Steele is feeling the heat to resign from his office. The reason is he is a RINO.

He's feeling it and rightfully so. I liked him at first but now I'm more convinced than ever that he's just another RINO pretending to have some Conservative Principles.

It's not eh CONSERVATIVES who are the problem. It's the RINOs like Snowe, Collins, Sphincter, and others who are the problem.

He is going to have a hard time raising money for Republicans, and it is his fault.

No good can come from Evil. Steele represents nothing but treason. He needs to go. Period.

Steele was a lot better back in the late 80s when he sang Humpty Dance.

He’s pro-choice, ran a group with Wittman for moderate pro-choice republicans. Also antiSgun rights.
