Steele yields powers to foes in RNC

[Nonno]

"Capitulating to critics on the Republican National Committee, embattled Republican Party Chairman Michael S. Steele has signed a secret pact agreeing to controls and restraints on how he spends hundreds of millions of dollars in party funds and contracts, The Washington Times has learned.

The "good governance" agreement revives checks and balances Mr. Steele resisted implementing for RNC contracts, fees for legal work and other expenditures that were not renewed after the 2008 presidential nominating contest.

The agreement, proposed by several current and former RNC officials, goes further, making 33-year RNC veteran Jay Banning, who was fired by Mr. Steele along with his deputy last month, an on-call adviser to the RNC treasurer. Mr. Banning was seen as a trusted liaison to RNC members critical of Mr. Steele's tenure and financial management."

I thought Steele was going to be a great advocate for republicans, but I am sorry to say he isnt. Now, to be honest he has faced some real problems because the old heads of the RNC have been against him from the start. They have succeeded in making him useless and he should get out.

Steele lost me last week on MSNBC talking to Scarborough and Buchanan, the whole 'different hats' analogy. Tax cutting, smaller government, getting out of the world cop business, oil independence and getting out of the socialism business looks the same from any view point.
