As Top GOP Aids Resign In Wake Of Scandal, Calls For Steele To Step Down Intensify

April 9, 2010 by  

As top GOP aids resign in wake of scandal, calls for Steele to step down intensify Embattled Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele has been trying to reassure party members that the GOP will be ready for the midterm elections, but he is increasingly facing calls to resign.

Rocked by scandals—including allegations that young members of the party entertained guests at the party’s expense at a strip club—the GOP leadership appears to be increasingly shaky. This was exemplified by the recent resignation of a committee member Sean Mahoney, who accused Steele of spending donor’s money with "reckless disregard."

Mahoney’s resignation followed that of RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay.

And although Steel has tried to reassure the party and its followers that he took the responsibility seriously and would not tolerate misuse of funds, voices calling for him to vacate his job have been growing.

Among those calling for Steele to step aside was Republican strategist Alex Castellanos, who questioned the chairman’s ability to lead the party into November’s elections in a commentary on CNN.

"I think a change in the direction now, at this point, would do the party good," Castellanos said.

However, former New York Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was among those supporting Steele. ADNFCR-1961-ID-19708409-ADNFCR

    Ok boys and girls, I’m going to use this issue to comment on a broad range of issues. First, Steele should step down, due to the simple fact that he’s lost control of his people and the RNC is floundering terribly. Who should step up to the plate next? I’m not going to disparage anyone of the names mentioned in the previous posts, so pick your own poison. What is the GOP conserving? There’s a rumor that staunch Conservatives make up a significant number of party members, but what exactly are they conserving? Certainly not a prediliction for same sex activities, whether it be in a West Hollywood sex club or a bathroom stall in a airport. Are they conserving money? (this reads fiscal responsibilty) Where are the firebrands demanding an accounting of 2.3 trillion missing from the DOD’s budget (9/10/2001) (gone…. off book.. disappeared) What about the no bid contracts for Halliburton and Dyncorp? (Psst… Some of the guys in these corporations should be indicted for past and present sins) Last, but certainly not least, the Fed. Reserve Board.
    Bernanke had the unmitigated gall to sit up in front of Congress and say he wouldn’t disclose how much and where taxpayer’s money was being disbursed. Geither, Larry Summers and Greenspan (the unholy three)… My Conservative friends were strangely silent while these jackaknapes worked their magic.
    Perhaps they’re conserving a misguided (misdirected) view on what to conserve and the process of conserving it. Maybe they should focus their attention on the powers behind the throne… (Gangsters and Banksters run this country) Why conserve a hatred for puppets on strings… Liberally apply your conservatism to the heart of the matter.
    I could go on, but you get the drift…..

      Conservative, liberal, far left, rar right, middle of the road are all designed to replace the only two that count. PATRIOT OR TRAITOR.
      But that would leave the media in a real conundrum with only the terms “Having said that” and “Moving forward” to entertain their ad victims.

  • Average Joe

    Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
    Robert A. Heinlein
    Now all we have to do is decide one which of the two groups we belong to…and vote accordingly….I am of the latter.

    • LocalYokel

      Then you could qualify as a patriot with a constitution but you’ll have to defend it at least every four years.

    I’m not voting for anyone thats in office now..I would love to start over with all new people..I think going in they all have the right plan,to do the right things for the American people..But after they’ve been there awhile,they all get away from the reason they were sent there..TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE…

  • American Liberal

    Retail sales in March….the best in the last decade……. Great job president Obama…….. I’m sure were all very pleased the economys picking up…. This will help Harrys election….

    • tedcrawford

      It’s about JOBS, PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS, everything alse is only a temporary illusion! This is just obama spending some more of the stimulus money he’s been sitting on! Most of us are not fooled by this!

    • zack

      American Liberal,;
      5,000 comedians out of a job, and you are trying to be funny;; Obama is the biggest looser of all time. Not a thing has gotten any better, everything is getting worse day by day.

      Wake up you old goat and get a life.!!1

  • Reverend Joe

    Mike Leavitt or Jim DeMint would both do a great job. Mike Steele is siding with Obama on the race issue and forgets that this is the party that freed the slaves. Mr. Steele, don’t take this Party down!!!

