Michael Steele it’s time for you to go. You’re 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 Obama’s 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 don’t get it.
Your remarks about Rush Limbaugh being an entertainer who is “incendiary” and at times “ugly” prove you don’t understand grassroots conservatism. I can’t 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.
I’m 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. I’ll send your envelops back with a note giving you a piece of my mind, but nothing else. I won’t 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.

A lot of us.
If they weren't then, they certainly are now.
To speak of being offended is to label ones self a troll or a liberal wannabee.
it is a set up to create a poisn pill. The RINOS of the RNC don’t want republicans in the republican party.
(on top of conservatives)
IF I’m wrong about his stances please tell me so i can make a proper decision regarding Steele
I just did but your not listning. You still sound like a liberal airhead
RNC Mini-Me Obama. Anyone but a real conservative.
The GOP/RNC are big government/big business/big finance elitists that are, frankly, annoyed by pipsqueek conservatives who are only good for political cannon fodder and doing the dirty work of harassing their ‘colleagues across the isle’.
You are joking, right?
Are you equally “offended” at his response to the GOP being like NAZI’s or maybe his GOP “hip hop makeover” or maybe his interview with Curtis Sliwa?
LOL Apparently you don't hang around here much.
Michael Steele was not elected solely because of the color of his skin, period. Nor is Michael Steele an incapable person outside of the color of his skin. To suggest otherwise demeans him and it demeans those who voted for him because they believed in him. Many thought he was pro-life and conservative. That he now demonstrates he may likely be another RINO and has therefore betrayed conservatives is the issue.
“I think the one good thing about Obama’s presidency is that is should logically terminate all official affirmative action policies. But it won’t...”
Oh, so like the author of this piece, you agree that affirmative action is not necessary?
Could it be that he just recognized it sooner than you did?
Race relations in this country have suffered a severe setback because of these policies, IMHO
Who thought it was such a great idea to right one wrong by imposing another wrong?
Now you're starting to get it.
Steele had a chance in the subject interview to respond to specific points about Rush’s speech, but chose to demean Rush himself and his profession; and distance himself from the message. Obviously a Conservative light and Steele lost my confidence.
When was that? The Coolidge/Reagan anomalies?
lol Good one!!!
LLS
Steele is proof that the RNC still does not get it.
After last night, when I said that Mike should resign... I decided to give him a second chance. I think he was wrong, but maybe he thought the question was misworded.
Yeah, a world to pick out of and we get a dullard who doesn’t have command of language, thought or the political environment he’s operating in.
