I don’t know what Steele is accused to have “done wrong.” I only hope his replacement is effective.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2649517/posts ~ never forget, Preibus’ lawfirm says ObamaKKKare is Constitutional. This is the very candidate for RNC chair who has the biggest potential to be the biggest source of trouble, betrayal and EXPENSE. You really don’t want this porker speaking for us in any capacity. Keep him in Wisconsin. We don’t need CINO either.

Wrong? No, Steele didn't do anything remarkably wrong, but he did figure out what he had to do to make sure Republicans won by an historically huge margin all across the country.

The problem here is that we have a fairly large wedge in the party who DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WIN and when it happens they don't like it.

Quite possibly we'd be ahead by leaving the job vacant rather than pick up any of the remaining candidates.

Too late. The clamoring masses already called for Steele’s head and the guillotine has fallen.

This truly a Blessed Day for the Republican Party and for America!

Are you serious? Did you watch the debate?

I hope you're right, but I think this is an incredibly bad day for the GOP. I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, though.

Cino would have been much worse. Preibus is a blank slate.

Also the Obamacare comments came from another counselor, John Barlament -- neither of whom are titular partners (albeit they may be firm partners) at Michael Best & Friedrich.

Haven't you ever worked with idiots?

This has to be good. Cino was backed by both Steele and by Boehner, so it’s hard to see too dark of a cloud here.

Only those who are TOTALLY IGNANT imagine that a beer joint with a lesbian theme is necessarily identical to a "strip club".

You do know it was a LESBIAN place, not exactly where the good ol'boys go to get c)c), right?

The effort was to see if Republicans could raise campaign money from rich Beverly Hills and Hollywood lesbians disaffected from the Democrat party.

Money is fungible (that doesn't mean it's moldy, right ~hope I have you with me so far) which means WE DON'T CARE WHO IT COMES FROM as long as it can be spent.

You people who bow down to the Washington Post disgust me.

Preibus isn’t getting the message. His kind aren’t wanted at the top. He has too many friends and law partners who favor ObamaKKKare. He simply cannot be trusted on this issue.

I’m betting on the NBC Nightly News.

Remember, being involved in a winning campaign doesn’t count with the crowd who don’t like Steele. They don’t know how to win anyway, and when they do win they don’t know what to do with it. We had that problem with the Bushbots ~ let the Democrats run over them.

Pray he can convince the rinos to embrace the tea party idea and convert them to action like he did in Wisconsin. Congratulations, it’s going to be a hard slog.

Oh Steele already played that card last year. Confronted with people who were complaining about his leftist leanings, he attributed it to racism.

I had already decided he had to go, but that was icing on the cake to say the least.

The Tea Party types just have to fight hard from now on forever.

(For instance, maybe they ought to kick the shins of the democrat or RINO they sit next to at the SOTU... ;0)

I am serious and I didn’t watch the debate.

Steele was and is an unmitigated Disaster! and a Supreme Egotist! along with being a leftest RINO!
I don’t believe We need a highly qualified Debateras Chairman, but rather a Hardworking Leader who stays behind the scenes and isn’’t aThree Ring Circus himself as Steele was/is......Many, like me, refused to contribute or work in the ways we had under Gillespie and others...It was infuriating seeing Steele pad the Headquarters with his family and Offspring and acting like the Presidential candidate he was not...... That said, I hope for Our Country’s Sake and Our Party’s that I am right!...;-)
