The people want to take creative control of the election,” said Steele. “Again, that’s what frustrates … Republicans within in the party with establishment types who think they know more than the people about who they want to lead them.”

Am i the only one who has an issue with this sentiment? Maybe im reading it wrong, but it seems to me he is indicating that the established Republicans know whats best.

I agree with Ken.

It sounds like Steele is telling "establishment" Republicans to listen, instead of trying to torpedo other Republicans.

Good advice, but Steele should have said it months ago.

Steele hasn't been my favorite Chairman.

His job is to tell the GOP to shut up, and listen, that's what leaders do.

Like Firm said, he should have done it two months ago.

Not a good time to be telling anyone anything, but with the attention deficit suffered by most Americans he's allie allie in free again.
