RNC Chairman Michael Steele has come under fire from mostly social conservatives for allowing a disbursement by a junior staffer, at a risque nightclub in Los Angeles. But the libertarian wing sees it as less of a problem. Since the controversy emerged last week, he's had a number of libertarian-leaning Republicans rally to his side, including Rudy Giuliani, and Sarah Palin. Now another often times described libertarian Rep. Ron Paul has joined the Pro-Steele bandwagon.

From CNN Political Ticker:

Washington (CNN) - Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, offered support Monday for embattled Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who he praised for trying to build a bridge between the GOP establishment and the libertarian-minded activists who supported Paul's presidential bid.

"Generally, the Republican leadership [doesn't] want to have anything to do with me and don't want to have anything to do with the Ron Paul people," Paul said in an interview on CNN's American Morning. "They should be looking to us and saying, 'You know, why don't we help these young people who are so anxious and interested in what I'm talking about? Maybe they can be and sure should be in the Republican Party instead of being excluded.' He's reached out."
