Ronald Reagan quotes:
"We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." Ronald Reagan, 1965
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers. Ronald Reagan, CPAC address, 1975
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this [surrender], but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face--that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender.

I see the same problem that plagues election ballots across the country likewise plagues the RNC.
Anyone halfway decent has no interest in politics. This is the result.

“Republicans, as conservatives.”
Why aren’t both capitalized?

Aw gee! Since he's admitted that he learned from his mistakes, I suppose that makes it ALL BETTER.
It will be better when his RINO ass is down the road and somewhere else other than the RNC!

The reason people are mad is that we no longer are willing to accept the lie that we have to elect a political class the has no principles in order to win. The GOP is 60-70 % conservative and te largest political group is both socially and fiscally conservative. Most of America see big government as a problem and Steele and other Republican political insiders have been slow to get it. We aren’t going to settle any more for the constant slide towards socialism and liberty rending liberalism.

I thought I read the whole thing, but somehow I must have skipped over the part where he resigned.

Conservative isn’t capitalized because it isn’t a proper noun, unless it’s referring to the Conservative Party.

Okay.
But, does Steel mean it?
To: rabscuttle385
He means they didn’t learn anything from the ‘08 election? Losing the Presidency and both Houses taught them nothing?
Slow learners, these Republicans.

He admits he “made mistakes”, but doesn’t detail what those mistakes were, so we still don’t know what he’s talking about, could be anything from enjoying the highlife to the embarrasment of the $2000 Voyeur nightclub tab.
If only those were the most serious mistakes he’s made.....
Looks like both Steele and Tiger Woods, big mistake-admitters, are out there now at the same time, trying to
‘make the cut’. Ultimately I’m not sure either will make it.

The RNC has something very much in common with the DNC
They have absolutely no perception of the level of outrage We the People have for their unyielding arrogance and elitism.
The national mood will NOT calm down by November and the liberals and progressives in both parties will be unceremoniously thrown the hell out on their asses.

He admits he made mistakes, but doesnt detail what those mistakes were, I think he must mean the mistakes that led to delays in launching the $39.95 per year "Michael Steele 24/7" website, and mistakes with the ad campaign for Steele Cologne, the Republican Fragrance for Men.

Agreed, we want to see action, not just words. Words are cheap, and even then, what the RINO’s don’t say speaks as loud as what they do.
