In fact this entire thread is nearly fictitious. It’s based very largely on overblown views (in some cases massively overblown) of what Michael Steele is actually trying to say. If we can’t accept that we can be principled, conservative, and expansive as a party/movement then I’d like to hear a plausible alternative for our future.
Thank you.
I can't figure out why people can't understand the need to convince more people of the rightness of conservative principles--which is the exact opposite of being a RINO or becoming liberal, despite the foolish comments of those who can't understand. Where are we to get new voters from if not from the ranks of those who presently DON'T vote our way?
I think it's just too much work for people to get informed about conservative values and then communicate with others and convince them of the truth. Much easier to shout "We don't talk to them RINOs" and sit back, pleased with ourselves, while those potential conservatives look elsewhere.
I figured that was a no-brainer. Apparently that's too much for some folks to grasp.
