Fred — I was one of the lone conservative voices supporting Steele during his campaign for Chairman. And to dispel the rumor, I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh.

Why don’t you morons go ahead and elect Rush Limbaugh to the RNC chair,so the Democrats can keep the majority forever.

I didn’t really have a dog in the RNC Chair race, but now that Steele is our guy, we need to support him. He’s obviously not perfect, but neither were any of the other candidates. For there to already be rumors of Steele’s ouster circulating is a huge disappointment to me. We need to be coming together, not fighting amongst ourselves. After all, where else will America get the hope for the change we need? Not from the Obama administration.

James – glad to see you writing again.

Katon Dawson was all about hobnobbing at his all white country club until he got called out by reporters and this vote of no confidence is no different. I’d guess he was forging full steam ahead on the ousting of Michael Steele until the news leaked and he had an opportunity to consider the political implications.

The Rush distraction was a political misstep on Steele’s part, but I still think Steele was the best candidate for RNC Chairman. That said, his comments about civil unions were a pretty big disappointment, and not just because I disagree, but because Steele seems to have a tough time distinguishing between his personal values and the values of Republican voters. We shall see.

I think Steele deserves a period in which he can improve upon the margin he won his seat by. We have to recognize that he’s at least acknowledging his mistakes.

Best thing the grassroots can do, is continue to voice our concerns regarding the lack of communication between the RNC and the activists on the field.

I’m giving Dawson the benefit of the doubt, who has proven to be not the most honest guy, on this one. Let him pray he had nothing to do with this rumor.

Too bad it wasn’t Dawson. He’s a moron, and this would have been all we need to pick him off once and for all.
