Two simple things;
I don't trust any politician.
If Steele is ready to lead the Republican Party in an apropriate conservative manner against Obama and the liberals then he will have my support.
No. Steele didn't say that he just found out how valuable Rush is. What Steele said was that he mispoke.
Look, if you don't trust Steele that's one thing. But like Steele, you should try to get things accurate.
I had high hopes for Steele and the RNC especially the way they and McCain did not stand up to the Sarah Palin trashing. I always enjoyed hearing him speak on Fox. Now I see he’s just another spineless shell of a man agreeing with his “brothers” instead of his party’s values.
This is going to be a long 4 years with Nobama as President and we need people on our side with a freaking spine.
Anybody got an email address for Hughley? Maybe we should flood him like we’re flooding Steele.
Hannity just said he talked with Steele and Steele said he spoke directly with Rush and “they are good”. I guess we’ll get Rush’s side of the story tomorrow.
Already on Hannity’s show right now leftist Doug Schoen is using Steele’s attack on Rush to show even the RNC disagree’s with Rush and Sean had to correct him with Steele’s apology.
It’s too late. Just like the media twisted Rush’s remarks about Nobama failing the media will now use Steele’s comments for a very long time.
Thanks Steele. You’ll get no money from my family and I.
Cantor and Steele both fell flat this weekend. It’s somewhat disheartening, but at least we know who CAN’T be relied on to step up big in the future.
Eventually, it will be the last woman or man standing, as the pretenders fall all over themselves trying to please
the libtard de jour.
How do you misspeak when you say someone’s views/speech/show/whatever are incendiary and ugly? What was he really trying to say when those words just misspoke out of his mouth—that Rush is insightful and inspiring? I think Steele got things accurate—accurate as in what his brain really thinks.
Do you think the GOP will learn that affirmative action didnt worked for them either? I doubt it.
They are all garbage. Steele is merely the latest one to confirm it.
President Bush did this, it didn't work. Being nice to ratcrats is the same as being nice to terrorists. They will still kill you and laugh at your being so dumb.
He needs a coach at the very least!
All who say Rush will accept are right, he will because of who he is. I hope this is a huge lesson learned for Steele. Hughley is NOT Hannity, going on Hannity, it's easy to look good. Till you get yourself a tougher spine Michael, stay away from Hughley types, stick with what you know.
That’s exactly what I don’t get. What Steele needs to do right now is make sure the base is there. The base is fired up right now BECAUSE of Rush and the fraud in office. Obama’s failed policies will take care of what is needed to put conservatives over the top. Steele is out there trying to pick up one vote while possibly losing two or more in the process.
DITTO!!
DITTO!!
Making Rush the face of the Republican party may be the only thing that saves it.
Steele apologizes to Rush. I love it!
Shows you two things:
1. Ideas trump pragmatism. “Conservatism” is the conceptual and ideological core of the GOP.
2. Rush is the de facto spokesman of the conservative movement.
Steele understands that — he was indirectly apologizing to us, as well as to Rush — but he does not identify himself as a “conservative.” He identifies himself as a “Republican.” Two different things.
Exactly right! Instead he labels conservative principles ugly and incendiary. Then he ends his apology with: "Look, I’m not in the business of hurting people’s feelings here. … My job is to try to bring us all together.”
WTF? Bring us all together? Does he mean liberals and conservatives? I don't think so Mr Steele. We want an attack dog. We want a killing machine. We want to see you to wipe the floor with liberal hides.
Do your job!
That’s pretty scary if a dumb comedian can throw him for a loop.
