Neocons trying to take over RNC

[itshappening]

Disloyal Neocons are trying to take over the RNC Chairmanship in a flagrant display of party disloyalty

-
Former Bush administration official Maria Cino has created a 527 committee for an increasingly likely bid to become the RNC chairwoman, POLITICO has learned.

On Friday, Cino filed papers to create Maria for Chairman with the FEC, a move that will let her raise and spend money in a campaign to take over the national party.

In a sign of her strength among GOP insiders, Cino’s Alexandria-based organization is being aided in part by Mary Cheney, daughter of the former vice president. Cheney’s name is listed on the filing papers as one of three individuals helping to organize the committee

Thread title should be "neocons make desperate attempt to RE-TAKE the RNC".

 

[CableNewsJunkie]

Until a challenger holds up a copy of End the Fed while standing next to Dr. Paul and smiles for a picture, I say we keep Steele around.

 

[rich34]

I agree, lets support Steele. Maybe the neocons can sense he's not so loyal to them, I don't know?

 

[itshappening]

how can we support Steele?!!

they're trying to push him out.

yes!

Cino = Conservative In Name Only - that's about as up front and in-your-face as I have ever seen

Is that the lesbian daughter?

 

[reduen]

I agree that we need to support Steele however we possibly can... I am going to email my state chairman as all state chairmen have a vote... What else can we do on a bigger scale...?

 

[Original_Intent]

politics indeed makes strange bedfellows - wasn't Steele the guy on the 2nd debate that said "stick a fork in Ron Paul - he's done!"

 

[specsaregood]

Is that the lesbian daughter?

Answered my own question. Yes it is his gay daughter.

Same here.

At least Michael Steele has tried to make peace with Ron Paul --- anyone involved with Cheney will do everything they can to further ostracize us (which worked out so well for them in previous two elections not counting 2010).

Kind of like Saulius Anuzis, who also made a demeaning remark about Ron Paul back during the Presidential race --- he got some blowback and I believe tried to make friends with some of our Michigander supporters.

Still my favorite pick of Michael Steele.

Neocons trying to take over RNC

I thought that was a done deal. And the plan was to infiltrate and take it over.
Though we have made some limited progress, it is far from ours.

He backed off publicly, and tried to shmooze.
He is not and never has been a friend. I still don't know what(or who) was behind the sabotage of the Michigan campaign.
Paul Garfield's firing was NEVER explained and those that replaced him effectively destroyed Ron Paul's chances to take Michigan.
Anizis double-talk does not impress me.

I think we need to co-ordinate some action to prop up Michael Steele's regime, which is coming under threat by the neocons

there are loads of articles about Bush operatives "unhappy" with Steele and demanding his resignation. i.e Hayley Barbour

These GOP insiders will get their way if they're not stopped and even though Steele said some horrible things about RP he HAS reached out to him. Palin also supports Steele.

This is becoming a battle inside the GOP and we need to make sure Steele wins.

Contact your GOP State chairman, county chairman etc and express support for Michael Steele

If anyone can help co-ordinate action, perhaps Josh? Then we should do that and list names, emails etc. of all state chairs and RNC members so fellow members can easily email them and put pressure on them to support Steele.

Campaign for Liberty could also get involved through their email list with specific details to members on how to contact the people they need to contact

this^^

At least he knows he needs us.

 

[AGRP]

Could this be a clever way for the RNC to get us to support Steel?

 

[itshappening]

we should support Steele for this position

the alternative is the Cheney's

 

[freshjiva]

Looks like Steele and Ron Paul have something in common now.

What makes you think there is any "alternative". I haven't seen any RNC leadership choices that
impress me in the least.
I will bet it does not make one damn bit of difference.
