[SolidWood]

This white Republ... scratch that... Conservative is scared of your RINOism and lack of spine Mr Steele.

[SIDENET]

Steele: White Republicans are scared of me

[dtrpscout]

He is not liked by me because he is a RINO (the un-conservative).

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Actually, Mike, a lot are aggravated with you and some are exercising forbearance because they really, really wish you would be all that you can be. I really wouldn't call it fear as much as aggravation.

[yarddog]

I think the more correct word is disgusted.

SHEESH STEELE! BLACK REPUBLICANS ARE AFRAID OF YOU!

Time to go STeele. Get out along with all the other idjit RINOs. The Republican party is now no place for "progressives."

[mo]

Black is really, truly. the least of what is frightening about Michael Steele. He and his ideological compatriots are children at war....not intellectually or physically mature enough to get done what needs to be done. The last such “mature” Pubbie was Tom Delay.

STEELE: Education and the economy. Education and jobs. Education and small business.

Drop the Education part Mr RINO and put in spending, taxes and Energy Independence in their place and you might be on to something

But then you would have to actually mean it, not just say it.

‘they’ve been scared of me. I’m like, “I’m on your side”’

Aaaaahh, so THAT’S what’s really meant. They’re gunshy of blacks because they know they’re THE most monolithic “group” voting bloc on the planet. Lord knows I’m scared to death to talk to blacks about politics, because 90% chance they’ll be communists-in-the-closet who’ll jump down your throat as “racist” for being Republican.

I have to clearly see a black person is outwardly conservative to talk this way. Happened this past year when I went to pick up KFC food and an older black couple was there - in T-shirts saying they want our Repub ex-gov back. Well I just had to start talking to them. Without it I’d never make a remark near politics.

So yes, we’re scared, but not the way this is made out to be. We’re cowards.

But with Steele, he scares me because he’s typical MD GOP - half-baked GOP.

Because Michael, there is such a thing as a Black Rino

[Servant of the Cross]

This guy is as gaffe-prone as a certain Vice President.

No Michael, conservatives are not scared of you. You've just made it too obvious that you are all too willing to compromise conservative principles.

[Brytani]

Oh go self copulate Steele.

[seanrobins]

OK... is everyone done with this jacka** yet?

[Dahoser]

You’re absolutely right. I mean I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me. I’m like, “I’m on your side” and so I can imagine going out there and talking to someone like you, you know, [you're like,] “I’ll listen.” And they’re like “Well.” Let me tell you. You saw in Christie and you saw in McDonnell a door open because they went in and engaged. McDonnell was very deliberate about spending –

Leaving aside the annoying like stuff (I'm like/they're like), Steele is telling us that Christie and McDonnell won because they are white guys who aren't afraid of him? Sheesh.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Afraid? In what dream world is this clown living? What he senses is “White Folks” controlling their tongues.
