On Election Night in November, Steele attended Virginia Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell's victory party. Steele kept a private plane waiting just in case Chris Christie won New Jersey's governorship. When Christie pulled ahead of his Democratic rival, Steele flew to the Garden State for the photo opportunity. He arrived too late to appear on stage, however.
Steele's detractors also complain about the lavish [Wolfgang Puck] Christmas party that the RNC held for its employees at the expensive Newseum in downtown Washington.
Way past time to fire this bum.
I like Micheal Steele......I just don’t give to the party for the most part...I donate to the candidate...
She'll know what to do with it.
The RNC thinks it's job is to elect "moderate" RINOs.
S.C.R.E.W. that.
Conservatives don’t want to give money to the RNC to support candidates like Dede Scozzafava
Skip the RNC, back good conservative candidates directly or through your local and state GOP party. Get good conservative candidates by backing them early, before they have to run in the primary or general election, to be sure they have a chance at the polls. Backing means money or work as wishes don’t count when ballots are counted.
Meaning that the officials elected without their assistance will not be beholden to them. Instead, they will owe their allegiance to the <gasp!> unwashed proletarians of the Tea Parties!
Cry me a river. <snort!>
“trying to oust him would cause the party more pain than it’s worth.”
Translation: Cornered rinos like Scuzzyfava (NY23) and Gilcrest (MD1) will turn on the GOP and start supporting dems once they are defeated.
We all know why they are scared, its because he’s black and the msm will have a field day. Appoint Ken Blackwell to replace him then!!!
When I can rely on the RNC to support conservative, Reagan Republicans, I will reconsider sending my $$ to the RNC. In the meantime, I will contribute directly to the conservative candidate(s) of my choosing.
I can’t name a single person who has donated to the RNC since the 08 election. Not one.
Does the RNC keep track of how much money is donated to individual candidates?
That, I believe, is where the money is going.
...at least, I HOPE that’s where it’s going!
Outspoken? I don't think he says enough of the the right stuff.
Steele is the perfect example of what happens when you allow racial considerations to come into play in deciding on executive—or any other, for that matter—appointments.
You’d think that Republicans would know this.
Conservatives supporting Conservatives bump!
Steele was placed in his position as a “me too” by the Rockefeller Republicans. They have no originality and still do not see their choice of Steele for the joke it is. They are dismayed that us “little people” get it.
I think more people are donating directly to conservative candidates and bypassing the liberal RNC.
- George Washington
We need him back.
LOL! RNC cash on hand reflects Michael Steele’s approval rating. “TALK TO THE HAND”, RNC! Stop sending me paper direct mail, I dump it.
Compare RNC funds and trends to Sarah’s PAC
Congressman Joe “YOU LIE” Wilson collected a million from open donations in a couple of days - Hoffman in NY and Brown in Mass also benefitted from direct contributions. conservative candidates don’t need money or “approval” from the RNC, just let us know who they are and where they are. Just waiting to know who to send money to in PA to replace the late congressman Murtha.
I believe Marco Rubio is having a MONEY BOMB 2morrow (Feb 10). Jim DeMint is pushing it. I recommend supporting Rubio directly. Nothing like showing the RNC that there’s plenty of money available, just not for RINOs.
I’m planning to pony up $209.12 - that’s my policy, always add 9.12 to the end just to make the point. That would be my second recommendation to “y’all” - add $9.12 to any contribution.
Hey strategerists, it's not Steele's managmenet style that's the problem. McCain, Snowe, formerly Specter, Graham just to name a very few. Don't you guys read the comments in the envelopes you send out? You know, the ones asking for money but are returned without any?
LLS
If they are not willing or able to fight the "Progressives" in an all-out war, (except for the last few months) they should all resign and allow fresh blood to try.
