Did he say that he and Obama are being judged by higher standards because of race? The least he could have done is spin this in a way that says democrats are attacking him due to race. We dont need him attacking republicans over race, democrats know how to do that on their own.

Yes, we all would like Steele to go, but I don’t want him run out by State Media over a stupid expense report reimbursement.

Between July 2009 and February 2010, the GOP raised $63 million but spent $78 million, leaving the party without a solid cushion heading into the 2010 contests

I've said more than once... if Michael Steele were a Democrat plant determined to damage the GOP what would he do differently? That was before I read this line. Forget the speculation... HIS JOB IS TO SINK THE GOP!!

State Media, if successful in getting Steele to quit, will turn around can call Republicans & Conservatives racist, further distracing from what the Obamah Regime is doing.

Thank you, Mona.

Mr. Steele: for the good of the party, quietly transition out of your position as Chairman and go on to something that is a better fit for your skills.

Memo to RNC: Start the process now of building an escape hatch for the party into the Chairman’s position. There has to be a way to quickly move people out if it turns out they are not right for the job or not right for the job at this time.

I agree with you somewhat. But this alone is sufficient for TPTB to say, sorry, Michael, we need a better manager and we need it quickly:

Between July 2009 and February 2010, the GOP raised $63 million but spent $78 million, leaving the party without a solid cushion heading into the 2010 contests

Another bungling republican who can engineer nothing other than defeat...

Why am I not surprised?

Steele is the typical black token. He has shown his true color and refuses to LEAVE his position. When, oh WHEN, will the GOP throw him out on his black arse? The ONLY reason he is in that position is because he is BLACK. Shouldn’t we have a person heading the GOP that has CONSERVATIVE VALUES, HUMBLE and of GOOD CHARACTER? Steele LACKS ALL OF THAT, but OH, “he’s BLACK”.

Newt was on the Today show and defended Steele. Newt has forgotten what the rest of us know. Steele is just like the RINOs (Snow, Graham, et al).

Steele is just like OBAMA!

Will he erect styrofoam pillars to the entrance of his lavish office next?

Get RID OF THE BLACK GUY! If you MUST have a BLACK person head the GOP, select Thomas Sowell, a MAN of CHARCTER despite his color. Sowell is a man of steel. I could care less about Sowell's SKIN COLOR. Sowell has the CHARACTER and VALUES I relate to.

If you think Steele resigning will get him out of the headlines. You are crazy. As soon as he resigns you’ll see headlines asking if his race played a roll in his being forced to resign. The republican party will be labeled a racist party who hates black people.

The left calls certain people and groups on the right racists. They can’t really call the whole party a racist party with a black man as chairman. But as soon as he’s gone they will label the whole party an all white party who hates black people.

The fact is Conservatives are not happy with RNC and are not donating to it, rather Conservatives are supporting individual Conservatives over entrenched Republican Washington insiders.

I can't tell you how many RNC solicitation letters I've returned in their prepay envelopes with a nasty note.

The RNC should be bitch-slapping Lyndsey Graham, taking a strong stand against Amnesty and Cap & Tax.

An upset in AZ would send a strong message to the RNC.

“Newt was on the Today show and defended Steele. Newt has forgotten what the rest of us know. Steele is just like the RINOs (Snow, Graham, et al).”

Newt appears to be getting soft in the head OR he feels compelled to back Steele because of his SKIN COLOR. These stupid people REALLY want to believe that because Steele is BLACK that will attract other BLACKS to the GOP and even the dialogue between half BLACK Obama and racism cries will be defused. It’s totally ridiculous. SKIN COLOR has nothing to do with it when you NEED a real leader with CHARACTER. Steele LACKS good character - even if he is BLACK.

So the lesson of all this seems to be . . . don’t hire black people because there will be no end to the Left’s ability to mess you up with bogus racial complcations.

Thanks, Lefties!

“This is going to sound weird,” he explained, but “it’s too male for me.” Ye gods and little fishes. Could he please do us all a favor and RESIGN?
