This point in time in the history of our country it is absolutely essential to have leadership in opposition of the Leftist, Socialist, Democrat machine that is consuming everything that made this Nation the best in the entire World, grinding it up and discharging it into the historical compost pile of governance that already contains tons of manuer such as the Left are want to replace ours with. What’s laying in that compost pile rotting is deserved, but NOT ours.

We have to gain the leadership that will lead us to grab the left and run them through their own machine.

Michael Steele isn’t the leader we need. Michael Steele is confusing. That isn’t leading.

For the sake of our country we ask Michael to do the right thing, and step down NOW. We request him to do that one very patriotic duty, or we will be fighting not only the Left, but the confusion generating from the GOP as well. We don’t need that extra burden in todays Political atmosphere.

I've noticed, down through the years, that is the first sentence of the memo/email says, "Good luck in your future endeavors", that you had better start packing up your desk and move on before reading the rest.

So here it is Mr. Steele, "Good luck in your future endeavors, may they not be in politics!".

In case some of you didn't get it, that means I vote to fire him.

Let them come. Conservatives don’t fear the race card.

We deal in character, principles, truth, open debate, and constructive solutions. It is what we expect from those who assume leadership roles.

I await their arrival.

I don’t think Lindsey Graham will like to see a Scott Brown victory in MA — it will reduce Lindsey’s bargaining, that is, treason power. In retropsect, we could see Scott and Lindsey competing with the two ME girls to be the 60th liberal vote, with McPain yapping on the sidelines.

I vote fire him.

No funds from me to RNC- or even to local Republicans until we have some serious leadership at the top.

I don’t count Steele as a leader.... FIRE HIM !

Kind of hard to raise money from people you’re insulting—when you’re not ignoring them.

Steele made a handful of major gaffes early on. I believe Steele has learned from his mistakes and has gotten better. But the perception of a gaffe making Steele remains.

There are people out there who could do the job better and the position is too important and the times are to perilous to waste any more time.

Steele is correct. We need to get over the early gaffes or we should fire him.

I support Fred Thompson as the next RNC chairman and it needs to get done ASAP.

Steele is no conservative, but then again, the Republican Party is not a conservative party.

Anyone have an email for this clown. I think a little freeping would be in order.

Steele doesn’t have the leadership or vision to lead the party. Fire him and replace him with Sarah.

Michael has looked uncomfortable in this position all along. Maybe this is his way to resign without resigning. Each time I wanted him to look and speak with confidence, he seemed timid and apologetic. He’s too nice a man to be an attack dog.

A good man, but maybe he’s right... replace him. Personally, I think America is way too harsh on black conservatives, with both sides eyeing them with suspicion. Talk about feeling alone and abandoned, how many times has he heard the horrible comments about House N****r, Oreo or Uncle Tom? I have great respect for ouspoken black conservatives, they are brave beyond belief.

Before anyone endorses Ken Blackwell - you may want to read this article where Blackwell defends Obama against critics who suggested Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s book.

http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/kblackwell/2009/07/06/dreams-or-nightmares-from-obamas-father/#idc-container

Even though Ayers admitted that he wrote it.

Plus, Blackwell is a terrible public speaker - he can hardly speak the English language.

Right now Sarah is a good potential presidential candidate. Why tie her down as an RNC chairman?

I support Fred for RNC chairman.

Dear Mr.Steele,
Please consider this an opportunity for you to advance
yourself, your pathetic leadership attempts are only
going to waste here. Certainly there are suitable
positions available in many municipal animal shelters.
Signed, The Management.
