Conservatives Urging Steele To Target Stimulus

Washington Times:

Conservatives on the 168-member Republican National Committee are pressing a reluctant RNC Chairman Michael S. Steele to call a party meeting that would focus criticism on President Obama's stimulus package and its backers -- including three Republican senators who voted for it.

In a conference call Wednesday with Ken McKay, Mr. Steele's newly named chief of staff, the conservative critics set a deadline of 5 p.m. Friday for Mr. Steele to agree to a special meeting of the full committee to be held next month.

I keep waiting for Steele to say he thinks slavery was a matter of states rights..

[danonchalant1]

OMG! That sounds so like something HE would say!

[TJCole]

I know, crazy isn't it..?

Ok, the stimulus bill has already passed and the funds are already in play. Jobs have already been created and more will be created or saved as funds are distributed to the states. Exactly what is there to gain from protesting a done deal? Is it like beating your head against a brick wall - you do it because it feels so good when you stop?

RNC = circular firing squad

To a Republican a stimulus is something you take if you're constipated. Of course, they're all constipated.

Didn't steele already attack the stimulus when he called 'bling bling'?

This guy has lost all credibility with all his 'strategic' gaffes!!

[Nyla785]

Yes, Repubs..yo­u go 'target the stimulus' while people lose jobs, homes, healthcare, and hope for the future. Cement your position as 'out of touch with reality.'

Cocky and ignorant and trying very hard to compare himself to the President.­... Michael, you're no Barrack Obama.

Steele represents "the "little" brains" of the GOP
and the craziness that they bring.
Steele couldn't escape a paper-bag
unless hew was given some help-

[scjk67]

too little and too late, the stimulus is starting to work....GO­Pers are turning into real "jokers".

AFTER we see a little increase in our paychecks, AFTER the largest monthly rise in the DOW index in years, they want to complain about the stimulus.

GOPhers.

[mmgbizgirl]

Go right ahead. Can't wait to pull him apart.

Love how they F-up, sit mute while others work to create a solution and then hang out in the nosebleed section b*tching about it.

[albanianmomforobama]

What? Hey rethugs - Simulus is working!
You are being 24/7 comedy!

Dance puppet dance. Go ahead and do the bidding of Rush and his dittoheads. Go ahead and drive the GOP over the cliff into the abyss of being irrelevant. You had the chance to be your own man and help makeover the GOP but you ruined that by groveling and begging for Rush to forgive you.

I can't wait for the Pay-Per-View cage match between Steele and Norm Coleman for the chairman seat. At least that's how I hope it plays out.

How stupid is that. One, the stimulus has passed already. Two, the Dow is currently above 8,000. Three, housing sales are on the rise. Four, unemployment number are on the rise (the stimulus provided for extended benefits, which most republican governors don't want to do); and five, attacking their own party members would mean they put those very seats in jeopardy when their current term expires. How stupid is that. This is a loose / loose situation. I'm really worried that some of these people were in control over the last 8 years and we are now uncovering stupid, ill thought out problems that were made will only grow in number and circumstance.

[InfosolutionWiz]

LOL! VERY STUPID! These are a bunch of crazies driving the GOP Clown Car! When will they learn basic commom sense??

[Greg Petty]

Look it is the man of Steele, nah probably Mickey Mouse
