guess ... if we are gonna throw him under a bus, it should happen now, instead of a year or so... before the Dems say we have never solidified. And I suppose that if we replaced him, we could always take the moral high ground and say that we rectify our mistakes while the Dems just put crooks in office anyway.

I guess it depends on what Michael Steele does and says in the next week or so. I would be willing to give him a little more time, but he would need to stop messing around and get to work.
