Weakness and Avarice

When Michael Steele was running for the US Senate in Maryland, I supported him vigorously over ultra-liberal Ben Cardin who sadly, ultimately won the seat for the Democrat Party. "Once a loser", may have crossed some GOP minds but that did not stop the moribund party from naming Steele the national party chair. His performance in the position has been abysmal, reflecting to the right what Obama has reflected to the leftist kooks who comprise the non-homosexual, non-minority part of his base. Steele, who should be out freely and as often as possible, promoting the interests of the party, has been enriching himself with speaking and appearance fees. Today was the last straw for me. Rather than saying with vigor and conviction, that the Republicans will retake Congress in the coming 2010 elections and then doing everything to make it so, Steele said he doubts the GOP can take back Congress in this cycle. He is not even certain that the GOP is ready to lead. Goodbye Mr. Chairman- it is long past time that the GOP found an optimist and a winner to fill that position.
