Beleaguered Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele issued a challenge to his critics this week: "I've had enough of it,†he said on ABC News Radio. “If you don't want me in the job, fire me. But until then, shut up. Get with the program or get out of the way."
Would that someone in the party had the guts to take Steele up on his offer and fire him.

Just in the past month, he’s drawn fire for giving paid speeches, not calling major donors, writing a book that criticizes the GOP, not alerting members of Congress about the book, promoting the book and, worst of all, saying in a national television interview that his party couldn’t re-take the House this fall

Just when things seem to be going good................. :thatsright:

Sadly, who would replace him?

Steele has a tough job, but the problem is compounded by the fact he is basically a fiscal Conservative (Only) and it seems like he just doesn't get the Libertarian and Social Conservative strains that make up such a heavy part of the base, especially out here in the heartland. We need someone who at least understands and considers all three flavors of Conservative without overcommitting personally to any one of them, and he isn't proving to be the man for that season.

I'd put Tom Tancredo in there in a heart beat; but alas, the party is run by the RINOs - like Steele - so Tancredo would never even see a nomination.

He was pretty solid back in the day.
Yeah, he kinda became RINO-ish but my biggest complaint is he just became...bizarre. His recent crack about the GOP not being ready to gover is like, "WTF!"

Sorry, Bunny, but in a way he's right. The GOP is too scared to hit back, too meek to take the reins and govern in a CONSERVATIVE manner--we've seen this by the big-spending they've done over the past dozen years and the way they've tried to "out-Democrat" the Democrats.

He gets quite passionate about abortion. I've heard him um-pteem times saying the GOP is the party of life.

All fine and dandy, sir. But how does he square what he "says" with his pouring money into, oh, those like Dede Scuzzyfava - a determined "Pro-Choice" advocate?

RINOs like Steele need to be shown the door. If they want to out-progressive the moonbat Dim'Rats, they should do it from within the ranks of the Dim'rat party. At least demonstrate the courage of their "convictions".

My old Pet Rock could do a better job than Steele has.

Hi,
I don't know if you saw Steele on Chris Wallace show on Fox this afternoon but he really frustrated me. They talked about the racial remarks and Steele clobbered the head of the DNC. Then, Steele got the hot seat questions and, as far as I am concerned, really missed the point. I sent him the following email.
I am not sold on the fact Steele gets it either.

Hi,
First of all congratulations on the job you did regarding the racial issue on Chris Wallace show today. You thumped them good and are correct.
At the same time you also made the remark "They haven't passed health care."
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AS AN ALTERNATIVE.
Dick Morris wrote a column recently indicating the democrats have no idea how angry the voters are because they are not listened to.
PLEASE MAKE THE POINT THAT THEY PASSED THE TARP BILL DESPITE 70% PUBLIC DISAPPROVAL
PLEASE MAKE THE POINT THAT THEY MAY HAVE A HEALTH CARE BILL, BUT HAD TO SPEND BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO BRIBE DEMOCRAT SENATORS TO VOTE FOR IT......AND THE FACT THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC OPPOSES IS.
YOUR GREATEST SELLING POINT IS ANYTHING THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE CALLING ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE DONE WITH THE DISAPPROVAL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THAT IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
That to me is why people should come back to the Republican party, you need to stress the fact that you will listen to those who hire you and vote accordingly, not special interest groups.
regards,

Ever since Steele endorsed that pro-abortion RINO Scazzafava (SP?) in NY's 23rd Congressional District last year he's been persona non grata to me.

If conservatives have any hope of taking back the Repub party, Steele has to go! We need someone with enough balls to take on the RINOS and the DINOS! Steele has his in a lock box. I wonder if Hilary has his FBI file?
