YES!
Steele is an excellent choice.
Gingrich and Fred Thompson should do what they do best ... take to TV and radio and shout about conservatism for the next two years as often as they can.
It would be good (if it could get on TV) for one or both of them to do a series like Fred Friendly did years ago on the issues, something like Ethics in America.
And how well did Michael Steele work out as head of GOPAC? How many new young candidates was he able to recruit and promote to a win in any campaign?
I like him as a person, and I respect his conservative values, but I doubt if he can do what the RNC desperately needs to do to get into the age of the internet, and the age of ACORN.
Google Michael Steele “on the issues”.
I couldn’t find his stance on Global Warming, a deal killer for me for any “Republican” who buys this scam.
Some disturbing news about Assault Weapons though, here’s Michael Steele’s quote on Assault Weapons from the “on the issues” website.
Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?
A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.
Let me get this straight. Newt who, after a dem opeative illegally recorded him saying things he allegedly was not supposed to be saying, cut and ran. He is now running for RNC Chairman. Then a fella named steele pops from Delaware viing for the same job or cojob or whatever. A pubbie who manages to win an elected office in Delaware is nothing more than a moderate democrat—same as Romney, former Massachusettes governor.
How exactly am I, a conservative, supposed to feel good about that.
Come on folks. The GOP just got creamed because it (1) refuses to run conservative candidates and (2) does not support pubbies who try to oppose the democrats.
It is beginning to appear to me that Free Republic is more a refuge for RINOs than conservatives.