  • Jeannette/Cecil

    Please don’t think of Palin as the end all. She has said a few things that disturb us. One: she just supported McCain in his Senate run this year. Secondly, she said that her and Todd should have told Bristol about birth control-NOT abstinence, resisting peer pressure, saving herself for the right man (being Christian after all). Thirdly, she wants the federal government to find a way to help special needs children. Well, so far there is still the voucher system, although when I was young my parents paid for us to attend private school AND paid their taxes. With her celebrity, she needs to start a private foundation to do what she wants the gov’t to do for special needs children and their famillies, not impose it on the government(especially at this time when the taxes, entitlements and spending are so out of control). As for Michael Steele, this is the first we have heard of wrongdoing on his part. Can you find a way to give us more facts regarding this matter?

  • Enlightened one

    Palin could do her ” Hollywood” Reality Show and lead the Republican party at the sametime…. The Tea Bagger party ticket would be… Sarah and Larry the Cable guy… Now that’s a dream ticket.. And a perfect fit

  • George

    Here’s an idea for direction, how about one that brings us back to being a Republic instead of a Democracy, one that shrinks the government and massive spending cuts and stops the entitlement programs, one that embraces constitutional solutions where we aren’t forced to buy a commodity?

    • Dr. Mabuse

      oh yeah !!!

    • eyeswideopen

      George are you saying kill SS and medicare? I am all for that. Let the elderly fend for themselves, they should have saved money and not relied on SS for their retirement. Let the Christian churches take care of the kids. No more disability payments, people need to learn how to take care of themselves and plan for the future. We need to immediately start phasing out both. Kick the age up to 72 for next five years. Make lump sum payouts to those who paid in and be finished with SS. It will probably take 10-15 years for the elderly to die and until then when the benefits stop, we need to just refund them the monies they paid in. It really isn’t that much per person. What are your ideas on how to stop it?

      • Granma Harp

        Excuse me? Can I then assume you would prefer death panels for the elderly?
        I am 92 years old and we receive $117 a month in SS, We pay, out of my purse, $330.23 each month for additional supplemental Medicare insurance, which I personally chose and wasn’t forced to purchase. I still get regular checkups and have never spent a nite in the hospital. My husband, who recently passed away at 96 of natural causes, had survived cancer and I am thankful that we were more than able to have the coverage we wanted.
        You see, we ran a small mom & pops grocery store for 61 years. Extended credit to the town folks that needed some help when times were hard. Many times we went with less because we wanted to see other good folks put clean diapers on there children, feed them and their selves first. To a tee, each and every handout was re payed, if not in cash, then in labor or barter. Our store was a family market, run and owned b my two children when Herb and I decided to retire 10 years ago. We worked hard, saved a bit, and enjoyed our life. My children lost the market to the county through eminent domain. They lost their whole life because the county wanted that property, and we were able to fight them off for over 20 years, but they got it. Someone real big wanted that property real bad. The federal government built a federal penetentiary there. My kids are scraping for a living now, both college graduates with fine families. There is no work available for them. I heard that unemployment is at 23% in our area now. They don’t get unemployment nor do they qualify for any assistance, but our community has stepped forward and is helping each other.
        Medicare is government ASSISTED health care, not government CONTROLLED health care.
        Your comments are cruel, rude and inhumane.

      • Claire

        Granma Harp — First of all I respect you and your husband for the fact you ran a business for all those years and you were “good” to your customers. You both are honest and fair-minded people.
        Eminent domain has been around for years and years. I had a problem concerning eminent domain about 3 years ago. It wasn’t as big a problem that you had, but the county where my country property is located wanted to put new light poles up–and two poles would have been just 20 feet from the old farmhouse. Needless to say they got huffy with me and my son took over. He is an engineer with IDOT and when these thugs told him they WERE going to put them up regardless, my son told them they were wrong, he knew all about eminent domain and they could NOT put poles up that close to the farmhouse. Needless to say, it worked out okay. The poles were put up in a different location far away from the house. Thank God for my son.
        Regarding SS— For years this has been a good program for seniors. It is not a freebie. People paid into this program their entire life. My husband and I have supplements too. My husband has had so many health issues. I am glad we had the supplement to go along with Medicare or we would really be in debt. The price of his surgeries were unbelievable but he is alive. And I am thankful to God for that.
        For years the government has dipped into SS and they did not have the right to touch this money. Some people should realize that not all families can save. Too many issues, catastrophes can pop up during a lifetime that can limit the saving process.
        I am all for SS.

