For all the understandable skepticism, this is good news. Steele isn’t saying the RNC wants to take over the Tea Parties. He’s acknowlidging that the GOP has lost hundreds of thousands of members, if not millions to the Tea Parties and pandering to the left will not bring us back.
By Steele acknowledging the base has a big place at the GOP table, it puts country club republicans and the old guard on notice - accept us or we take you down.
This is a good first move - let’s see if Steele means what he says and understands exactly what the Tea Party Movement is about.
He has a chance, all be it a small one to make good on this - let us wait and see what his next move is.
I believe you are right Brytani at least that is what I’m hoping. The polls have been telling the GOP a long time that they were bleeding conservatives who can no longer find it in them to identify as Republicans. If the GOP can stop the hand-wringing and just be proud of what they say they believe and be willing to educate not equivocate the party will not only be revitalized it will also be unbeatable.
He has a chance, all be it a small one to make good on this - let us wait and see what his next move is.”
I will definitely be watching! He will either go along with the RINO elites or make the right choice! I want to see the “Drill Baby Drill” Michael Steele back again! Time will tell.
