RNC Chief of Staff resigns amid “bondage club” controversy

April 5, 2010

  It appears as if the RNC has found their fall guy for the $2000 party that was held at the expense of the RNC at a bondage sex club, and unfortunately it is RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay and not Michael Steele.

  It appears as though– although it is not confirmed– that Ken McKay was forced out, but whether or not he was forced out this move was directly related to last week’s embarrassing revelations about the Voyeur Club party that was expensed to the RNC. 

  The Republicans held their bid to take back at least on house of congress in their own hands, it was there for the taking. At a time when Democrats were reeling in the aftermath of passing the hugely unpopular healthcare reform bill– and doing it in such an underhanded manner– the republicans held all of the cards, but now the focus is back on the ineptitude of the RNC. Republicans are on the verge of blowing what was a near certain outcome in the November election, and while I am glad to see that someone is being held accountable for this debacle I will not be happy until I read the news that Michael Steele has also been removed or resigned.

  If the Republicans blow the election in November and fail to take back at least one house of congress, they will have nobody to blame but themselves– and Michael Steele. Maybe then they will do the right thing and remove Michael Steele from his position at the head of the RNC. Unfortunately it will be too late by that time and Barack Obama will have at least two more years to pass his radical agenda.

    Just found your blog today and really enjoy it. As to this topic, what the heck does Micheal Steele have to do to get the boot? I wouldn’t call myself a republican, but there perhaps the best chance we have in November, I wish they’d get their act together. I’ll add you to my blogroll, nice job here keep it up.

      Thanks for the kind words. If he survives this, there is probably nothing he can do that will get him removed.

    The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory Thomas Jefferson.

    Unfortunately the Negro in America sees no other thing but that which restricts him.
    To be free from such bonds it to ignore that they exist. Only then will one look past all obstacles and persevere.
    Here we have another black man who sees his challenges as a straw man.

    S, While I agree with you, have you not noticed the ethnicity of M. Steele? Just imagine the “Outrage” that removing a black man from such a position of power would cause and the backlash and smear campaign to follow.
    Rick, I just don not understand what you are trying to say here. It sounds like I would probably agree, just not sure what you are saying.

      This post belongs in comments about Steel using the race card so I posted it there too. (since I can’t move it)

      Anyway,What I am saying is lots of people make excuses in their lives and blame everything but themselves for their troubles. “I don’t have because THEY won’t let me” type of thinking.
      You don’t have to be black to do that.
      Minorities are told over and over again that their obstacle in life is the white man and his system and they chose to believe it.
      Any time the race card is used that is what they are telling themselves. That is what Steel was doing when he said he must work under a slimmer margin for error.
      In other words because he is black his errors disqualify him where as if the same errors where found in a white man we would be OK with it.
      He assumes I consider his skin color more then I do his actions.

      Racist is a culture for losers.
      To claim to be a victim of it is an excuse to do less then your best.

        I should note:
        Maybe I think that because I am white.
        I am white aren’t I?

        True, people are always looking to make excuses for when they fail, they never want to believe any shortcomings they have are their fault. People need to be held responsible, and hold themselves responsible when things do not go their way.

      Amd Michael Steele has already played the race card as well.

    I honestly think that this isn’t the big deal that everyone is making it out to be. Donors are avoiding the RNC like a plague, but the money is still getting to candidates. If the Dems and MSM attacks the RNC, Steele’s playing of the race card hurts them. We can actually use that against them. Additionally, Steele is making the RNC, and the party leadership (who aren’t actually with us anyway) irrelevant. That might also be a good thing.

      I hope that you are right about that. Maybe the people are just donating to the candidates directly. That WOULD be a good thing. Maybe I am over-reacting– I hope so!
