GOP Leaders Slap Down Steele
Republican leaders, “in a private meeting last month, delivered a blunt and at times heated message to RNC Chairman Michael Steele: quit meddling in policy,” reports Politico.
Lawmakers “were particularly miffed that Steele had in late August unveiled a seniors’ ‘health care bill of rights’ without consulting with them.”
“Steele was taken aback by the comments from House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl, Senate GOP conference Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Senate GOP policy Chairman John Thune of South Dakota and grew defensive during the 10-minute discussion.”
“The RNC, according to one source, was planning to roll out more policy initiatives.”
