May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Begone Michael Steele

I cautiously supported Michael Steele to head the Republican National Committee at the time he ran, but the guy has been a disaster.

He allowed, right from the beginning, Jurassic Press types to attack conservatives, agreeing with Leftist Media Knuckleheads that they were a problem for the Republican Party. He kinda sorta stiffened his spine in following attacks, after the Party core got after him.

Then recently there was the fiasco of a couple thousand bucks of Party (and party) money spent at a strip club in LA. Sensibly a Republican National Committee staff member was fired and RNC chief of staff Ken McKay resigned. Good riddance. This should not have happened at all. When is the alleged leadership of the Republican Party, and Republican politicians, going to get it through their thick skulls that nothing less that Puritan behavior is acceptable. Dems don't purport to have any values other the spending OPM (other people's money), and are allowed to have affairs, go to strip clubs and anything else they want.

From the "Washington Post": "The RNC had more than $22 million on hand when he arrived last year, but is down to less than $10 million, despite raising a record $96 million during that time, records show." Steele raised $10 million less last year than the RNC did in 2005, and has spent $10 million more, including significantly more on private planes, limousines, catering and flowers.

Plus, in an interview, Steele was asked if he was held to a higher standard because he was Black, and he answered yes. I hate it when anybody plays the race card for any reason, and this reason is to cover up his own failures as an alleged leader. The Republican core wants someone that smacks down the Jurassic Press, embarrasses Liberals, makes sure no contributed money is wasted on stupid stuff, or on self, and fills the coffers for upcoming elections. Steele has not done any of these things.

Steele must go, and quickly.
