GOP ousts Steele, picks Priebus to head party
By LIZ SIDOTI, AP National Political Writer Liz Sidoti, Ap National
Political Writer
Sat Jan 15, 3:12 am ET
OXON HILL, Md. – The national Republican Party, coming off huge
election victories but facing a $22 million debt and an internal war
over identity, ousted chairman Michael Steele Friday and chose
Wisconsin party chief Reince Priebus to lead in the run-up to the 2012
presidential race.
The embattled Steele dropped his re-election bid halfway through an
afternoon of balloting when it became clear he could not win another
two-year term after a first marked by verbal missteps and financial
woes.
"We have to get on track. And together we can defeat Barack Obama in
2012," Priebus, the chairman of the Wisconsin GOP, said in a brief
victory speech, pleading for unity within the fractured 168-member
Republican National Committee. "We all recognize that there's a steep
hill here ahead of us, and the only way that we'll be able to move
forward is if we're all together."
The new chairman's name is pronounced Ryns Pree'-bus.
A former top lieutenant to Steele, Priebus promised to hire top-notch
staff, restructure the organization and put it on solid financial
footing so the next GOP presidential nominee will be prepared to take
on Obama. Later, he rejected suggestions the national party
organization's power might have waned, given the proliferation of
outside groups that have assumed campaign functions the party
historically has performed.
"It's very relevant," he said.
For the next two years, Priebus will try to prove that.
Most urgently, the new chairman must retire an RNC debt of about $22
million owed to vendors and banks, as well as lure back demoralized
donors who have been so frustrated with Steele's management that they
sent their dollars elsewhere or didn't open their wallets at all last
year. The party had only about $1 million cash on hand at year's end.
He'll also serve as the party top spokesman promoting its agenda,
countering Democrats, raising money to help Republicans and improving
a get-out-the-vote effort that critics say languished under Steele.
Additionally, Priebus will have to figure out how to navigate a GOP
civil war in which conservatives and tea party disciples are trying to
pull the Republican Party further to the right, to the chagrin of
moderates and some longtime establishment leaders.
The favorite heading into Friday's balloting, Priebus led the field
through seven rounds of voting. Steele quit after the fourth round.
Ann Wagner, a former Missouri state GOP chair, abandoned her bid a few
rounds later. Maria Cino, a New York native and a veteran party
operative who served in President George W. Bush's administration, and
Saul Anuzis, a former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party,
stayed on the ballot until the end.
"Despite the noise, despite the difficulties, we won" in November,
Steele said, noting huge gains that included the GOP taking control of
the House. "We must go forward, and we must win. We fired (Nancy)
Pelosi. Let's take the Senate. Let's take the White House."
It was a message Priebus echoed.
Virtually unknown nationally, the Wisconsin GOP chairman has a high
profile in his home state.
He's an attorney with the law firm Michael Best & Friedrich, where he
is a partner specializing in corporate litigation, according to the
firm's website. State and federal campaign finance records show the
Wisconsin Republican Party has paid the firm at least $89,572 in legal
fees during Priebus' tenure as state GOP chairman.
Priebus' political statements have sometimes contrasted with the law
firm's actions.
He has criticized Obama's multibillion-dollar economic stimulus
package as a costly failure; Michael Best & Friedrich has helped
clients try to win stimulus funds. Firm spokesman David Krutz said
Friday that Priebus has had no role on the stimulus team.
A telegenic though gaffe-prone party leader, Steele had argued that he
should be re-elected because of the GOP's record of coast-to-coast
victories. However, Republican operatives had formed a network of
outside groups that adopted traditional national party functions out
of a concern about the RNC's ability under Steele to raise money and
deploy resources to key races.
The first black chairman of the Republican Party, Steele was elected
to a two-year term in January 2008 just as Obama — the country's first
black president — was taking office.
Since then, Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, has
spent much of his tenure fending off criticism. He faced frequent
complaints about questionable spending, anemic fundraising, staff
shake-ups and cringe-inducing comments.
Longtime establishment Republicans and GOP elders in Washington argued
that he damaged the party's image and its long-term fiscal health.
Steele angered them by predicting the GOP wouldn't win House control
last fall; Republicans did win. He also drew their ire when he
criticized fellow Republicans in a book that GOP leaders didn't know
he was writing until it was published.
He lashed out at critics, telling them to "get a life." Steele also
drew fire for collecting payments for his speeches.
Demands for him to resign came last year after the disclosure that RNC
money was spent on a $2,000 tab at a sex-themed California night club,
and when he said that the 9-year-old conflict in Afghanistan was a
mistaken "war of Obama's choosing." It began under Bush.

