LITTLETON, Colo. - Republicans better stop whining and start thinking of new electoral strategies to return to prominence, the new head of the Republican National Committee said Friday.

"I’m tired of seeing the same old, same old," RNC Chairman Michael Steele told about 750 Republicans at a party dinner in suburban Denver. "I’m tired of hearing the same old arguments. I’m tired of hearing the complaining."

The same old, same old is handing the nomination to RINO's like McCain or Bob Dole because it is "their" turn. The new is giving us exciting candidates like Sarah Palin or Mark Sanford who can actually explain our message.

Mr. Steele, if you need any help in this department, ask Ken Blackwell who actually understands our values, what we stand for and what we should represent. You know, the guy you barely beat out because some of us thought you were a better communicator.

Of the many disappointments I have had with the shambles of the Conservative movement, Steele is the deepest.

Mr. Steel has not lived up to his name.

GOP chief Steele: ‘We lost our minds’

Indeed - They put you in charge.

He’s pretty terrible with choosing soundbite-friendly words:

“If you want to complain and moan and groan about everything going on,” Steele said, “there’s the door... We started drinking from that wonderful Potomac River” when in charge of Congress and the White House, Steele joked. “We got that Potomac fever, and we lost our minds.”

He sorta seems to be showing RINOs the door, but the statement is painfully ambiguous. I’m thinking Steele shouldn’t EVER open his mouth in public until he learns a LOT more about the press.

Steele is part of the same old, same old and that hasn’t worked. Conservatism works every time its tried. Singing the Wizard of Oz song: If he only had a brain!

"I’m tired of seeing the same old, same old," RNC Chairman Michael Steele told....

Thank you.

GOP politicians who think RINO’s represent a winning strategy have lost their minds. Conservative republicans haven’t.

“”We started drinking from that wonderful Potomac River” when in charge of Congress and the White House, Steele joked. “We got that Potomac fever, and we lost our minds.””

His comments really don’t seem all that controversial—I don’t think we can argue with the above, for example. This certainly isn’t another Limbaugh moment for Steele.

Rab, thanks for the laugh. He is no doubt a RINO of the first degree.

Actually I think republicans have lost another body part, balls.
