As the Republican Party continues to regroup and return to our core principles, we find ourselves in the predicament of choosing who represents our newly reformed Party. Not too long ago, Michael Steele was chosen to head the RNC, which I think was a good choice (however, my support has begun to slide a bit). Steele has been doing an okay job representing the GOP and communicating its message to the People. Not good, definitely not great, but okay. He gets points for maintaining a semi-strong presence within the media. His rhetorical skills, however, need some improvement. A lot of people are criticizing his pick to lead the RNC and calling it nothing more than a political ploy to make the GOP seem more "minority-friendly". This is to be expected from the Left, because let's be honest, we would have done the same. We need Steele to be the loudest one in the room, shouting out our message, and telling each and every American exactly why their best interests lie with the Republican Party. Furthermore, he needs to explain why the Democrats policies will harm John and Jane Doe. Spreading the wealth sounds great to those who are receiving the wealth, but it does not CREATE wealth and jobs. In the absence of this message being shouted from the rooftops, the People will listen to the loudest voice in the room which at the moment is good ol' Rush Limbaugh. There is some internal conflict at the moment between Steele and Limbaugh regarding who runs the Party. I don't blame Rush. If the People cannot clearly have access to Steele and the RNC along with their positions, they will turn to media figures such as Rush who at times do not have the interests of expanding the Party as much as catering to those who are solidly Republican and form the solid right base. If you aren't happy with the messenger, deliver the message yourself!
