I live in MD, voted for Erhlich/Steele, and have contributed to both campaigns. However, if this article turns out to be true, Steele's sticker is coming off my car for the following reasons:

1) He has been vigorously aided by the Republicans and the President, and this is a cowardly way to get your message out: 2) we don't need another Chafee - I'd just let Cardin win - I wouldn't vote for him, but I wouldn't vote for Steele either and 3) Steele already ticked my off when he had McCain stumping for him.

Too say I am disappointed is an understatement. If this is verified, Steele has lost my vote and my support - totally.

I understand your frustration. You are a noble, educated voter. You have every right. I am opposed to the McCain style (also the main democratic tactic) of appeasement politics. The democrats have perfected the art of saying whatever will win votes regardless of their real values, beliefs, plans, etc. They cater to public ignorance of history and current events and issues. They promise fixes and change to problems and issues that they, by and large create or fuel. I want straight shooting representatives, even if they are occasionally wrong on the issues (as our straight shooting president has been in a case or two). I want honorable people that mean what they say and say what they mean.

All that said, Steele is in a very left state. His constituents (by and large) meet the criteria of democratic voters (history and current events ignorance). He is no doubt "playing politics." And I fear there are more and more Republicans succumbing to this tactic. As much as I loath it, if the tactic gets another conservative in the senate, in this case, I might look the other way. McCain has no excuse for his constituents in AZ. He only panders to create a history for another presidential run.
