This is my email response to an email fund raising effort yesterday:
Mr. Steele,
You took it upon yourself to go on the D.L. Hughley show on CNN. The man is a flaming liberal. I do not know which demographic group you thought you might reach, but your comments about Rush Limbaugh, one of the most notable persons of conservative thought in this country, certainly reached the conservative base of the GOP.
I will not support the GOP again until it stops attempting to be a big tent party. The GOP is the CONSERVATIVE PARTY and is not the place for moderates or liberals.
You are a part of the leadership of the GOP that thinks the party has to swing to the center in order to win elections. The GOP has lost the last two elections precisely because it went to the center. If you want to win, the GOP must move to the right.
I was notified, that at the county level, we have a mandatory meeting to elect officers this coming Saturday. Will attend the meeting but unless I hear some tough answers to some tough questions, I am going to ask, they will more than likely get my resignation. To h@%l with the mediocre performance by the local Republican Party. Have put up with it for years and I don't like being on the losing end year after year. I want to hear of plans to raise money to be competitive again and how we are going to loosen a few pit bulls on the local Democrats who have had a monopoly on every office in the county for as long as I can remember.. We can win if we would only draw back into the party structure some of the Independents who have left the party but still vote for good Republican candidates. We need manpower, funds and candidates to ever gain parity again. We can never do that with so few active members. We lost this county over 20 years ago when they elected an idiot chairman who did not want to confront Democrats because it might cost him by not getting contracts. He disbanded the young Republicans group and we haven't been able bring it back because of the present weak Chairman. You can't grow a political party without new blood. There is still hope if we get our act together because Obama lost this county where Democrats are 5 to 1 in registration.
