Speaking of something I’m tired of, Mike......

[GeronL]

Republicans better stop whining and start thinking of new electoral strategies to return to prominence, the new head of the Republican National Committee

what?????

Steele !! thats why you got that job!! YOU SAID YOU WOULD CAMPAIGN AND FIGHT FOR EVERY SEAT. Thats why you got the job....

and you pawn it off on us???

[GeronL]

the man is a joke

[Vigilanteman]

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.

GOP chief Steele: ‘We lost our minds’

Indeed - They put you in charge.

[dangus]

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.

"We got that Potomac fever, and we lost our minds."

[Road Warrior ‘04]

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!

[Doogle]

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

...your strategy of going against Rush didn't work moron, if your tired, give up and move on, get out of the &*$^%#@ way......if anyone is whining it's you. (my next return envelope to the RNC is going to say.."DUMP STEELE, AND GROW A SPINE!!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

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

That link didn’t work for me — this one does:

“”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.

[stockpirate]

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.

[RJL]

GOP chief Steele: ‘We lost our minds’

They've also lost guys like me. I've been voting almost straight line Republican since I became eligible to vote in 1973.

I'm voting conservative, if the Republicans want to run conservatives I'll happily vote for them, but no more rinos or moderates.

Living in Minnesota, so far only my local state Rep and Senator fill the bill.

[calcowgirl]

"If you want to complain and moan and groan about everything going on," Steele said, "there’s the door."

So, criticism, disagreement, or discussion about the future is no longer tolerated in Steele's GOP?

Is this the equivalent of McCain's "Shut up and take it"?

Why doesn't he just say

"All mindless sheep who will vote as they are told are welcome--everyone else, get lost"

[MinuteGal]

He's really getting off on the left foot, isn't he!

His job is to shut his mouth, work quietly on healing divisions.....AND DON'T AIR ALL THE DIRTY LAUNDRY IN PUBLIC!

The enemy is the Obama mafia, NOT Republicans and conservatives who may be (rightfully) complaining, you moron.

Steele has no finesse. A chairman's job needs finesse. The clumsy-looking, mindless, charging rhino at the top of the thread is an adequate representation of what we're stuck with.
