After guiliani and paul had their debate conflict Steele said that, meaning the RP campaign was 'done' as in over, finito. he couldn't have been more wrong because it was THAT altercation that ignited a ton of his support (including mine)

I was going mention it too. It was after the South Carolina GOP primary debate on May 15, 2007...the one where Paul and Giuliani had their infamous squabble over blowback, Iraq and 9/11.

Afterwards, on Hannity & Colmes on Fox News, Steele said something like: "and Ron Paul, for me, it's done;" meaning Steele was personally writing Paul off as a candidate based on his debate comments with Giuliani.

He won't be setting policy. His job is to draw more voters to the party. He's a good spokesman and makes uh Barry ummm look like uhhh inarticulate uhhmm idiot.

He was pretty good about RP during the chairman debate.

I don't like this poll. There's enough of that collectivism, Uncle Tom accusations and "the GOP are pandering" shit going around the lefty blogs!

Should they not have elected him just because he's black, in fear they would be accused of the same pandering?

You can't win with collectivist scum.

Don't you think that he at least deserves a chance to do something. Thinks have changed in the last two years since his statement. And Steele was right the blowback talk did for all intense and purposes ended any chance of Congressman Paul winning the nomination. The conversations I had with other republicans all sounded the same. "I liked everything he(Paul) said except when he stated that we invited 9/11.

"We're going to say to friend and foe alike: We want you to be a part of us, we want you to with be with us, and for those who wish to obstruct, get ready to get knocked over," Steele said.

WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN?!

I wondered the same thing and I have to admit, my first thought was that he was talking about US.

"That's Crazy" Is how he spoke of Ron Paul's blow-back facts in the SC debate video. To me the video from South Carolina and the vid from the Chairman questioning session shows me he's sold out his soul. Paid professional panderer.

Here's a little poster I made this week in tribute to the GLOOM, DESPAIR and AGONY the GOP has gifted us....

I say give him a chance. I liked his comments at the chairman debate. And notice, at the First in the South, he said "For me." So, he at least had enough humility to qualify his negativity.

So, the RNC candidates were asked what they would do to bring Ron Paul people into the party. Steele's answer was frankly the best. He mentioned specifically that he wanted to work closely with Ron Paul. Others, like Saul Azunis and Duncan spoke in more general terms - which suggested they liked the idea of a wider party, but NOT the idea of working with Paul specifically.

Look, the GOP is down. They need us and Steele knows it.

If we want to be influential, to get off the internet and get into the real game, this election is a great opportunity for us.

His election is irrelevant. GOP, Dems, etc., will always remain the same. Just a new face on old policies.

He is indeed a neocon shill, but so are most of the GOP officials and "the base." This guy Steele is just one of them.

Nonstory in my opinion.

mr. steele's election mush have alan keyes kicking himself once again. i do admit the
"its done" remark will haunt him for the next decade, however if mr. steele is quietly trying
to boost sarah palin's hypothetical future bid, he's going to have to mend bridges as he extends
an olive branch. i think its the democrat top-heavy aspect of the senate giving obama an
almost filibuster-proof string of successes that has the RNC trying a discrete new direction
that does not immediately slap g.w bush or his neo-cons in the face. alan keyes just saw
the governor of illinois loosing his seat in a big way via 59-0 vote and yes, blago~dude
being on the VIEW only made this go along at a faster velocity. i think its the quietly mended
bridges that mr. steele has in mind that has him hoping the G.O.P picks up 2010 seats...

My opinion on Michael Steele is let's give the guy a chance. We know what he said after the South Carolina debate about Ron, but I still wanna give the guy a chance to reach out to all of us. He's now the Chairman of the party. If he truly wants to help bring a lot of the disaffected Republicans and independents back to the party, he will work with our liberty minded activists.

When watching Steele I get the feeling that he would love to have our support, and know how to energize the youth, but he can't bring himself to question his policies. He wants to know what he can get the government to do to win us over - he doesn't understand that we want the government to do nothing to win anybody over. The Constitution lays it out: the government exists to protect the rights of the people, not to make people happy and bring them into your flock.

If Steele drops the inanity of partisan bickering and statist doling, and starts promoting the aspects of the GOP that want to strip the government's power to have a deficit, control a standing and active military, and limit personal choices, then I will consider supporting more GOP members. Right now, I can only support one GOP representative. If the rest of the party starts looking at what attracted people to Rep. Paul, they will see that it wasn't any ploy, nor misdirection, nor promises of handouts - it was a commitment to restoring Liberty.


Mr. Steele, as the GOP chairman, please pick up the reading list that Rep. Paul submitted to neo-con poster boy Giuliani (who still, despite not even having any political value, gets 10 second spots on CNN-Radio to play "controlled opposition" to the new majority), and then we'll see if I can stomach promoting the GOP as an entity.

The RLC endorsed him during his run for the Maryland seat.

Like it or not, if we want to win any elections we need to not only rebuild bridges, but cross over a few also.

rebuild what bridges?? the former gop leadership and the current gop leadership ,blew them all up and continued to blow them up while we tried to build them!! trusting the gop is like trusting the nazi's.


we are 8-20 yrs away from changing the gop. they just elected the very same leadership that we wanted ousted from the party.

DREAM AWAY, Welcome to the TWILGHT ZONE.

I will continue to fight for Liberty,but there is no such term to describe that word in the gop!

if you guys think Steele will save this party. Then your living in a fantasy world.

THE GOP= MORE OF THE SAME

After being a republican for the last few yrs. i think i need an ENEMA to remove the fowl stinch of the gop from my bowels!! i think i need to visit the clinic to ,so they can test me for the new strain of gop!! a deadly disease known to cause ALIENATION similar to leprosy

Yup.

Steele will do fine. He has a high media profile and is very well-spoken. No one even knew who the hell Duncan was.

Here's Steele's "Blueprint (http://www.steeleforchairman.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=124)" (7 chapters).

Here he is addressing House Republicans today (http://www.gop.com/news/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=cfa94494-f219-41e9-a7b7-738c649c7515) thanking them for voting NAY on Barry's Big Boondoggle.

steele is the dirty slime on top of the scum of the gop. the only motivation steele gives me is to remove the r next to my name!!!

RNC CHAIR=FAILED the best option for RNC CHAIR was NONE OF THE ABOVE!!

The reason the SC debate is relevant is that last time, when push came to shove, Steele pushed the chosen frontrunners/standard GOP line. During the next primary season, he will push the next chosen frontrunners/standard GOP line. Period, over and out. As much as I have suspicions about Mark Sanford, he would have been a better choice to be RNC Chair, as he is a bridge to both sides of the party divide (the standard liners vs. the Paul Republicans). But Steele can't even speak the liberty movement's language, let alone understand it.

WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN?!

Why would you say to friend and fow alike that you want them to be part of your party? Why would you want people opposed to your ideas to be in the party?

Complete rubbish
