Us” meaning the GOP, of course. I appreciate his willingness to beat himself up in the name of regaining the public’s trust, but, er, is the man of Steele being perhaps a bit too self-deprecating here? Even Beck’s taken aback by the brutal candor of it (but in a good way!)

Couldn’t remember the name of the show.

I guess if it’s not a real overt attack and accomplishes the same goal, Arlen can whine till the cows come home.

“Politicians and honor are two things that rarely meet...”

Truer words were never said.

Michael Steele: "You have no reason to trust us at this point"

Admitting the problem is only the start of the healing process. The GOP has a long way to go to make up ground lost throughout the first half of the decade. The house and most of the Senators took the first step, and Steele took the second. 2 steps isn't enough to discern definite direction but it's a start.

Recognizing the problem is the first step toward correcting it. He gets it. We are at the turning of the tide. 2010 tells the tale.

Dear Mr. Steele,

Having voted Republican all for all 30+ years of my adult life and having worked in numerous elections at the local, county, state and national level, I feel I am qualified to say one or two things about the state of the Republican Party . . .

You suck.

Unfortunately, you are currently the only game in town. Please do not be so foolish as to assume that privilege for long. If you do not reform ASAP, you will permanently lose your base.

We are America. We are the ones that go to work, innovate, save, serve in the armed forces and pay the onerous taxes that our national fifth column endlessly enacts. We are rapidly approaching a limit to our good will and faith in the leadership this country offers and we will not tolerate continued forbearance with people like Specter, Snowe and Collins.

We plead with you. We beg you. We appeal to the better angles of your nature . . .

Bring us change we can believe in - bring back the unashamed defense of America, our Constitution and the ideals of liberty and freedom that we all are longing for.

At all costs, do NOT repackage some lame flock of speech that touts Americanism and delivers compromise and preserves big government and the tyranny it brings.

These times and these lines may be your last warnings. Please consult the word and works of our Founders for the guidance you will need in these most perilous times.

As loyal Americans, we plead with you and pray for wisdom as you approach your duties. The blood and loyalty of all true Americans goes with you. We pray that you serve this generation - and all of those that have gone before - with the same clarity, passion and zeal that inspired men (and women) to lay down their lives.

With all of my sincerest wishes,

Working Class Filth

Wrong answer. A weak flank is better than no flank at all. Their time will come.

That's what I think. When Hussein is finished, it will take more than political opposition to get it back, if it's even possible. The rats aren't funding ACORN for no reason, and why would the census, of all things in this economy, be a priority to a new administration if they weren't rapidly consolidating their lock on power

and you get to hear the talk jocks talk all day while the commies are in action. Yea, Michael, throw these 3 Senators out. A vote is a vote - its result is the same from either in the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel".

[mojitojoe]

Steele, you can rest assured I don’t trust you and you won’t get a dime from me. Now you appear after going underground until the socialist bill passed. Screw you Michael Steele.

Mr. Steele is blowing his options right out of the gate if he doesn’t clamp down with serious reforms (defund Specter, Collins, Snow) and show some teeth. Unless that happens, the country clubbers will continue to run the show by offering @sshats like Jeb. IMO, Sarah needs to seriously consider a third party run. If she does, several things happen ;

1. Conservatives will have a home. Fact is, they don’t at this time. For several decades we’ve all been in thralldom to CC pubbies and (to some degree) we’ve known it. However, it was the only game in town so we have served it well - treason and betrayal at the top is not our fault. My personal suggestion for Sarah’s new party name would be: The No-Bull Moose Party.

2. A focused message and solid party agenda will serve our cause than any ‘big tent’ ideals ever could. I think that on-target information and positions can even punch through MSM static and gub’mint anti-1A “reforms.” It will also allow the pubbies to serve as a foil or contrast of institutional ineffectualism and compromise in the face of an imminent, concerted and well-armed enemy.

3. Even losses will solidify and grow a conservative party message. Losers like Michael Medved and long-time pubbies will decry this suggestion, but the reality is that the time is too late and our current party system too weak to meet the crisis. Think Titanic at 1:00 AM and imagine some fool trying to minimize individual actions and tell people that ‘authorities are going to bring help.’ Conservatives are, by definition, individualists and dilution of our principles to save them is not only illogical but positively anathema to them. Clarity of ideals and value of Liberty, set forth in consistent ways, will rally followers and heretofore party dolts to the real core of Americanism.

4. With a growing bank of solid conservative material, traditional barriers like race, gender and faith could be swept aside in a tidal wave of obviousness. For example, in the last election, my local races featured two black women against RAT candidates. In both races, the MN GOP declined help because the races were losers so money would be misspent. In conservative circles, we have a whole army of women, minorities and multi-faith candidates. A ticket composed of Palin/Jindal for example. In fact, the case for sexism and racism endemic in the RAT party could finally be brought home by minorities alone.

5. Conservative money would flow in torrents precisely because we’d know it was being used as meant. Even if I back a loser, I still know my principles are being sent forward. With the pubbies, every dime spent goes into an increasingly compromised RAThole. Sooner or later, bigger monies from businesses and institutions desiring greater liberty would be withdrawn from the main game in town (i.e., the RATs and the pubbies).

6. As things continue to deteriorate, this option only gets better and better for Americans seeking direct action and straight talk. Conversely, as things worsen, our Marxist enemies in the RAT party can only sharpen their focus and alienate more traditional RAT minions because the true nature of the RAT party becomes impossible to embrace. Consequently, things become more and more untenable for the bogus parties in the middle trying to pretend they’re something they’re not. If a conservative contender emerges from the status quo first, the new territory is theirs to define and command.

[mojitojoe]

I am almost convinced that the Republican party is a dead duck. My view is lets all quit the party join the democrats and put our candidates in through them.

Can you imagine the Democrats faced with all those ex Republicans coming in and taking their party from them?

Walk that talk, Michael, and we’ll see ... godspeed.

Let’s all bombard him with calls, emails whatever it takes.

[mojitojoe]

So Mr. Steele is right, we have no reason at all to trust him.

With “friends” like this, who needed enemies.
