This is EXATLY why all americans want
to clean out the house and senate
And get rid of ALL of the politiicians

They dont have to balls to do the right thing
They now are also so corrupt they refuse to identify evil
They really think that we will just vote them back in
because they are crappy republicans..

Im serious i also want a third party..
I am sick to death of the corrupt republicans..
i am scared to death of the traitorous democrats..

I want a third party with a viable candidate..

Not a surprize. Someone needs to tell the GOP they’re done.

I understand tailoring your words to your audience, but this goes beyond that. It is pandering and that is a sign of weakness. We don’t need weakness at the RNC right now. We need the kind of strength that people can depend on. I’m not seeing that here.

Exit questions:

If a New Whig party forms (under any name), who will run on the ticket? And will they get more than 20% of the vote?

The GOP (not to be confused with “we”) is doing the same thing with this talentless liberal schmuck that the Dems are doing with O’Bozo: affirmative action and the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Steele would have a hard time getting my vote for Illinois Governor out of a crowded field in the GOP primary. He’s not a conservative, and he exhibits no particular talent for anything.

~~she~~Choose your prominent conservative voice and insert here wants to make sure that the bad apples are thrown out.”

Mr Steele could have said the same thing in support of a lot of other conservatives. Can you imagine him defending Rush, Hannity, Glen, Michelle, or Joe Wilson by saying "They just want to make sure the bad apples are thrown out of congress!" RINO's will say nicer things about libs than they will about those supposedly on their own side.

There was a time in our land that the Republican Party was made up of people with strong principles. In fact it was founded by people that were willing to give up much, to support those principles.
While rank & file member may still have strong principles to support, to the actual party apparatchik it’s become no more than a corporate job. Those members care more for the corporate pay check & benefits, than any principle.

I think something has been taken out of context here. I get all this email stuff from Steele etc and they have been sending me something about ACORN being very naughty and all that.

His remarks do not make sense to be applauding her.
Are Steele and ACORN chief Bertha Lewis personal friends?
Is Steele trying to set up a deal for ACORN to work for Republican candidates?

But during a speaking appearance in the days between issuing those two statements, Steele had kind words for ACORN and its CEO, Bertha Wilson, who happened to be guiding that so-called damage control

Aha! I’m sure he agrees that Bertha Lewis is a rotten apple. Thank you CNN for your fine investigative reporting! Why, if not for you we’d know nothing about this Bertha Wilson person.

That’s it.

I’m officially for dumping Steele.

Where’s Ken Blackwell?

Where’s Anuzis?

We need to get somebody who KNOWS the VISION and DOES NOT DEVIATE for any reason.

The RNC is a fundraising job primarily.

It’s called giving credit where credit is due. ACORN is dead as an organization. It’s over.

That doesn’t mean she didn’t handle it well.

But even so, it’s one thing to soft-pedal your criticism — e.g., “I’m sure there are plenty of fine, well-meaning people there” — and another to, um, lie. What happened?
