I don’t know why we are debating Michael Steele’s ideology. I’m not sure that he even has a firm ideology, and I don’t really care because that isn’t part of the job. His job is to raise MONEY. Remember Terry McCauliffe? Well, that’s the equivalent. Do you think that McCauliffe had any influence on Democrat policy during the Clinton years? I don’t think so. Michael Steele is the Republican equivalent of Terry McCauliffe.
I'm not really debating his ideology. I'm debating what his tactics to attract new voters should or shouldn't be. It should be the same basic conservative message for all, and maybe some extra effort to show how it would benefit those who do not yet subscribe. It should not include special appeals and special promises for specific groups, as we'll never win that pandering contest with the Dems.
