I was initially hopeful, but his stance on RKBA and Affirmative Action is the same as Obama. I thought his stance on the 2nd Amendment was due to ignorance and just because he is unfamiliar with gun ownership, but recent quotes do not bear that out.
I left the Republican Party three days ago, when it dawned on me what the appointment of Steele really meant.
It means that instead of an organization based on conservative principles that would attempt to find suitable candidates for elective office, they are going to promote an organization based on pandering to various groups they think are important.
They are going to try to out-liberal the liberals, and it is never, ever going to work.
I joined the Libertarian Party the same time you left the Republican Party. And it wasn’t just because of Steele. Eric Cantor has had equal gaffes.