      • Granma Harp

        Claire, thank you for such kind words, bless you.
        I myself, am far from being feeble. I am still driving, never an accident or any kind of speeding violations. I have lived and been self educated and I am still being educated today. I know about America and what our flag stands for, what it means to see children come home in a casket from war. That is the ultimate sacrifice for ones country. I saw and lived first hand the McCarthey era, Herb Hoover, the racial discourse that flowed through this great country with all of the hate. I saw the violence first hand, but I will say this: America is better because of it. I also saw the war demonstrations in the 1960′s and our nation is better because of it.
        That might be difficult to understand for some, especially the returning kids that fought so bravely with loss of life in another country, all in the name of freedom. We have a better understanding of the forces behind these things, we have been educated through life’s experiences. There is division in this country today and our elected officials have learned nothing from history. It is sad that so many people can’t realize that freedom in this country was not free. I don’t think our president is interested in freedom or this countries welfare. He seems to be more interested in himself, his TV time and promoting welfare. In my lifetime, I have never seen any President resort to constant, petty exchanges with their detractors. Believe me when I say, every president has been heavily critisized.
        I am concerned for my kids and all of the children yet to be born whether we will be able to save our nation for the future. It doesn’t look good, but Americans never ran from a fight, and we are in a fight for America, her flag and to preserve the great American dream that I have lived.

        Thank you, Granma Harp

      • Claire

        Grandma Harp– And thank you for your kind words. I agree with all that you have spoken. In fact, I admire you. If I live long enough, I hope I have the wisdom you have. I had my 69th birthday in January. I can still run with my dogs and so far my health has been good. My husband and I had our 50th wedding anniversary this past December. Hopefully we will have many more.
        I remember the ’60s quite well. I didn’t approve of Viet Nam, but I stood by our soldiers and America. My kids and I spent a lot of time working with a group that sent goodies to the troops. My kids were little at the time but I think they enjoyed doing this.
        Now we are in another war that is dragging on and on. I still think the minute our troops are pulled out, the Afghanistans, Palestians, and all of them will go back to their old ways. Those countries have fought for years, almost since the beginning of time. I hope I am wrong on this. I hope and pray for world peace but I truly do not think it will ever happen.
        With the problems of today, we are in for the fight of our lives. But, all of us are good true American patriots and we will prevail and like you said, we will be better for it.

      • Claire

        Granma Harp — I wish to add— May God bless you always and thank you for your words of wisdom.

  • Willard Schmehl

    You can protest on these blogs all you want, but nothing will change until you hit them in the wallet. All of the Republican National Committees (RNC, and Senatorial and Congressional)are walking in lock step. They spout their support for the Conservatives we want and then collect our money and support the RINO’s.

    We could have gotten rid of Specter six years ago but the various Republican committees supported him both monetarily and by campaigning. He only won the primary back then because W himself went to Pennsylvania at the last minute to support him. Soon as he was reelected, he stabbed us, meaning the people of this country, in the back.

    If you want to get their attention and see real change, STOP sending the National Committees money. SEND YOUR MONEY DIRECTLY TO PROVEN CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES. That way we can support the Conservative candidates while forcing the national committees to change. After all, “Money, is the Mother’s Milk of Politics.”

    If you don’t know how to identify the true Conservatives, join “Club for Growth.” They identify candidates who support our capitalist system and practice true Constitutional Conservative principles. And you don’t have to send Club for Growth a dime if you don’t want to. They profile the candidates and then provide the addresses of the candidates so you can support them directly.

    Michael Steele and John Cornyn MUST go. They say all the right things and then support RINO’s.

