Kathleen McKinley, who also blogs at the Houston Chronicle as TexasSparkle, says it's time for Michael Steele to go:
The buck stops with him. He wasn't aware? Well, he should have been. The staffer involved has been fired and the money will be returned. But for Steele to allow this is inexcusable. The other expenses are troubling as well. People in Washington seem to think that they are entitled to live large on other people's money. God, we are all just sick of it.While we were early supporters of Chairman Steele, we're frankly tired of making excuses for him. The RNC needs a chairman who only only makes news when bringing in gobs of donor money, helping deserving candidates get elected and taking the battle to the Democrats. Actually, we're more troubled by his high-roller expense account than we are over the stupid nightclub thing, embarrassing as it may be.

I've been a supporter of Steele from the beginning. He's had some problems and many have wanted him to step down for a while. I disagreed. But now, I think I may have been wrong about that. It's time for him to go.
Who should replace him? Sarah Palin.
But we can't say that we agree that Gov. Palin should replace Steele, unless she really wanted the job. But we seriously doubt that she would want it, as it seems to be out of phase with what she's doing now. Her multi-year contract with Fox News would probably preclude it.
We think Mitt Romney would be an ideal candidate for the position. It's basically a fundraising job, and he's proved that he can get people to donate loads of cash to political causes. Besides RomneyCare wouldn't be an impediment to him in the role of RNC Chairman, but in his persona as a GOP presidential candidate, it hangs around his neck like an albatross.

It's time for Michael Steele to go! His actions have been an embarrassment to the GOP. Not that any of the current Congressional Members of the GOP have anything to hold their heads up about. The sad reality is that we need to clean house, no pun intended, because most of the Republican Members in Congress have been part of the problem. They do not seem to understand that when America said "NO to Obamacare", they thought that what we said was, "Go ahead Boys - You come up with a compromise solution." WRONG!!! America said NO as in No New Healthcare Plan. These guttless wonders suffer from the same sickness as the Democrats. And that is that they think that they know what's Best for US. You may not agree but I think that we need to get rid of every Republican in Congress who is not a True Conservative. Ronald Reagan knew what America needed. And that is not what we have in Congress today. So it's time to Vote out the Dead Wood and elect people who know how to say NO! The National Socialists that became the Third Reich believed that they knew what was best for Germany. They moved to control every part of the people's lives. So what started out as National Socialism turned into Totalitarian Control. Obama and the Democrats are playing Scorched Earth with America - They are going to force their vision of America on to us. We like the Germans will not have any choice if we let them go unchecked. Elect People who will Stop Them! Robert Costa of Fairfax, VA.
