DeMint,Pence, Palin, and others) and we shouldn’t confuse that with Party leadership.
You need to go back and re-take your history lesson.
Pence is part of the house leadership team. He is not top dog, unfortunately.
RNC CHAIRMAN, MICHAEL STEELE, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER, BONEHEAD BOHNIOR, SENATE MINORITY LEADER, MITCH MCCONNELL.
Although, I really like Demint and Palin, they have no say in GOP leadership decisions. I wish they did.
I didn’t assume they have any role in decisions but they have far more influence than Mitch McConnel or Steele. I have been impressed with John Boehner. He did lead the charge against Cap and Trade and he has kept the House solidly against Obamacare. McConnel on the otherhand has not been nearly as good in keeping his folks in the Senate in line. As for Michael Steele he has become irrelevant. I had lots of hope for him but he caught a bad case of liberal interruptus self flatgellatus.
We have a huge number of real conservatives in the House and Senate. The problem is that we still have a number who are afraid of their own shadows. We have our own leaders and they aren’t exactly the official ones.
