WOW Listen to Former RNC Chairman Steele on the Dissing of Ron Paul by the RNC

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele appeared on the The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night and told Stewart that what the RNC did to Ron Paul was the height of rudeness and stupidity and went on to ask, "Why would you alienate (Ron Paul) who has the ability to attract a new generation of voters?"

Brandon Raub - Marine Arrested, Detained in Veterans Admin. Psych Ward over Political Views, Song Lyrics Posted on Facebook
