Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good.
I appreciate Steele’s efforts.
This isn’t perfect nor the enemy of good
Steele has basically said he is willing to make the Republican party and along with that, conservatives, accomplices to the bankrupting of our nation
Medicare is bankrupting our nation. For 44 years we were able to at least say “hey, we are working to prevent this by making changes to Medicare”
No longer can we even do that
What efforts. Did you even read it? All he proposes here is that we keep things exactly as they are. Oh, he phrases it to highlight the disaster of the Democrat proposal and makes the GOP’s idea’s seem almost revolutionary. But all they really are is a re-statement of what the citizen’s in the townhalls have stated and what exists today. Well, almost. He proposes maintaining the status quo of big government as it is right now rather than expansion, while some of those protestors are urging less government.
All this tells me is that the GOP is trying to cash in on current sentiment but have no ideas of their own to offer probably because they can’t get the RINO’s to join the conservative platform and speak as one voice.
Which if they could pull it off and keep RINO’s like McCain from engineering another sell out and argue status quo while making it seem like a brand new idea? that would probably do them wonders politically if Democrat’s continue on their current self destructive course. Right now the public would take those who just do no more harm...sad commentary but true.
