Sooner or later, folks will be forced to acknowledge reality..
1. Clean, neat, articulate folks in suits with Ivy League Degrees - aren’t necessarily competent for the job they seek.
Lawyers, Community Organizers and Racists ESPECIALLY fall into this category.
2. It is far more important to look at a person’s past accomplishments, achievements and behavior than to accept that person’s promise of future performance.
3. With some folks, “blood” IS thinker than an oath or handshake.
I appreciate your comment. He certainly needs to raise the bar. To see the way the CNN host was manipulating Steele so easy was just horrible. Hughley heaps praise on him and speaks about his new level of respect for Steele. Steele's response was a pie eyed nod in agreement. Hughley could have had him agreeing to recreational drug use in the Whitehouse if he wanted.
OK now that I got that out. I'll take your advice and put him on notice....agreed?
All that and he is sorry for the trip to the woodshed that Rush verbally took him to.
“Hey Steele, what were you doing on that loopy show in the first place? Ya lay down with dogs.... “
Just helping out a brutha. I’m telling you, unless blacks start seeing themselves as men, and not blacks, then nothing will change.
BOY! WE ARE SO SCREWED! WHAT part of UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED we FALL doesn’t he UNDERSTAND....UGHHHH...sorry for the rant, but I’ve HAD IT!!! Steele fell right into the mediapukeSNAKES trap with both feet in first!!
>>>>> Lesson for everyone in the RNC: you don’t attack your base! <<<<<<
First, with all due respect please don’t use the word “base” when “voters”, “supporters”, “members”, “constituents”, or even “other Republicans” will work just as well.
The term “base” is a highly insulting marketing term designed to reduce fellow Republicans and conservatives into some kind of amorphous statistical abstraction, which is exactly and precisely the problem the RNC has been having for many years now. When we are “the base”, we’re no longer thinking and autonomous fellow conservatives. (You don’t want to hear my theories of anthropology, linguistics, and mass communications.)
In any case....
For the last decade or two the RNC has had an increasingly difficult time being responsive to standard unhyphenated normal conservatives.
I don’t know what the solution to that is, but insulting Rush goes in the exact and precise opposite direction of “success”.

You need to direct that to Steele, not the Freepers.
I think that any “caucasion” that has Native American heritage has more of a right to be pissed of than AAs. That’s just me, though.
It was a mistake for him to apologize for that very reason.
Watch the next wave of attack by the Dems/Soros/DBM.
This is a very bad sign. It betrays a lack of conservative principals common among Republican "moderates" who like to go along to get along e.g.: Dole, McCain, etc. The kind who are actually embarrassed by Reagan conservatives and so stab them in the back when they can.
Rush has not been a GOP soldier, lately.
As a card carrying member of the Citizen Band Potawatomi Nation, I can rightfully be pissed. :->
“I was maybe a little bit inarticulate”
Isn’t one of the primary functions of his job to be articulate with the message of the party?
MS is a joke, apology or not.
This is merely damage control.
Steele just man up. You got with one of the brothers and put down the rich white guy. It is over for you. Resign now and you will not be banished from the land. DIRT BAG!
I think base is appropiate, maybe you understand some different than I do... “base” are for me the average conservative citizens who are the backbone and fundament of the society and the Conservative movement. We work, we fight, we pay. “Base” because we are different from the Country club Pubbies, the Washington hacks and pseudo-intellectual RINOs. It’s simple semantics... base is for me synoymous with backbone, bedrock, fundament... Rush listeners are the base of Conservatism...