    Here in California, the Party is supporting the most liberal of the candidates for both Governor and Senator.

    So if you want change, STOP sending money to the national committees. Only send money directly to Capitalist supporting Constitutional, Conservative candidates.

  • Meteorlady

    Steele needs to get out of there. He’s not doing the party any good. As for “rocked by scandals” I would guess that one person making an inappropriate decision and spending $2000 can’t be any worse than Obama taking Michelle on a date night to Chicago using AF1.

    If the Republicans are going to field any candidates that can actually win, they need to reassess their platform and get with it. I’m not a religious conservative, but I certain am a fiscal conservative and not may of their candidates have shown a great deal of fiscal restraint either. We need to get rid of lobbyist, pork and get some campaign finance rules back.

    • B. Stewart

      Lobbyist do all the work, you spend the pork, and there is no way to control money! Besides, we are now a soialist republic so it dosen’t matter.

  • http://att.net gene shires

    If you are serious about winning the election, you need to scrap- huckabee,romney,mccain,gingrich and all these old washington takers-fakers. get palin and beck, get back to the constitution!!!!! and GOD !!!!!!!!

    • Meteorlady

      I’m sorry but I don’t vote for media babies like Palin with little or no experience. Surly we have some really good people that could run and win. I personally like Rand Paul, I like Thune of S. Dakota, and a lot of others that could take up the challenge. Palin is smart, witty and cute, but has no experience running a country, quit on the governor’s job, takes to the lecture circuit and signs on for buck at Fox. Not my kind of candidate. I want someone with substance who has a voting record or business record that I can see and read about. I want someone who has experience running a business, not some liberal lawyer with grand ideas and no background.

      • Meteorlady

        Oh forgot – I would vote for Condi Rice too.That lady has the gumption to get the job done.

      • Claire

        Meteorlady:

        I agree with both of your posts.

      • tickedoff

        I don’t want anyone who has been a Council of Foreign Relations member. They are all globalists, and she was one.

        I want someone who will NOT be open to granting amnesty. McCain definitely was, and if Palin hadn’t backed him, and even made robo calls, (along with Scott Brown), to Arizonians asking them to vote McCain for senator, I would have been open to her. I do not believe that she is a dolt. The younger illegals think that this is their country and the last March on Washington proved that they have no intention of becoming Americans. They were told not to bring their Mexican flags but they proudly brought them anyway! That is ALL we need; to become like Mexico!

      • Charie

        Great Democrat talking points!

    • Smilee

      Great!! a big republican loss would be ensured!!

      • Claire

        Smilee– Nothing can be taken for granted in life, not even politics.

  • Glen

    I don’t care is Steele is ORANGE, fire him!

    • Water walker

      How about Michelle Bachman?

      • Claire

        Water Walker: No thanks.

      • Smilee

        Please do, we in MN would love get her out of the house and she would do no better than steele

      • Hugh Jordan

        Bachmann is a bigger dolt than Steele and Palin. Haven’t you heard her speak? How about someone with a three digit IQ.

        There has got to be a brilliant conservative who does more than mindlessly spout dogma.

    • Claire

      Glen— Agreed.

  • Richard Cancemi

    Michael Steele has been ineffectual and a big disappointment. Sarah Palin Would be a good replacement because of her voiced conservatism and support of the Tea Party movement. Stele has turned his back on the Tea Partiers. We need true and real political party reform and have more of a choice at election time than having to vote for the lesser of two evils.

  • Water walker

    Agree… Steele needs to Go… But who can we put in?

    • Claire

      Give me a little time–I’m thinking….

