GOP Insiders Look To Oust Steele

  • 7 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

As the New York Times reports:

Some senior party officials are maneuvering to put pressure on Michael Steele, the controversial party chairman, not to seek re-election when his term ends in January or, failing that, to encourage a challenger to step forward to take him on…

One man leading the effort is a Mississippi Republican Party committeeman, Henry Barbour, who is a nephew of Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi – a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, himself. Governor Barbour is said by people involved in the discussions to be among those eager to see a change at the top of the party and recently criticized party fund-raising under Mr. Steele.

…In an interview Tuesday night, Henry Barbour said, “I like Mike Steele, and I’ve worked hard to support him as chairman.” But, he added, “I do think we have to make a change, and I have actively talked to some other members in the last week or so and encouraged a few of them to consider running.”

…But Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, voiced tentative support for Mr. Steele. [Pols emphasis] He said that while the national party gave less to states than it had in recent years, the resources it did provide proved critical in his state. “I don’t have any complaints,” Mr. Wadhams said. “I think there’s a chance he could be re-elected.”

Of course, Dick Wadhams hopes you’ll say the same for him.

  1. …my long quote of the day:

    Look at the tyranny of party — at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty — a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes — and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing their doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible texts and billies, and pocketing the insults and licking the shoes of his Southern master.

    1. While I don’t think every vet gets a lifetime Get Out of Jail card to tilt all of life’s problems to their favor, we certainly must fulfill any promises made.  

    1. Dick should know that he is done as chairman.

      Pam interesting Burke quote.  I wish more democrats would familiarize themselves with the words of him.  Aren’t you glad we do not live in a true democracy?
