The problem with Steele is that he is really a liberal...His positions on gun control and homosexual marriage will drive away voters who are usually reliable voting blocs

If you do not think his stance on gun control will hurt pro-self defense voters....then ask Al Gore about losing West Va and Tennessee in 2000 because of his gun-control stance...

His positions on gun control and homosexual marriage

What positions? I see a typical NRA talking point in his reply on gun control. What about the homosexual "marriage" (non-marriage) issue?

It looks that way to me, too. I don't write much of my own commentary and post mainly quotes and information on votes, for the most part. Yes, my concerns are obvious, as the quotes show only the negatives about a politician (what we conservatives need to know the most). But my concerns are also analytical--not induced by hormones and madness so typical these days in political information (or propaganda) campaigns. ...can't help but wonder sometimes.

....His positions on gun control and homosexual marriage....

[Quoting article]

He’s encouraged by the success groups in California cobbling together social conservatives, religious Latinos and Blacks on Proposition 8 in November. In 2008, the value of preaching a socially conservative agenda in minority communities increased dramatically. Prop 8 represents the future of the morality movement in America, and Steele sees it as both a winning movement and a way to mend fences with social conservatives who think he’s not one of them.

Further to your post, this article shows that Steele is in fact a social conservative and against the homosexual lobby's attack on marriage and marriage's normative power.

familyop, your crusty act cuts no ice with me, either. You want to bash the guy, take responsibility for it. You're stalking and spamming Steele threads. I have spoken.

These uninformed refusniks will not see the light of truth burning into their eyes... steele is the worst possible pick... but the only thing that I can come up with why so many are willing to be fooled is because of his skin color... I guess... I am colorblind to skin so these things hold no meaning for me... I guess some repubics want their own version of a black messiah... steele is not even close... now Walter Williams would have been the best pick they could have made... but he is too smart to associate with the liars and thieves that rule the repubic party.
