		<description>You were a great Lt Governor here in Md, I wish you the best...
Now is time to get to work and get the Republican Party back on the RIGHT track..

With you at the helm, we&#039;ll be alright, I truly believe it.</description>

		<description>If we don&#039;t show true colors against unprincipled people such as Holder , or dishonest people like Geitner, then it is business as usual for the RNC.

Opposing th riffraff of the Obama administration is the way to raise &quot;political capital.&quot; Look at the reaction to the house voting unanimously to oppose the &quot;bankrupt my grandchildren bill,&quot; if you have any doubts.

Watching and hoping for &quot;change&quot; for the better.

Godspeed.

Michael Steele got to his position because he shown he was capable of the position and committed to our Principles.</description>

		<description>Your potential to lead this party back from the abyss is enormous. Your communication skills are the biggest thing we’ve been lacking. We’ve needed a voice to carry our values, principles and ideas to the uniformed 53%. 

But first you must share our values, principles and ideas. I was disappointed at your defense of the Senators who voted to confirm Holder to AG. You said we shouldn’t waste political capital on fights we can’t win. When nominees are clearly unacceptable as were Holder and Giettner (sp), yet Republican Senators vote to confirm them, what message does that send? Do you think either of those two would have gotten out of committee when we had the majority? Hell NO.  We’ve GOT to stand on principle.

Now that I’ve said my piece, I wish you every success as RNC chair. I am excited about your leadership and vision. 

But I’ll be watching.

God Speed!</description>

		<description>1st Black RNC Chairman - I just heard that on the radio, and we had our first woman VP candidate (SARAH) in 2008  ;  ) 

To be honest Steele was not my first choice but I liked his energy and passion.  I wanted Ken Blackwell to win and I hope that Michael Steele would include Blackwell in the RNC because he is a strong conservative.

I like the tone he set earlier - &quot;if you stand in our way, get ready to get knocked down&quot; -  I like to hear some strength coming from the RNC - I just hope exactly what was said above from the directors is taken into consideration by Steele and the RNC - I am just glad it is somebody new, somebody people knows, somebody with passion, and I pray that we are a stronger party from all the recent &quot;change&quot; that has been going on at the RNC and the Congress GOP members (Senate GOP please don&#039;t screw up our momentum - do the right thing).  ;  )</description>

		<description>If I didn&#039;t tell you that of course I intend to work hard with you.  We&#039;ve all got a lot of work to do, but I really think that with you at the top spot in the RNC we&#039;ve all got much brighter days to look forward to.  I know that you know you&#039;re here at a crucial time in our country&#039;s history and I want to make the most of it with you.  

&quot;And Now for Something Completely Different&quot;  ;)

Politics could actually be fun again.  I can&#039;t wait.</description>

		<description>&quot;Chairman Steele has promised an aggressive outreach to do the latter&quot;

I honestly hope this to be the case.  We definitely need to reach out and make the point to other conservative minds aside from the party base.  I especially hope this is the case of the Log Cabin Republicans.  Liberals heads would just explode if they lost the gay vote!</description>

		<description>And please Chairman Steele start speaking up in that wonderful way you have of conveying conservative points of view that is just terrific!

Goodness knows our Republican and Congressional R leadership could use some help, and after 8 years of the great Uncommunicator it&#039;s about time to start punching back!</description>
