One RINO down, only a few hundred well-placed ones to go...

And this is a big RINO.

I almost threw my beer through the TV when he got the slot.  In his tenure in Maryland he backed gun control and a whole slew of other progressive evils.  Neocon through and through, and he only got the slot so the GOP could appear to be post-racial, too.

Lowlights:

Quote

During his time as Lieutenant Governor, he chaired the Minority Business Enterprise taskforce, actively promoting an expansion of affirmative action in the corporate world..................Affirmative Action
As Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, Steele committed $70 million in grants and loan guarantees for small and minority-owned businesses.[74]

Quote

Gun control:
"Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that. But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law."[78]

The RNC should have left the man in Maryland where his brand of "conservatisim" belongs.

I had been hoping he would step down after any one of a number of scandals.  My favorite being using RNC moneys for an S&M Club outing.

Here's to hoping that enough TEA party folks have stepped up to infuse the RNC with people that think like the rest of flyover America.

Not one red cent, RNC.
