Michael Steele the Republican National Committee Chairman is become increasingly disagreement with the RNC about managing campaign funds. Funding issues is what caused Arlen Specter to deflect to the democratic party and internal riffs may be brewing up another Republican failure to re-organize the party. Tensions lie with the comptroller-treasurer who is administering the funding program and undermining Steele’s authority. Steele is finding that his one time friends are stabbing him in the back and he is not liking it. Steele has had to contend with the rants of Rush Limbaugh, and George Bush who streamlined the boys club to only hard core conservatives.
