Early this month, Michael Steele said that Rush Limbaugh was "an entertainer" and that his comments were usually "incendiary" and "ugly" on the Hughley Show. As a Republican politician is expected to, he must convince people and compromise on ideas when necessary. Michael Steele was right to emphasize that he is the Republican Party leader not Rush Limbaugh. Later however, he apologized to Rush Limbaugh about those comments, confirming Hughley's fear that Rush Limbaugh was the "De facto leader" of the Republicans.
I don't believe that Steele should have apologized, Rush is not the leader of this party, he's just one voice out of many.

You’re right,Rush is the leader of the conservative movement and steele is the leader of the republicrap country club party.Major difference to be sure.
Disagreeing how? I am simply saying we need to examine our weaknesses and fix them so that as Republicans we can win. This should BE the motto of this site.
Sorry Brian you are not getting any traction here with your country club attitude. You want to make nice to the tiger, you go ahead. Here we fight it.
You’re all wet.
Free Republic is not a Republican site. It is a conservative site. There is a huge difference. That’s why McLame and Steele are very unpopular here.
Ya sure. Your FReeper name is Crimson Politics, and the blog’s name is Crimson Politics. Coincidence?
“Fellow Republican”? HAHAHAHA!
We are not Republicans. We are conservatives.
“This should BE the motto of this site.”
When you run this site, you choose the motto.
Here is the voice of the owner:
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

You mess with Rush, you’re messin’ with me. Rush is a conservative with a very large audience. Steele is the leader of a party that has lost its way.
Your analysis holds no water.
McCain was a weak candidate. He is a liberal, and libs vote for the real thing, not a poser. He knew full well what a danger Obama was, but he couldn’t even muster the gumption to criticize him when it counted.
Plus he was an old man and that doesn’t sell in Presidential politics. Shallow reason, but absolutely true.
This was Bob Dole 1996 redux. It failed then and it failed again. Imagine that?
Funny how Bobby Jindal was saying the same things Rush said two months ago, this week, to rave reviews. Guess Rush must be stupid.
Or prescient.
Rush is not making it worse. Mush headed thinkers like McConnell and Steele are doing that all by themselves.
Rush is leading. His goal is not to save the GOP. It is to save America. And the GOP better get on board, or we will hook up to a political organization that will fight these Communist SOBs in the Democrat Party that are destroying this country.
And Obama did NOT cause Obama to win. The media, and John McStupid’s idiotic stunts did that FOR Obama.
And Republicans are weak. They are only now standing up for conservative principles because of Rush speaking out and a very angry group of Conservatives that have closed their wallets to the RNC.
As far as talking to people who voted for Obama,I have and they have no reasons. They can’t name anything that Obama ever accomplished, nor can they get past the allure that “hope and change” trumps “Bush is bad”. And a weak GOP allowed themselves to be branded as bad by the incessant Dem bashing and the GOP not answering in kind. There is a lot of buyer’s remorse among Obama voters now, but it’s a little late for that.
Quite frankly, it is you who are naive, and your analysis shows it. Politics ain’t beanbag, kid.
And right now, we have a country to save. I could care less about the GOP.
You mean talk to people who are/were easily fooled.Why waste the time.
And many of us voted for that loser,it was because we knew that a liberal in conservative clothing was better then a hard core leftist.That doesn`t make the lesser of two evils the preferred choice of all possible.McLame votes far too often for what can only be described of as liberal issues.Take the illegal aliens issue,well?Care to elaborate on your champion`s sterling example of conservatism.And don`t get me started on “campaign finance reform”.
Hear,hear.
You gotta see this Jim. This “blogger” wants you to change the purpose of this site.
I pinged Sarge.
And yet your home page says:
Support our blog for victory in 2010 and 2012.
Which is it?
Lying is typical of trolls. Hmmm.
That’ll be the day.
AMEN!
He seems as persistent as he is nasty and arrogant.