Sooner or later they will have this discussion.
"There's got to be a way to bleed the taxpayers for the twenty-two
million. Can we declare the Republican Party a bank? We do handle a
lot of money, after all. There's got to be a way to change the status
of some part of the party, we basically need to put all this debt into
a huge bag, haul it down to the Federal Reserve and swap it out for
twenty two million dollars worth of interest bearing Treasury Notes
like the Wall Street firms do. Then we 'borrow' twenty five million
from the fed at 0% interest like the real banks do using the
Treasuries as collateral and before you know it we're in clover
without lifting a finger, just like Bank of America or General Motors.
Which reminds me, send a memo to Fox that we'd like to see a good,
conservative, activist discussion on slashing Social Security and
Medicare to deal with all the debt Obama and the parasitical Democrats
have been running up over the last few years. And I think we all know
which way the tilt needs to be in these days of evil dem deficits.
Evil Dem Deficits. I like that. Have that stupid putz Kilmeade work it
into the morning show Tuesday."

You do realize that the money that goes to nearly everyone who is not a
"wealthy bastard"..comes FROM the "wealthy bastards" already..do you
not?
So Comrade...when you tax the Kulacks and they ultimately leave the
State of California for better financial climes..where will your money
come from then...hummmm?
Ive lost 16 manufacturing clients in the last 18 months. 6 of them have
moved OUT of California to other more business friendly states. 10 of
them..are tits up. Empty buildings.
It would appear that the "wealthy bastards" are already making the move
away from your grasp. And leaving thousands of unemployed behind.
And frankly Comrade..it appears to be your fault.
It will be a very good thing when the People finally rise up and throw
you off a tall building. Perhaps then they can make California, once the
7th largest economy in the world...prosper again.

I will simply note that at the end of 2010 the Democrat Party was even
further in debt.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/45898.html
Republicans = $13.5 million in debt
DNC = $15.5 million in debt
Maybe they both ran our country into the ditch?

Ill-annoy is going down the same road California did. They just
raised taxes 67%.

relocate in Indiana.

I will be happy to beat you senseless with your own facts.
"Though the DNC ended with nearly as much debt, the committee stands
in a stronger financial position than the RNC, as it carries $9.7
million in cash on hand going into the 2012 election cycle. "
"The DNC outraised the RNC by $36.9 million during the year, bringing
in $137.9 million total. "
"The filing shows that the RNC has yet to make a payment on the debt.
The DNC has paid back $2.5 million. "
"At the first RNC candidate forum Wednesday, each of the four
prospective candidates in attendance trashed Steele’s handling of the
committee's finances — though rarely identifying the chairman by name.
"
"Additionally, each of the prospective candidates is promising more
transparency and accountability in the RNC’s finances, which were
plagued throughout the cycle by reports of inappropriate and
exorbitant spending. "
And my favorite one...
"Michael Steele assumed the RNC chairmanship in January 2009 with no
debt and $8.7 million in the bank, meaning the committee has been $4.4
million in the red during Steele’s chairmanship. "
It is not coincidence that George Bush Jr. started with $100 BILLION
in excess in 2000 and ended his reign of financial terror with a
deficit of $1.3 TRILLION.
Ample proof that Republicans can not handle money.
You better go wipe that bloody conservative brown nose you have now.

The pattern is that the American people are unwilling to cut spending.
Tell us Pete...what are you willing to go without...defense, Social
Security or Medicare?
The overwhelming reason why the US deficit is at $14 trillion is
because of the mismanagement of the Bush administration which the
Obama Adminstration has had to recover from.
Bush started out with $100 BILLION in SURPLUS...from the Clinton
(Democratic) Adminstration.
Obama started out with $1.3 TRILLION in DEBT...from the Bush
(Republican) Adminstration.
Conservatives simply refuse to admit that they screwed up BIG.
Blaming Obama is just another one of long conservative excuses to
detract from the fact that they cannot manage their money or the
financial affairs of the Country.

The two most mobile entities are wealth and the wealthy. The
wealthy can afford to move, and it is much easier to move their money
first.

The hand you feel on your wallet is a Republican one.
But answer us this...with a REPUBLICAN 858 BILLION tax cut, how will
the Country pay its bills unless we cut defense, Social Security or
Medicare? Those three areas ARE where the cuts need to occur.
So...what is your answer...defense, Social Security or Medicare?

Yea, but some people just can't get over their partisanship. IMO, the worst
seem to be those who favor the Democrats, but I've seen a far number of
Republicans doing the same thing.
Until people wake up and start getting serious about it, things will only
get worse. My only concern is they may wake up too late to avoid the pileup
at the end.
