RINO's must be obliterated in Limbaugh's world because they collaborate with "socialist" Democrats! MS had the right idea to increase the party's diversity and moderate its image and even wanted to cooperate somewhat with the new administration, but he has been stymied by Rush Limbaugh , who pilloried Steele on his radio show.

To Rush, anyone who attempts to move towards the center and appeal to a new demographic, automatically falls into the RINO category . RINO's must be obliterated in Limbaugh's world because they collaborate with “socialist” Democrats!

It seems that he's just failed his way upward. Just curious, but what has Steele ever succeeded at to earn this position in the first place? It seems that he's just failed his way upward.

I haven't much cared for this guy, even prior to his election as head of the RNC, but that was because it seemed like he has been elevated for all the wrong reasons, without ever demonstrating much leadership. But, his reaction to his election is just sad. It's gone to his head and it's going to be hard for him to be taken seriously in the future unless he just shuts up for awhile and gets his bearings. It's like he's drunk on his good fortune, rather than being elated that he has a chance to do something he knows he can do better than anyone else. The sad part is that it's hard to even care.
