Steele didn't lose "informed Conservatives".

He did lose the people who sneak around reading soft-core porn like GQ and lapping up all the cr*p their Leftwingtard reporters write there.

Best if folks who read American Family Association materials just dropped their subscriptions to GQ if you ask me. That stuff'll rot your brain.

I don’t read GQ, but he lost me (after reading threads here quoting his comments).

That's pretty snarky of you. Most of us have never seen a GQ, save for some magazine stand. We know of it because of all the press it has gotten.

Steele is welcome to say anything he wants, and I like the guy, as a person. But he should never, as the leader of the RNC, say anything that is against party platform. And he should know better than that. Sadly, he has put himself in the position of mistrust.

But don't snipe at people or call them names for standing up for their values and principles, ok? I refuse to bash Steele, but I did expect better of him. Still, no matter I personally feel, the party platform is what it is, and the chairman should not speak against it. Reality is what it is.
