Video: RNC Chair Says He's Open To Punishing GOP Defectors (Snowe, Collins, Specter)

Cavuto ^ | 2/23/09 | Michael Steele

[careyb]

Talking with Cavuto.

[Oldpuppymax]

Of course by “punishing” he undoubtedly means strongly worded letters of moderate disapproval. By golly, that’ll learn ‘em.

[pugmama]

The RNC has been calling every day. They finally got me at 9 PM.
I said the same thing as you did. RNC gets no money from me until they stop funding these 3 traitors.
The caller tried to convince me, but finally agreed with me that Steele needs to stand up to these 3.
He said he was hearing this a lot-people are quite riled up.

[longtermmemmory]

fluff.

this is utter BS. Steele is just doing the “blow off” we will see as if to children.

Steele better have follow through to be credible.

[longtermmemmory]

Nelson is going against RINO Crist.

[Salvation]

Good news bump, but will it happen?

[lormand]

I forgot about THAT Nelson. I guess there are two Nelson’s that need to be “wack-a-mole”d. Nelson of Nebraska, and Nelson of Florida...both RATs..

[mnsmalltown]

I wrote to Steele and told him that I would send my money directly to the conservative who runs against each of these three in their future races, not to the GOP. I don’t want to give the GOP money just to find out that the state throws their support behind one of these three.

[dools007]

You’re dreaming. Steele is a RINO through and through. He’s just telling you what you want to hear. Then, when it comes time to put up another Pubbie for pres. he’ll serve up another RINO. Then he’ll extort your vote—again—by telling you to vote for the pubbie to keep the demrat candidate out of office.

Been there done that. I will not vote Pubbie unless GOP runs a conservative candidate.

Since, the GOP will not do that because it has effectively been coopted by demrat party, I’m fairly certain I will not be voting Republican ever again.

[chuckles]

They must be in bad shape because they were calling 4-5 times EVERY day. I finally answered just to stop the phone from ringing. It was convenient that I got tired of the ringing about the same time the traitors were showing their true colors.

I just wanted to make the point that there would be no more money for their projects till they took care of the situation. I think they even cut funds for a primary challenger for Specter last go round. They would get more money putting up the challenger and making sure they drowned him in money. If it's business as usual, I'm taking my business elsewhere. I don't have to finance the destruction of America. I can support my congressman and two senators without sending money to Timbuktu to cut my own throat. With a little study, we could probably find our money going to baby killers, gun grabbers, tax raisers, global warming, non-oil drillers in the Northeast or Northwest.
