Kudos to you Michael. Now stand tall and proud. Be strong and push conservative principles. Do not falter and do not shrink from the fight against Obama and the Democrats.

And most of them are here on FR and call those disagreers "RINOs", even though that tired label may be patently false.

I've got news for you: both Republicans and Democrats have moved left significantly over the last 40-50 years. Why? Because Democrats require and get loyalty from their candidates to liberal principles, while all we get regarding conservatism from Republicans is lip service, after which they cave in to Democrats on issue after issue. The Republicans have been handily thrown out of office in this last election precisely because they keep betraying conservatism, and thus garner no support from their base, yet you seem to be arguing that we should continue this losing strategy and continue to tolerate rampant liberalism in the Republican Party. As we saw with a Republican president and Congress a few years ago, even when we get to savor the victory of having a bunch of "R"s in office, we still get liberal socialism. Are you sure you want to continue the same tactic that has failed us continuously?

This is a congratulatory thread, not a wake. If you want to bring it down to that level, you can start your own "there is a tear in my beer" thread.

I think the heads were superimposed on the bodies in that image.

Great pics of L Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr

LOL... reminds me of this..

“Any obstructionists, get out of our way or we’ll run you over!”

A not-too-subtle message to conservatives.

[missanne]

WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO! I’ll second that!

122 - Good post! Steele ROCKS!

[Soul Seeker]

Cool. Duncan’s out.

I like Steele, he was my preference in 2006, just hope he lives up to the rhetoric now. :)

[EdReform]

Agreed

Tried of listening to yankee bigots trash anyone from the South, while they are the most bigited being on earth

[No Surrender No Retreat]

I believe Michael Steele refers to himself as an (American). Great to see him win the RNC Chairmanship.

I know the liberals will attempt to demonize him, but Michael will stand tall.

This is a good day for America and all us conservatives.

Respectfully,
NSNR

Is he holding a French Bulldog or a Pug?

Neither....Boston Terrier

[Dead Corpse]

You were the first one to try and derail it by bringing up Ron Paul.

Your derangement is showing... Get over yourself.

“he’s tied to Mike Tyson”

Has he had dealings with MT?

Notice how the usual 3rd party naysayers hit this thread against Michael Steele with their typical post against anyone that is not 100% what they consider conservative or better known as the “my way or no way” crowd. Love it how 3rd Party types love to tell us what to do.

Believe most “true” Republican Conservatives will be very happy with the choice — I know I am. :)

[trisham]

I don’t expect a Ted Nugent/Charlton Heston “gun nut”. I do expect the standard bearer for conservatism to know exactly what the hell we want “conserved”.

**********************

Exactly right. I also expect someone who isn't for mandated racism.

[utahson]

Post 122 is directed at you too. The GOP is NOT YOUR PARTY, so what you crying about?

[MARTIAL MONK]

Winning armies get the initiative and keep it.

Yup. Alan Keyes is a real weiner.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

It makes no difference what religion he is. If the fact that Obammy was as proabortion as he could get didn’t affect Catholic vote, why would the fact that the RNC elected a Catholic affect the Catholic vote? I hope it does but I wouldn’t bet on it.

“It should have been Dawson, or even Duncan.”

Duncan? You’re nuts!! Dawson? Folks - it’s time to venture outside of “Fortress” South.
