Kudos to you Michael. Now stand tall and proud. Be strong and push conservative principles. Do not falter and do not shrink from the fight against Obama and the Democrats.
Steele’s sister was once married to Mike Tyson. Kind of hard to believe because she is an accomplished pediatrician. This is the best nay-sayers can do in here. Steele is not perfect, but he is a giant step in the right direction.
I'm with you ET. And thanks, too, for your ping list.
Kristinn could probably direct you to it, wasn’t he in the middle of the whole thing?
Yep, the zer0 task force is on HIGH ALERT & has been ordered into damage control mode
I agree... and no matter how much people complain, the ratings on FOX are huge and growing by leaps and bounds.
Who is that? Tyson always managed to marry nice women for some reason.
I just hope he can find enough vertabrates in the GOP to support him and the conservative cause to get something done.
the is spin because the DNC is very afraid of Mike's message....verbally and even his existence.....He's is proof that their victim-hood ideology is pure bunk.
>> Absolutism is the sure way to destruction. <<
With the media 100% behind the Democrats, and the cartoonish impression of the GOP as kleptocratic billionaires, the GOP needs to provide reasons for people to distrust those “poor, sincere, honest, community activists” who “feel their pain,” and vote for that mean, old, nasty bad guy.
Simply being a bit more wishy-washy on all the issues that the Democrats come off as strident on doesn’t cut it.
Republcians have to be able to say, “If elected, I will fight for your values on [fill in the blank].” If the voters want liberalism, they’ll vote for people who believe in liberalism, liberals. They won’t vote for the guy who’s really one of those big, bad, meanies but pretends to be a liberal to get elected.
And, yes, we know the opposite is true, that Republicans tend to be moderates and liberals who pretend they are conservative to get elected, and its the Democrats who represent the all-opwerful government and its power to corrupt and enrich, but we’ve got to confront our public image.

What’s so ironic about this statement is that it’s what said immediately before the Republican party “adapts” to changing attitudes and is never heard from again.
Thank you for visiting the website of It’s My Party Too (IMP-PAC). We are pleased to announce that we have recently joined forces with other prominent national Republicans, including Senator John Danforth, Governor Tom Ridge, and Lt. Governor Michael Steele, and have reenergized the Republican Leadership Council.
Our goals and commitment to returning the Republican Party to its roots are the same, but we are doubling our efforts and expanding our base of support!

Thank you,
Governor Christine Todd Whitman

Rudy: GOP Becoming “Ideologically Narrower”
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said that the Republican Party is becoming ideologically and geographically narrower, and said that social issues have driven away many former GOP voters.
Giuliani said the Republicans must learn how to again become competitive in states like California, New York, and Illinois — particularly in those states’ suburban communities — during an interview with the conservative website The New Majority.
“We have to deliberately have a policy of running candidates that can win in the New Yorks, the Californias, the Illinois, and in the satellite states,” Giuliani said. “We have to be able to emphasize the issues that are of concern to the voters, and not alienate them on issues that just don’t work in certain parts of the country.”
Giuliani said that means running candidates who are more centrist on social issues like gay rights and abortion, while maintaining a stronger focus on fiscal, military, and foreign policy stances.
“Those are issues on which we can get a majority of the American people, if we don’t drive them away with the social issues,” the onetime Republican presidential nominee said. He added that electoral math does not support the idea that Republicans would have won the 2008 election had they been more conservative.
“Our base is our base, and is not getting bigger. If anything, it’s getting smaller,” Giuliani stated. “[Democrats] focused on their broadest organizing principles, and left room for disagreement, whereas we focused on our narrowest organizing principles and didn’t leave room for disagreement.”
Too many here call anyone with a different opinion than them on any issue a RINO.
Excellent news!
Maybe so, but that's what it is. See for yourself at the following site for a transcript of Meet The Press that Steele was a guest of on 10-29-2006.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15473528/page/15/
The transcript continues into page 16 with Russert pressing Steele on Roe vs. Wade. Steel, citing stare decisis, ultimately admits that he favors leaving Roe vs. Wade in place.
It would have been very simple, given Russert's questioning, for Steele to have taken a definitive stance. Read the transcript and then tell me that Steele isn't squishy-soft on abortion...
By the way, that's an untruth worthy of the Carvillian Democrats that you're imitating.
He was my 3rd choice but I’m glad Duncan lost.
I wish him luck.
Steele is a great choice. He is not a moderate as the media is trying to divide us. He is anti-Abortion, he opposed gay rights initiatives while lieutenant governor in MD, and he is fiscally conservative. The only place he falls short is on affirmative action.
Outstanding, this is exactly the leadership that this party needs .... God Speed.
Most who disagree I find supported Ron Paul. lol
Who was the FIRST Black American to head the DEMOCRAT party? Just can’t remember...
