Is it time for RNC Chairman Michael Steele to say ’sayanora’? I’m starting to think so in light of his latest embarrassing and contradictory statements. [H/t Sam Stein, HuffPo--what can I say, that's where I found the story!]
From Stein column:
Speaking with CNN’s Don Lemon [video at link above]: Steele said he “would think about” running for the White House but only if “that is where God wants me to be at that time.”
Discussing his tiff with Rush Limbaugh in which he called Rushbo “incendiary and ugly,” Steele contended that it was all a part of a grand “strategic” plan. I’m very introspective about things. I’m a cause-and-effect kind of guy. So if I do something, there’s a reason for it… It may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there is a logic behind it,” he said. “I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they’re with me but really isn’t. It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand, where, you know, the enemy camp is and where those who are inside the tent are,” Steele added. “It’s all strategic.”

Cynthia McKinney also comes to mind.
It has already been proven that third parties don’t work...we need to take back OUR party. Steele needs to go along with all of the other RINOs.
he should be booted out
How, exactly, do you propose to do that?
Let elected officials and state party chairmen know that he’s a dud and that no support will be forthcoming to the RNC with him at the helm. Send no donations to the RNC and return their fund-raising letters with a message that no monies will be given while Steele is chairman.
What is your proposal?
You’re another one with an R by your name but you set on your high horse attacking a citizen and don’t really know or care what the people are saying
through Rush.
Thought ya had something, like class maybe, but now...I don’t think so.
Steele is such a liar.
But then, so are all politicians.
Agreed.
Steele needs to go along with all of the other RINOs.
Therefore, conservatives need to start winning ELECTIONS, rather than whining and bitching incessantly after losing them.
I’d come to the conclusion that maybe Mr. Steele wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I had no idea that he was also an egomaniac. Yikes.
Yah, this is really bad.
However, that technique (and the threat of using it) is called for about 100 times a day around here, for 100 different reasons.
I think the RNC is desensitized to that tactic.
I think we have to wait ‘til after the mid-terms.
For which country?
RINO ALERT
I’ve had enough!
I’m starting an official [RINO ALERT PING LIST]
FReepmail to be added or dropped.
You may be right but I fear what the mid-term consequences might be without someone better than Steele at the helm of the RNC. I think after two years of the Zero, Pelosi and Reid it could be a great opportunity for congressional gains. The gains could be maximized by effective party leadership, minimized by ineptitude on the part of the RNC.
LOL.
Steele is a manchurian plant or something.
the man is a joke.
Professore Machiavelli, call your office!!
I'm sick of the rino party. Want to help with the list?
