Steele is a RINO snake-in-the-grass, NOT to be trusted by Conservatives.
I refer to it as the A$$-Clown RNC for a reason. That's why you see Republicans at the grass-roots taking matters into their own hands.
Steele has fired a lot of the hangers-on and Colonel Blimps who made our party corrupt and tone deaf. Give him a chance to turn the ship around.

This is great- the RNC is feeling left out of all the tea party hoopla and street level activism! Good. Where was their support over the last eight years of our frustration with big government?
They are getting what they deserve, like that SC Congressman who had the nerve to show up at a tea party and try to sell the ‘Republicans good/ Democrats evil’ line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QsY2r7HbTM
The worst thing that can happen for conservatives is that the RNC gets involved in our movement. Politicians need to stay the hell away from us.
If the goal of the TEA Parties is just to recruit voters for the Republicans in 2010 then they are a waste of time. By 2010 the Democrats will have done an enormous amount of damage to our republic. I don't believe that the Republicans have the cajones to reverse what the Democrats will have done by then even if they win the House of Representatives back. Even if they grew a pair, the Senate will still be in the clutches of the socialist so any cleanup will still be limited. So the goal of the TEA Parties needs to be something that does not depend on the Republican Party at all.
I went to a TEA Party to protest the Federal out-of-control spending and violation of the Tenth Amendment by primarily Democrats but some Republicans also.
Do you remember Ronald Reagan’s famous quip, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the party left me.”?
Reagan stayed true to his CORE PRINCIPLES.
That is what this is all about, staying true to your CORE PRINCIPLES.
The RINOs who infest the GOP did NOT STAY TRUE TO THEIR CORE PRINCIPLES. Do not compromise what you believe in.

I’m still waiting to see my “gambling benefit”. It was supposed to reduce property taxes. Where’s my money?
I’ve no great love for Mr. Steele, personally. Likewise, other so-called “moderates.” It’s not that I have any particular animus, either. I just feel that their proper place is, at best, on the sidelines, and that conservatives, only, should be directing the party. It isn’t possible for someone to convince me that, in light of the last two elections, we should become more like the democrats to retrieve lost power. Wait, take back one small amount of that last remark. We could certainly stand to be more organized, as well as more generally pointed in the direction we’d most like to travel. Other than that, not only no, but Hell no. I do agree with you about the misuse of Governor Palin. You would think that the RNC would recognize star power, whether they want to see it or not, when they run across it. I guess not. But the RNC will not obtain my money again without running a candidate I truly support, on a platform that I feel is good for the country. I wanted to like Senator McCain. Still feel dirty from that, though. I voted for Governor Palin, not McCain. And my wife, who did not vote EVER, did likewise. That isn’t necessarily saying we’d support her without knowing what the platform would be, just that we both felt much more comfortable with someone being themselves, not so much “positioned.”
I want a truly conservative party, not globalist/liberal-lite.
