Conservative Belle: A Republican should be the next RNC Chairman

Conservative Belle has some good suggestions for the post-Martinez Republican National Committee:

The party needs new leadership, leadership which reflects the views of those who support the organization. Many conservatives, myself included, have declined to contribute any more money or sustain an active membership in the national party because of their inability to effectively acknowledge the lack of border enforcement and the growing illegal immigration problem in our country.

Instead I got a lot of email traffic asking for more money because of the outrageous things the Democrats are saying/doing. I'd be more inclined to contribute if they instead said they needed the money to proliferate a strong message by the RNC that border security is a priority issue. ...

We should be able to demonstrate fiscal conservatism and restraint of government growth in our actions, not just our rhetoric. And when Republicans who do demonstrate that (Senators DeMint, Coburn) idealism, we should applaud it, not shun it.
