Good riddance.

Here’s a helpful career tip: if you can’t raise money and constantly piss off the base, RNC Chair may not be the right job for you.
It will be Reince Priebus.
I’ve looked through the list of some of our participants preferences and I wonder if anyuone efver gave any thought to Fred Thompson heading up the RNC...
I figure he needs to get in therequick to facilitate and reinforce another November 2010 performance from the Republican party...Get the Rino’s well identified and unsupported, and get some real people in there to complete the job...
See ya and don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split ya. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Oh good riddance!
Now if only the rest of the RINO’s in the party would take the hint and leave too.
Good riddance. Now maybe we can get someone who isn’t a RINO. Hopefully we’ll get someone better, not worse.
Fair Thee Well! (Oh, and, DO let the door hit you on the way out)
Bunch of idiots!
Good riddance.
Yes, we did. Michael Steele was a huge disappointment; too weak as a spokesman for the party, not a Tea Party backer in any sense and definitely not the conservative fighter the office needs. The question now is who will replace Steele? Like many other conservatives, I hope it's not an 'establishment' Republican but I expect it will be. This is just one of the fights Tea Party activists will have to go through if we want to re-gain control of the GOP. Otherwise, we'll be getting the same old RINO candidates and the opportunity for Sarah Palin to secure the 2012 presidential nomination will be diminished. Even if you don't want Palin (I do), having the RNC headed by an establishment-friendly Chairman will make getting any conservative the 2012 presidential nomination an uphill fight, at best and an impossibility, at worst.
I firmly believe the RNC establishment honchos would much rather lose to Obama or another Democrat than lose their grip on the levers of power within the Republican party. The Christine O'Donnell debacle, fueled by the leftmedia, to be sure, but aided by arrogant sneering at O'Donnell from the Republican establishment that ended up delighting the left and helping her opponent, the 'bearded Marxist' to defeat Christine O'Donnell. This rankled a lot of conservatives (Karl Rove can go to you-know-where) and demonstrated that Tea Party activists and sympathizers have few friends at the RNC.
That has to change. This is an opportunity to push for that change but I fear it won't happen. We may get a Chairman that talks the (conservative) talk but I'm concerned that whomever is elected to the position - assuming that Steele is leaving - won't walk the conservative walk and we'll end up with another weak RINO-lover who won't fully support dedicated conservative candidates that want to run on the Republican ticket in their state. That will be a problem. It can be overcome - but it's still a problem when you have the party hierarchy giving lukewarm support or worse, making snarky comments on TV news shows about a particular Republican candidate that happens to be a conservative, then blaming the candidate for losing, as happened with O'Donnell. That is not a blueprint for electoral victory but with the country in such an Obama-orchestrated mess and millions of Americans pissed off at Washington and 'politics-as-usual', even the recalcitrant RNC may just have to defer to the people, for a change. Gee, what a concept.
