WAKE UP, PEOPLE! We don't need Newt. He is part of why we are where we are. Sheesh.

Newt would be ideal to lead the RNC.

We have got to get back to the operational requirements and benefits of day-to-day conservatism, and away from big government social and moral diktat.

Why is Newt out? Why should we be excited about Steele?

I say put Steele in...the only problem is that most Americans won't know about this since the MSM will not report on it. It's up to us to get it out there.

Newt needs to step aside. I watched both of them during the campaign and while Newt often has smart things to say I think he is damaged goods and I think the RNC needs a new face. Steele has a good demeanor and deals well with the opposition on TV.

The selection for this job is extremely important. Before naming the person we need to set out what we want. For instance, we want and need:

1. one who is a proven leader.
2. able to organizes professionals and volunteers into motivated campaigners, people who work with a passion for conservatism.
3. a record of training and supervising an army of effective fund raisers.
4. able to expound the conservative cause without looking over the shoulder, no PC, speak the truth loud and clear. No weaseling around and parching of words.

In other words, the best leader in the country must step forward. The record of experience in all categories is vitally important

If Steele is that man, than so be it. If not - not.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it!!

A onetime former one term lieutenant governor of smallish beltway state who happens to be black

hmmmm, if he were white who here would even know his name, the GOP and many here just can't get enough of the Color Game can they?

let me guess, the media and blacks will just adore how we have a black guy at RNC now...lol

Steele is pretty conservative and pro-life but if he weren't black he'd be lost in the white haze of second and third tier

we are only marginally different from what we oppose

I would prefer Newt.
Michael Steel is a little too loaw-key for the job.
He’ll be a 100000000% improvement on Mike Duncan, but a soggy towel would be an improvement over Duncan.

I hope Newt runs for president in 2012.
Even if he doesn’t get the nomination, he would raise the bar and make the GOP race about ideas and the future.

I don't care whether it is Steele or Newt, both fine men, respectable, intelligent.

The only requirement I have for anyone in the RNC or Republican Party, is that they never, ever, EVER!, say anything at all about “reaching across the aisle”, or “hands across the table”, or “truly bipartisan in nature”, or any other such idiotic meaningless crap.

Stand for your principles. Fight for your principles. And above all realize that compromising your principles in an effort to appease the Godless, valueless, liberal Democrats is NOT victory, and it is NOT an acceptable outcome.

After hearing Newt speak positively about Obama on Sean Hannity’s radio show today there’s no way I’d want him as RNC Chairman. He’s gone RINO bigtime.

What about FReeper reports that Steele is a gun grabber?

Example...

Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?

STEELE: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill.But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.

This is a SERIOUS problem for me.
