See, I was doing Operation Chaos long before Rush thought of it.
Drink the Flavor-Aid if you are thirsty. My thirst, however, tends toward freedom.
He got 12 of the 20 Anuzis votes assuming nothing else changed.
Steele is an elitist gun-grabber, and unfit to represent the party of small government and individual rights. He is unworthy of public office, as are all other RINO’s.

You know, people with your attitude are as bad as the imbeciles at DU. Superficial, shallow, disingenuous and ignorant is no way to go through life son.
Steele, Time to set a new direction for this country. Hehe. Obama can’t claim that next time!
Okay, now they vote on the invisible girl co-chair. I do wish that the pubbies would not always relegate the ladies to the helper role.
I’m glad this is more polite here. I’m sick and tired of splitters and ankle-biters trying to be negative of anything a Republican does.
Steele has won! 91 votes!
Well done.
I’ve met Steele a few times, family has done business with his, and grew up in the same county.
He does not have an elitist bone in his body. Nice as the day is long and really cares. It’s a good move.
Well, then, hope you enjoy watching the democratic party destroy what was a great Republic.
For pitty’s sake... stop whining and give the guy a chance...
I sent money to the RNCC for showing they had a spine this week and I’m sending money to RNC today... time to start supporting them so they can pay off their debt and start the long fight back.
Amen!
“He does not have an elitist bone in his body. Nice as the day is long and really cares. Its a good move.”
I met him once, after he gave a speech at an Americans for Prosperity conference. I have the same view and got the same reaction. He have core conservative views and values and will make a good leader for the party.
I saw Steele more though. Excellent Results!
Whining is one thing that I’ve never been accused of.
He had his chance, and blew it. His previous words and actions on the issue of the Second Amendment to the Constitution are inimical to freedom. He is an enemy of free people, and I will continue to speak against him and his ilk.
I am already watching it. It is most evident in the fact that people who call themselves “conservatives” and post on FR support someone who is part of the problem of creeping socialism.
You know nothing of me.
Please explain what I posted that is ignorant of fact.
Particularly the fact that Steele is a gun-grabber. I will not support those who deny my rights.
Evidence:
Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if youre going hunting? Thats overkill. But I dont think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But whats the point of passing gun laws if were not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, thats where you need to start. Weve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, its about how we enforce the law.

Guns for “skeet shooting or hunting”??!?!? Ol’ Mike is a wet dream for the Brady Campaign and all the other gun-grabbers. This is an elitist viewpoint that is in direct conflict of the original intent of the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd was included in the Constitution so that Americans could defend themselves against those who would assault and abuse them, including government. Need more evidence??
