Steele's responses in the GQ article make me want to scream.
You can’t get rid of Steele,
He’s a negro. That will look like racism even if it is to get rid of a dumbass rino.
I must disagree, Steele has not had a chance to select a staff or fill any of the other posts in the RNC, to fire him now would appear unserious and Amateurish.
If you liked the DNC of the past, you’ll really like the current RNC.
If you like the current DNC, you’ll love Marxism and fascism.
It is good to see black conservatives like Parker and Blackwell strongly criticizing Steele. That type of integrity, that put principles first and rejects identity politics is refreshing and encouraging.
I had hoped Steele was a true conservative who softened his positions a bit, to try to get elected in ultra-liberal Maryland.
However, it has become clear that he is a moderate, and even less conservative than he seemed to be.
He clearly does not support much of the party platform and is therefore the wrong man to promote and defend it. He should resign.
Michael Steele youre an affirmative Action choice who cant cut it. Stop embarrassing us and resign
By Kevin Coach Collins
Michael Steele its time for you to go. Youre an affirmative action failure who never should have been elected to run the RNC and you scare me. There is no evidence to suggest you have any grasp of your mission as RNC Chairman. With the life of our nation at stake, America has no time for you to learn. Nothing about you gives me hope or confidence we can turn our Party around.
I wanted to reserve my decision and give you the benefit of any doubt, yet frankly Mr. Steele your election as the first Black RNC Chair smelled fishy from the beginning.
After Obamas election it seemed a bit too politically correct and looked like panicky affirmative action designed to attract people who will NEVER vote Republican anyway.
My suspicions about you proved well founded.
You just dont get it.
Your remarks about Rush Limbaugh being an entertainer who is incendiary and at times ugly prove you dont understand grassroots conservatism. I cant overlook this shortcoming.
You are the de jure head of the Republican Party, but because of the vacuum your lack of leadership has produced, Rush Limbaugh IS the de facto leader of the Party.
Im sick of a leaderless rudderless RNC giving us Bob Michel type leadership. I want a Chairman who will stand up and fight for conservatism and be able to distinguish friends from enemies.
Because of you I will revert to Whitemailing the RNC. Ill send your envelops back with a note giving you a piece of my mind, but nothing else. I wont contribute another penny to the RNC until you are gone Mr. Steele.
I speak only for myself, but I hope others will join me in this insistence that you leave office before we make any further contributions.
And one more thing Mr. Steele please can this hip hop crap. The hip hop culture will never vote for us and appealing to it only shows how little you understand about how to bring our Party back. Its a waste of our time and scarce money and those people are laughing at you behind your back. Its another embarrassment you have brought to us.
This is like the get the US out of the UN craploa.
Screw Steele and the Rhinopublicans. We have the little zer0. A real live socialist / commie.
We don't need those cheap imitations.
We’ve been sold a lie for a looong while now. We don’t have a two-party system. Once you realize that fact, does it really matter who is Chairman of the RNC?
He’s wanting O’s job in the future....playing both sides of the fence for more votes. Not a conservative...
GET RID OF HIM.....
After his latest gaff last week I sent him a one word E-Mail.
It said “Resign!”
I liked Steele when he was Lt. Gov. of Maryland. He seemed very committed to pro-life, marriage, etc. When he was selected RNC Chair I was glad. He was the only thing that was keeping me in the GOP. I thought his talk about making the party attractive to people who don’t normally associate with the GOP meant that he would try to convince blacks and Hispanics of the correctness of the pro-life cause and the values in the Constitution. I did not think it meant that he would make the Republican party indistinguishable from the Democrats.
But that GQ interview showed me his true stripes.
There is nothing left to keep me. The party has officially left me. So I’m now an Independent. I don’t know if I’ll bother looking for another party.
The RNC Chairman is a FUND RAISER and should decline EVERY request for an interview.
Let the politicians speak to the press and have the RNC Chair do his work from behind a curtain.
Regardless of race, creed or color.
