QUEL BON MOT! NOT TO MENTION BEING RIGHT ON THE MONEY about the "Great Light Brown Hope of the RINOs." The RNC will now retire to the men's bar at their country club for another round of drinks and another ridiculous campaign.
Heard McCain 0n Hannity last night .... what a jerk. The Roofer was throwing him softball after softball and Capt. Alzheimer couldn't even manage a pop-up.
If our gentle new party leader can manage one thing .... which I doubt ... he should fight with all his might against the open primary system that gave us McCain
What an absurd comparison. Whitman is a fiscal conservative and a social liberal--in particular she is pro-choice.
Steele is a fiscal conservative and moderate to right on social issues. He opposes abortion and embryonic stem cell research. He is also opposed to the death penalty but that is not inconsistent with his Catholic background and it is a principled position--obviously not one he takes for political expediency.
Frankly, it appears that the primary litmus test for the Steele bashers is his support of affirmative action. Affirmative action has its problems and needs to be phased out. But, echoing the debate over the Iraq war, I don't believe that a timetable for withdrawal would be productive.
If affirmative action is the primary problem, I would suggest there might be far less Steele bashing on this forum if he were white.
