Have Republican leaders finally showed their true colors?

Looks to me they want Steele to be seen and not heard.

    They've been showing their colors for a long time. The problem is, most of the American people were apparently color-blind.

    Edit: "True colors" has nothing to do with race. Jeez.

    the place became your experience of fairness whilst the Republicans disregarded the Democrats? the many times used public has the main incredible to fill positions in the committees and function their leaders merely with the aid of fact the Republicans do. this would properly be a occasion project, you at the instant are not a Democrat so how are you able to anticipate to be waiting to electrify any vote casting whether in a universal or the occasion itself, once you do no longer belong. i'm no longer a Republican and by no potential thought that they ought to %. this guy or woman over that guy or woman...i'm going to have hated the consequence, even if it wasn't my occasion then...that is not your political occasion now. regardless of you would be able to declare, the Democrats have the many times used public and have been provided that. Did the Republicans renounce only with the convenience that John Murtha does no longer be majority chief? i think of no longer...to that end is a Democratic occasion project, no longer Republican, nonetheless sore from the election and hating all issues Democrat or Liberal.

    Michael Steele is just the head of the RNC he doesnt really have a say in national policy or for the majority of the American People no more than the head of the DNC does. If i was a member of the Democratic Party id be taking a very close look at the grass root movement and the tea parties . Thats were the true public sentiment lies, and it grows bigger minute by minute and day by day.

    Umm...You should have read the entire article:

    Steele made his own proposal:

    "The congressional leaders were particularly miffed that Steele had in late August unveiled a seniors’ “health care bill of rights” without consulting with them."

    The discussion was about teamwork, and that everyone should be consulted about anything that is proposed by the party.

    Everyone agreed that Steele's intentions were good...They only disagreed on not having a consultation to discuss it so that they could all be on the same page.

    Some agreed with Steele on his support of Medicare, some opposed...It's best to come up with something that most (if not all) can agree on.

    Mountains...Molehills...

    BTW: I'm a Republican and I respect Steele because of his background, his upbringing, his beliefs and goals, and the fact that he is a good person...But, I disagree with him on 3 separate issues...If you are agreeing with your politicians 100%, there is something wrong with you...I don't know ANYONE that I agree with 100% on every issue, not even my friends, husband, or family members...If you think for yourself, you're going to disagree with people sometimes

    As for Politicians, Rand Paul is the person that my views align with the most, and that's at about 96% (his father, Ron Paul's, views align with mine at about 88%)...That's huge for me

    Some of the things Steele has said is not good for the party. Maybe the GOP leaders are finally catching on. Now if the same thing could be done for beck and limbaugh.*

    Race had nothing to do with it. I personally like Michael Steele and voted for him in Maryland.

    But Steele overstepped his grounds. Not by coming up with a plan, but by presenting it to the public before he ran it through the proper channels of the committee.

    The committee liked a lot of his plan and they do not want or need a loose cannon when they are in a recovery process.

    I say this makes you the racist since your are the only one who sees it that way.

    Seems to me if you actually read the article they do not agree with him releasing information before a consensus was made, nothing else but way to keep that race card rolling.

    Steele came out in support of MEDICARE and seniors.

    That don't fly with the RNC overlords!

    I am not sure, I don't trust them. I hope they learn their lessons but I doubt they have the guts to stand up to what they believe in.
