A Fistful of Dollars
"Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele has been reaching out to key Republican leaders in recent days, urging them to continue directing resources to his U.S. Senate bid."
This from "Mr. Independent Republican." He's not asking for finanacial support from Marylanders...you know, the people he says he wants to represent. He's going to the trough.
Not that that would be a problem normally, but Steele has made such a big deal about "telling us what's wrong with both parties" how can anyone in Maryland expect him to criticize any senior Republican when he's begging them for money? If he was getting grassroots donations, things would be different.
He's not an independent, and any claim he's making to the contrary is pure deception.
And it's not like he hasn't gotten any money:
Oh and lets not miss that he's trying to play the race card on his fellow Republicans:
What a piece of work.

And it's not like he hasn't gotten any money:
President Bush, former president George H.W. Bush, Vice President Cheney, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson appeared at fundraisers organized with the help of the Republican National Committee. Those efforts yielded $1.1 million for Steele's campaign. The committee also contributed $267,000 directly to a joint candidate fund that benefits Steele.
Oh and lets not miss that he's trying to play the race card on his fellow Republicans:
"A lot of people were watching what happened to Kweisi. Will my party be bold in its effort to show that it's commitment is different from theirs?"
What a piece of work.
