GOProud: No second term for Michael Steele

Gee, why would the Republicans want to lose the enormous entertainment factor? According to Steele, he has raised the profile of the party and brought the money in; I guess it isn't exactly the profile they were looking for. GOProud has called for the committee to deny Steele a second term. Here is the press release:

GOProud Urges RNC Members to Reject a Second Term for Michael Steele

 

Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of the Board – “For conservatives ,  and anyone else who cares about the future of the Republican Party, this vote should be an easy one – anyone but Michael Steele.”

 

(Washington, D.C.) – Earlier this month, Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele announced he would seek a second term.  Today, Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of the GOProud Board, issued the following statement:

 

“For conservatives, and anyone else who cares about the future of the Republican Party, this vote should be an easy one – anyone but Michael Steele.

 

“Certainly this decision is an easy one for our organization.  In July, we joined with other foreign policy conservatives in calling on Chairman Steele to resign after his reckless and outrageous comments about the war in Afghanistan. 

 

“Michael Steele’s tenure as Chairman can only fairly be characterized as an unmitigated disaster.  Were it not for the hard work of outside groups, who were forced to step in to fill the void left by an ineffective RNC, success at the ballot box in November would never have occurred.

 

“We need an RNC Chair who understands that his or her role is to raise money and build party infrastructure, not to sell books, hire friends and family, and pontificate on policy.”
