I saw a post this a.m. saying that some members had received an email from Steele asking them for suggestions on which way the GOP should go (and asking for money, of course). I encourage anyone who replies to that email to remind Steele of the wise words of Thomas Jefferson.

His wisdom applies just as much today, if not more so, as it did then... "These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." - Thomas Jefferson

The American people are starving for this type of leadership! The question remains, do we have anyone who even comes close to being able to fill these shoes?

Steele should resign. He said he would fight for every seat. Ask chicagolady about that. He’s done nothing but pander to the media, attack Limbaugh, and now he seeks a ‘consensus’ on what to do.

Thats not leading.

Steele is a joke. Steele must resign.

Not a copper for the RNC!!

I once had an interesting conversation with a Jefferson scholar on whether he would still be a Jeffersonian Republican today or a Federalist. It seems that a key part of Jefferson’s view of the nation was that voters were informed and tied to their community (Jefferson loved farmers). Seems to be the opposite for many today.

I’m always amazed by Jefferson’s simple brilliance.

If I were to draw parallel time lines between Jefferson’s period and ours, I’d say we’re at about 1760. We need to do more work in establishing a political base amongst the local and state governments.

The tea parties are a good first step, but the calls to roll the guillotine down Pennsylvania Avenue are too soon, although I admire Americans itching for a fight now; they are the point of the spear in our imminent clash with the Tories in Washington. Further, we need to set up a modern equivalent of the Sons of Liberty. We are not ready yet to take on King Goerge obama III. But neither is the ghetto thug ready to take on the American patriots.

We are at a draw right now. Patient organization will reward us with the edge and comittment to throw the rascals out of our house.
