If I worked at the DNC all my commercials leading up to the mid terms would star Michael Steele. I think Kristol got this one right:http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/07/calls_for_steeles_resignation.html
The Dems will gleefully frame it are a pro-life attack on a black man. They will use it to great effect as they have in the past and scare the hell out of the independents who have left Obama. They will make it a emotional issue and say that "if you elect these human rights grabbin republicans that they will take all your rights away just as they have tried to do in the past. Protect the working man, the black man and especially the poor and downtrodden women who we fight for everyday."
Just let this die, and He will likely shutup and not be seen again except for written missives cleared by the board. Then he will be gone after November.
It's too early to be positioning for 2012, and that is what Rove, Cheney and I suspect some others will be doing. I would not be surprised if more of the old guard come out of the woodwork and attack Steele. But remember that Krystol, who I heard referred to as a conservative today on FOX, is not a conservative. His entire sch-tick, like his fathers, is all foreign policy as it affects Israel, and nothing more or less. When he occasionally leaves his area of expertise, he is a progressive. Steele is more of a Conservative then he will ever be, but Steele can't defend himself right now and this forum is certainly not a place that would listen anyway. He has been on the black list since his Eastern views on social issues made the papers in 2009.
I can tolerate him because we are more in agreement then not, but there is not any one Republican on either coast that I would say agrees with me on everything.
In fact, there is maybe six in my state. Maybe less.
But, he is a Reagan type, and I know it hurts conservatives to accept it, but Reagan was not nearly as conservative as they make him out to be on this forum. In fact if he were alive today they would call him a RINO.
