The RNC is Dying
Steele Threatens to Quit if RNC Undermines Funding Authority
Meh, whatever. The RNC no longer represents me, they’re too busy trying to placate the loons on the left.
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele told FOX News that part of his job is to “manage the money” and suggested that if committee members strip him of that authority he’ll step aside.
“They can contemplate all they want to, but the reality is if they want a figurehead chairman you can have a figurehead chairman, but it won’t be Michael Steele,” he said.
Steele aides insist the chairman was not threatening to quit, but merely to fight over retaining his authority. But his comments reflect the persistent tension within the Republican National Committee over his chairmanship.
On Wednesday, RNC state chairmen will vote on the funding issue, among others — such as whether to label the Democratic Party “Socialist.”
Okay – I’ll bet they can’t even agree on that.
From Hot Air:
The second important step for Republicans is highlighting the fantastic corruption of the Democrat party. This obviously needs to be accompanied by a rigorous cleaning up of their own act, but at least the electoral beatings they took over the last two years have given them a head start. Polls tell us people are increasingly nervous about the titanic deficits and radical expansions of government power under Obama. They need to be reminded how regularly the party that has asserted all this power abuses it. Part of the case for a saner, more limited government must include pointing out the inevitable theft and influence peddling that accompanies the total state. Most people look at the government and see only the President. Steele and his aides should make sure every American knows about Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Dianne Feinstein, Charles Rangel, and Maxine Waters. Handing over control of vast funds and private industries to the government is foolish; handing that control to a gang of criminals is idiotic. Part of the case against socialism is that it breeds this kind of criminality. The honesty of a government decreases as its size increases. People like Rangel and Murtha have too much influence to sell, and too many buyers eagerly lined up. Obama’s statist agenda will triple their inventory.
More of the obvious. What good will all this do, when the majority of Democrats want more government and more from the government? They don’t care about corruption, they voted a Chicago politician for President remember?
We do need new parties in America, and yes it’ll be messy, but the RNC isn’t the party of conservatism any longer.
