Resignations at the RNC (Steele cleans house)

A Republican source says newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has requested the resignations of the entire RNC staff and signaled a dramatic turnover at the party organization.

Some aides may be retained, though Republicans are under the impression that Steele will lead a large-scale changeover in the institution, which has about 100 staffers. Obama's new team at the Democratic National Committee also requested mass resignations.

Many, including communications staffers, have been told their last day is Feb. 15.

Well Steele is getting off on the right foot.

Please post the address where we freepers can apply for jobs with the RNC.

One has to wonder if it isn’t the conservatives being ousted by Steele.

Why would you think that? First everyone says the RNC is all RINOs. Then when Steele cleans house, he’s getting rid of conservatives? Man, these guys can’t win.

I am pretty much fed up with the Republican party. I had decided to just sit out the last election until McCain picked Palin.

From what I have heard of Steele he is more of the same.

I bet all the conservatives will be purged

If you are not pro- gun control, pro-gay, pro-liberal, you need not apply

Steele was the last thing the GOP needed

Well, maybe because Steele thinks we should reach out to the queers and abortionists...

Good news! Everyone who has worked at the RNC in the last four years should be shown the door. Change the culture.

Why would they care who is working for the Republicans?

Don’t forget the new pro-affirmative action wing of the Republican party.

Considering that the GOP got its rear end handed to it in the past 2 elections, I think a house cleaning is long overdue.

“signaled a dramatic turnover at the party organization”

This sounds pretty good.

The problem is the same ones who got us into this mess are the ones doing the house cleaning.
