I’m as mad as you are, but why not “screw Steele” rather than screw the GOP”? Let’s take our wrath out on Steele, specifically. Deluge him specifically with “either apologize and retract or resign” and don’t let up until the wiser heads in the GOP leadership have held his feet to the fire long enough to force him to crawl to Rush with his tail between his legs.

And if the rest of the GOP leadership won’t sit him down and have a “Dear Michael” talk with him and straighten him out, well, then, I agree, “Screw the GOP.”

But the first step is to try to turn this to our advantage—show our strength, bring Steele to his knees by our outcry, make it another nail in the coffin of RINO dominance in the GOP? Sure, it may not work. But politics is all about leveraging what can be leveraged. And Rush is a monster of a lever to employ here.

Awesome post at #68! My email to Steele is on its way. I'll call the switchboard too.

“I’m as mad as you are, but why not “screw Steele” rather than screw the GOP”? Let’s take our wrath out on Steele, specifically.”

Unfortunatly, this is becomming a pattern with the GOP. The “appeal to the moderates/swing-voters” crowd consistently runs down the base of the party.
