Comments on: Steele-ing the RNC http://forthardknox.com/2008/11/14/steele-ing-the-rnc/ Politically-Conservative Web 2.0 Activists Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:06:06 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: randy spears http://forthardknox.com/2008/11/14/steele-ing-the-rnc/comment-page-1/#comment-9854 randy spears Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:53:36 +0000 http://forthardknox.com/?p=7024#comment-9854 What has GOPAC accomplished since Michael Steele has taken over as chairman. When one looks at the website it looks like Steele Inc... GOPAC seems dedicated completely to branding and promoting Steele. How much of the substantial amount they raised actually benefited any Republicans. From what I can tell they raised in excess of $8 Million and donated less than $100,000. Also, is Steele using his Maryland LtGov campaign fund to pay for his campaign for chair of the RNC? If so, how much to date? What consultants is he employing for this RNC pursuit? It is my belief that Washington in general and the recent McCain campaign in particular have fallen under the influence of a select few consultants who continue to operate despite an endless succession of losses.I submit that he is probably using the same ones who he used in his Senate campaign...and they not only advised the Republican Senate Campaign Committee during the 2006 Debacle but also advised Elizabeth Dole and a slew of other losers. I suggest that the Republican party needs a tactician and not a Spokesmodel. Mr Steele has never missed an opportunity to promote himself and any organization he has been affiliated with were simply vehicles (see GOPAC). While Mr Steele is very telegenic and a good speaker, we need to retool our party much as Haley Barbour (no pretty boy ) did. Steele is a weak fundraiser and a poor manager. He will hand the party apparatus over to consultants while he pursues speaking engagements across the country. I wish you luck!!
