Could be.
Seems to me he (Steele) the ultimate middle-of-the-GROPe establishment - is now complaining that the tea Party and conservatives OUTSIDE the GROPe establishment must be resisted. That the GROPe must NOT become the image that the Tea Party is showing.
It would help to have articulate Republican leaders.
I would settle leaders with principle. What passes for leadership in the GOP is disgraceful; Boner, Cantor, McCarthy, Upton, McConnel, Cornyn, etc. The current GOP “leadership” roll is a list of spineless reprobates.
Agreed. Conservatives by themselves outnumber liberals as do moderates. There's no good reason to appeal to liberals whatsoever.
