Curious..why do they hate him?

I haven’t been keeping up with Steele lately.

I guess they think he’s too liberal—even when he agrees with them. I don’t know. I do know his job is to win elections for the Repubs and he’s doing that.

The RNC has become pretty much irrelevant over the past 10 years. The hard money donations dried up and it's all soft money now and there are many avenues for it to be put to work. Money is flowing unabated to aid Repubs, and if the RNC was disbanded tomorrow, it would not make a tinkers damn worth of difference.

As to Steele, he is a true Reagan repub. People attacking him today are simply mistaken as to his politics. Reagan never would have mounted a surge in a worthless country. I don't think he would have gone into Iraq. he would have used B-52s! The policy of the GOP until 9/11 and since 1951 was "No Nation Building! Ever Again!"

You see we tried it twice since 51 and got our asses handed to us politically! This country may well have the good intentions and the good will but it does not have the political will to nation build in a foreign land while loosing blood and treasure for very long and we have far exceeded that time limitation. We are just not good at it and the GOP right up to the day of 9/11 had a policy of not doing it. We even made Bush pledge he would never attempt it on our watch. Both Bush's.

Now we have done a major investment in Iraq, one that I think may well be worth it in the long term, but do we have the political will to reengage in Iraq to protect that investment?

I think not...... and if not we lose it all again.....

So it follows, after two failed attempts in Korea and S. Vietnam, a third may well fail and a fourth is underway, that the Republicans like myself who have been around for a while would be just a little bit reluctant to continue what appears to be political madness and do our best to try to lay this fourth failure at a democrat's feet rather than accept the blame for it politically again for the fourth time! Not that it matters who began it because we always have to take the heat for ending it

But hey! That is exactly what I heard Carl Rove do this morning on FOX. Steele tried to lay it on Obama and Rove attacked Steele a layed it back on Bush and the Republican Party.

This is bizzaroville. You don't win elections this way. But hey, I said the same thing in 2006.

Got any names of people he helped win?

I know Sarah has helped a few Republicans win.
