I think that’s the reason...

Just wondering - who would be a good replacement if Steele did quit? The job of RNC Chair is basically fund-raising.

Ben, those of us that know that you supported Al Franken verbally as well as financially, didn’t see or buy your movie and wish you would stop being ‘on our side’...

We are not fooled.

Who was the idiot who approved the $1900 strip club bill?

He (Steele) didn't. That is the problem. Stein is an empty-headed blowhard, but a blind squirrel gets a nut from time to time.

I was just thinking it strange that a flaming NE moderate RINO would be sniping at Steele. The Contrarian in me says we better keep him then.

No, actually, he had done nothing...except anger the right.

And what exactly would you have him do? I am happy with a do nothing ride along chairman ... Just stay out of the serious stuff.

It’s far easier, far less trouble, to just pick, adopt and support your own candidates than it is to donate to the RNC Scozzafava style candidates. Or Crist even, the RNC preferred Senator.

Yep, I’m always suspicious of “Republicans” who trash Republicans on TV and in print...and somehow never find a bad word for Obama.

Sounds like the “maverick” to me.

i really liked his show, “Win Ben Stein’s Money.” the whole Al Franken support was strange and quite disappointing...

I'm not inclined to take advice from someone who regularly writes checks to the republican party based on what it used to be.

Palin would be the perfect replacement. IMHO, she is not presidential material, but she could do a great job getting out the vote and raising money.

“Now, it is clear just how ill-advised a choice he was. Stories are pouring out of the RNC to the effect that Mr. Steele is demanding the Committee get him a private jet, which is a heck of a big bite. (I don’t have one!) In the meantime, he rents one fairly often.

Mr. Steele is running up fantastic tabs at super-expensive hotels and restaurants, including some near me in Beverly Hills. Just recently it was revealed that the RNC had been billed nearly two thousand bucks for “entertainment” at a West Hollywood strip club called Voyeur. “

Steele is doing the usual Obama lifestyle - only it’s at the expense of the RNC. People don’t want to get rid of him because of his skin color.