  • http://victorbarney@embarqmail.com Victor L Barney

    I agree with these posts, that Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele should leave! I’m not a racist, but it looks to me that the Marxist(anti-messiahs) in our government had elected a “foreigner” President, who also is a provable MARXIST, which is impeachable, but there already had been a Marxist Takeover of our government and so the Republicans had to respond in kind! I will mention that for those of you that believe that we(America) are Joseph’s child(and we are, just like it’s provable that Yahweh spoke in Hebrew(Acts 26:14), who received the promise given “Israel”(Not Judah(Judah got “grace” and the Messiah came through them). This simply is “misinformation” passed off as fact to the incorrectly educated public and “we”(America) had been absolutely forbidden from appointing a “foreigner” over us(Deuteronomy 17:15); but we have done just that thanks to the large percentage of women voters voting for him! How many people know that the Bible says the only Hebrew” is the set-apart and inspired scriptures given man and we must prove all things by them? How many people know that the Pope in 1520 asked a Spanish Priest names Petrus Galatinus to change the Jewish Messiah’s Name “Yahshua”(son of “Yahweh,” the Father)to a name that honors the highest Greek Deity, Zeus? He(Petrus) came up with both the Names “Jesus” and “Jehoveh” at this time and the “WORLD” of course, accepted it because the spiritual “RULER” of this world is “LUCIFER,” the first Messiah! A direct violation of the 3rd commandment! That’s readable and provable history folks, but no longer is being taught in our schools since the 1920′s! Obama is a self-pronounced Marxist, as were his parents, grandparents, and best friend growing up(That’s clearly impeachable, or use to be! PS” Read about Karl Marx and find out that he was an anti-messiah figure who wanted to kill all fellow Jews that Hitler took off on! Yes, it’s not Germany folks(actually a tribe of Israel,Gad, but the Anti-messiah as come to America! Watch!

  • wayne bauer

    All good appropriate comments, why can’t we get the message to headquarters? We don’t need any more of his rascist remarks and beliefs. I’m getting sick of all that at all levals. The only rascists are the blacks in power. We’ve had enough, it’s time to stop letting them have the country.
    I hope there is a way to find that we don’t have to buy politics, has anyone thought about all the money wasted on these election scams? With the alternative communications can’t we get support at a reasonable cost? We know the alphabet networks will continue there one sided fascist support as they are owned by same. QQuit listening and supporting.

    • michael cheaney

      why to you call the blacks in power rascist,it seems to me that the repuclican party are the racist

      • tedcrawford

        I feel that to paint an entire group with such a broad racist brush is counterproductive. Are there racists in the republican party? Yes. Are there racists in the democratic party? Yes. I give you, harry reid ” he doesn’t talk like a black man, unless he wants to” and Sen. byrd!
        Racism is where you find it,sadly, everywhere. Untill we can call ourselves and our fellow Americans, simply American no prefixes, we will continue to have to deal with it!

      • Charie

        There are not too many racist Republicans. They have always, since their inception as the anti-slavery party, yes, that’s how the Republican Party was formed, been instrumental in passing civil rights legislation. Democrats have fought against freedom for black people. The great Democrat leader who they point to with pride, Woodrow Wilson, was not only a racist but was dead set against the voting franchise for women. I’m not sure what Democrat it was that figured out that black people meant VOTES, but he was some kind of a genius. He managed to get votes for Democrats while putting too many black people back into the slavery of welfare while at the same time making the general public believe that Democrats were the saviors of black people. It was a stroke of genius seeing as how Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan (Sen. Robert Byrd-WV(D) being, a recruiter in the Klan in his salad days). And yes, Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican because he knew which party had helped black people and didn’t want them back in the chains of welfare dependence.

        I’m afraid Steele is not the kind of Republican MLKjr was. He’s more the “cocktail party” type, out for money, influence and to be an insider.

    Pat Buchanan : Said that if the Republicans get back in power the country will go over the cliff

  • MadeeColorado

    I agree with you, S C

    You hit the nail on the head! Michael Steele is a RINO and the Tea Party is about conservatives and libertarians wanting to get the government out of our lives and give the power back to the states.
    Steele doesn’t even think we can win back both houses in November. Why would anyone (except the dems) want him running the show?

  • Fred

    Steele should step down and we should put Palin in that position. Then she can quit funding the RINOS like Collins, Snow and McCain and campaign for the true Conservatives and Libertarians. This will get the media off her back for a while and let her get out among the people. She can also bring in a lot of money, unlike Steele. I quit funding the RNC when they spent my money funding Snow and Collins along with Favazzava in NY. Steele, Step down…Palin take the job.

