WASHINGTON – GOP Chairman Michael Steele thinks Republicans have "screwed up" for the most part in the years since Ronald Reagan was president. And, he adds in an interview on the heels of his new book's release, Republicans won't win back the House in fall elections and might not be ready to lead even if they do.

That forecast of failure sparked a pushback Tuesday at the GOP's own National Republican Congressional Committee, whose aim is to elect Republicans, and delight at its counterpart, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

I suggest he fall on his sword and resign immediately.

Can’t argue with him. As long as Steele is in charge, there is little chance for the GOP in 2010, even though there is a perfect storm out there for HUGE gains.

Steele has been very bad for the GOP.

It is too early to try to downplay expectations. Now is the time to ratchet them up and get people excited about the possibility of a takeover.

The MSM has been so twisting what Steele said to try and diminish the passion on the right.

He says this crap on a day that Rasmussen releases the latest generic congressional ballot: 'R' leads by +9%.

Were there not people who wanted this clown to run for president in 2008?

I think it's time to replace GOP Chairman Michael Steele.
I want someone who can lead, not cave. Someone who has a spine.

“GOP Chairman Michael Steele thinks Republicans have “screwed up” for the most part in the years since Ronald Reagan was president.”
