Gingrich Backs Steele In Developing RNC Civil War

[Nonno]

"Only a few months into his tenure, Michael Steele has already been forced to do battle with some senior party insiders, with the latest show of no-confidence coming in the form of an RNC resolution that would limit Steele's hold on the party's purse strings.

On Thursday morning, however, the Chairman received a bit of a boost. Newt Gingrich, who will occasionally call out the old guard of his party, stuck up for Steele and called the RNC members orchestrating the resolution a group of stale, self-involved individuals.

"The Republican National Committee is this tiny group of people, some of whom have been there 20 years or more," the former Speaker told CSPAN. "And they all think they're precious. And they all think they should be taken care of. And they all think that the job of the chairman first of all is to make the RNC members happy."

Good for you Newt.
It took a while but your words make sense.

Sometimes a civil war is what it takes to point towards the right direction. Look what the 1860 -65 one did for our country. Passing through the crucible of history is not an easy thing, and if a group, a people and a country are to move forward, passing through it is a test that must be endured. It should attest to the calibre of that people, group organization or country whether they do indeed pass through or wither in the process.
The Republicans are going through that now as the Democrats have had to do . My hope is that we as a people can look at the bankruptcy of both these parties and finally decide to give some of the smaller parties a chance.