    • Kate

      Not only would Palin be able to raise money…she is the cheerleader that could keep the Republicans and Tea Party followers working together rather than splitting the ticket. We have got to stay focused for 2010 & 2012!

      • DC Wornock

        Is is not amazing how easy people are led around by the nose. When our rulers and masters see that the public is beginning to catch on to their one party system with two faces. They have the media a hundred times a day present someone like Palin who will say a few right sounding thing but take her marching order from our masters. The even have the party leaders critize her (of course in the right way to make her sound better) and the public eats it up.

        In the meantime the few that might really give us change such as Ron Paul is first ignored and, it that doesn’t work, is called out of touch or kook, 100 times every day.

        For the Democrats, our masters gave if Obama. Hope and change, is all he ever said and the public believed he was different.

      • Palin12

        Sarah would be perfect for the job.

    • Water walker

      Yes, Palin would be perfect, but I thought she was trying to distance herself from the party?..

      • Jana

        WW,
        I always hear her saying we need to stay with the party and get conservatives in there.

      • tedcrawford

        Water, I really hope she is! Mrs. Palin is exactly where she should be,doing axactly what we need her to do! She is a free agent, bound to no party,controlled by no political ideaology, save her own.
        Her support of McCain, who is not as far right as some of us would like, points to her loyalty. I believe that to be a quality very lacking in politics! Her actions in New Yorks 23rd district, shows she isn’t bound to the Republicans, but true to her supporters.
        The left likes to call her “unintellegent” and tries, at least on the surface, to discount her! What I see, however, is an abundence of good ole common sense! At the moment, at least, I hope she doesn’t run for any office, or affiliate with any party!

      • Claire

        Realistically, she couldn’t be too dumb, I would imagine she makes many trips to the bank. She is making the most of her popularity and I don’t blame her. I would too.

  • s c

    Wasn’t it obvious a year ago that Steele was questionable? If he’s busy acting like a mirror-loving, reincarnated RINO, dump him. The word needs to go out that we DON’T need so-called ‘Republicans.’ We need CONSERVATIVES and libertarians who have seen the light and won’t sit on a fence and try make ‘new friends’ at America’s expense.
    The many types of progressives have already put themselves into a corner. Now, let the light of truth and the Constitution do to the progressives what they’ve tried to do to America since Teddy Roosevelt and before.

  • cs

    America NEEDS to understand WE the PEOPLE do NOT have a 2 party system anymore!! We simply have what the puppet masters want us to think we have! They have orchestrated this bogus 2 party system that is regulated and controlled by the REAL powers the rule our country and for that matter the entire world thru the monetary system they developed and OWN!! If you really research the facts you will see that each “parties” basics are the same they only differ in perifeal matters that really are miniscule in importance!! Thus by controlling both parties and manipulating the stupid publics perception that if this party doesn’t so what you wnat you can simply vote out the scoundrels and vote in the other!! By doing this the public thinks they are in control and the fact is the public (sheep) are really not in control!!!!!

    Mike is a good man but, he never seemed like the type that would go hehind closed doors and get the tough work done, Republicans are in the fight of their life. Mike should step down and get behind the new learder for the good of the American people.

    Steele needs to step down. He is hurting the party at a time when we need all the help we can get to return the Congress to the Republicans in November.
    There are to many scandels at a time when we need all the votes we can get in November even here in the Florida legislature with their scandels.

      Picking one out of the whirlpool will help but can’t solve the problem. It needs a flush. Ask Bucannon and other old timers that have tried.

    Personally, I think they should get rid of him. He has done more harm than any good for the Republican party. Replace him with someone that has some common sense.

      The Republicans better not take anything for granted and get their house in order. I agree with you Claire.

      • Claire

        Jeff H– Yes, they better get their house in order. They better pick someone that is a true Conservative. This is the only way they will get ahead. Too many RINOs.

    • Jana

      I agree. They need to not only get their house in order, but get back to basics. Right now neither party represents we the people. Well, we the people want representation again, not dictators, and not someone in there who ignores what the people are saying.
