There seems to be some growing online anger (including calls for his resignation) about RNC Chairman Mel Martinez's derogatory comments about those Republicans who opposed the "grand bargain" (such as Romney). Meanwhile, Jim Boulet reminds readers about some of Martinez's commitments from the past:
[Martinez] said he was committed to NOT use his position as General Chairman to push any issue nationally or advance his personal agenda through the RNC.
Do his recent remarks constitute "using his position as General Chairman to push any issue nationally"? Are these notes of anger the opening salvo of a wider push against Martinez? Or will this controversy die down?
