Author Topic: Republicans Pick Steele as Next Party Chairman (Read 7343 times)

I don't agree with him on Affirmative Action, if he still believes its necessary (which is what his position was in 2006). With an expanding government, we must abolish any preferential treatments to a specific race. This country is very mixed and many nationalities.

As far as banning same sex marriage, he has said this is of low importance but believes its a state decision. He believes in more state's rights and less federal gov power.

I agree with him on many things and disagree on some...but I like his personality and think he is good for the party.

Good choice.

I know almost nothing about him. Why do you think he's a good choice? Does he have any organzing and fundraising experience?

They are headed in the right direction. What a lost cause.

Steele to appoint anti-Ron Paul hack Anuzis to RNC position.

Michigan party chairman Saul Anuzis said he will circulate a petition among Republican National Committee members to ban Paul from more debates. At a GOP candidates’ debate Tuesday night, Paul drew attacks from all sides, most forcefully from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, when he linked the terror attacks to U.S. bombings.

..."I think he would have felt much more comfortable on the stage with the Democrats in what he said last night. And I think that he is a distraction in the Republican primary and he does not represent the base and he does not represent the party,” Anuzis said during an RNC state leadership meeting.

“Given what he said last night it was just so off the wall and out of whack that I think it was more detrimental than helpful.”

Anuzis said his petition would go to debate sponsors and broadcasters to discourage inviting Paul.

That attitude is why the republican party is where it is today.

I didn't hear Ron Paul's comments, but I wonder why he is still a member of the party. He ought to just become an independent.

Because I've heard him speak on multiple occasions and was impressed, he has good experience, and a very good background.

The only reason I stay a registered republican is to vote in the primary.

The party right now is a joke.

We need another Newt type figure.

I've heard him speak a few times on the talking head shows and on Bill Maher.

I think his job is to run strategy and fundraising for the party.

Personally, I hope he sucks at his jobs but he's the Repubs choice so more power to him.

Karl Obama is going to be a one term president regardless if he keeps rubber stamping everythinbg from pelosi.

Congratulations on voting for a marxist.

Did you see the interview Steele did on Fox news Sunday??

Boy, he impressed me.

He would certainly fill the bill as a leader with a message.

Missed it, but I've heard him speak before and I've always been impressed.

In other words, because he is a liberal you like him.

Well he is noted to be quite intelligent, something that isn't related to the Repub side.... so he must be a liberal.

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 02, 2009, 02:47:39 PM »

Of course Lurker...its pure stupidity to not trust a big government system where they take your money, freedoms and choice.
You can criticize certain republicans for being stupid but the foundations of true conservatism are wise. They are for our protection against oppressive government and are the foundations of this country from many of our founding fathers.

obama's new approval ratings will be interesting.

THAT is why his approval ratings on jan 21/22 were relevant (despite numbnuts here saying otehrwise). Soon we'll be able to see if the stimulus package is affecting peopel's perception of him.

I don't see the purpose... I agree with Don't ask don't tell... The only reason why people would want to say whether they're gay in the Military or not is because they want to get out in the first place.

Do you ask people walking down the street if they're gay? I don't... so why would the Military?

If so, the Repubs have failed at their own platform.

I care what the military thinks. If they want it, keep it, if not, tough shit for the gays.

The military is not supposed to be a social engineering project.

I want a military that is the best and toughest in the world, not a place of social "fairness" and lowered moral.

I didn't say the $ went to taxpayers, I said it went to american.s

Is it a big welfare package? sure.

Does a welfare package > a military package?
Yes. Because the $ is spent in our borders. Those welfare slut moms will spend the $ at walmart.

This is nonsense! this is just a forcible taking of $$$$$$ from those of us who work to those of us who wont.

What a joke.

Joe the Plumber was right - Obama is a socialist and wants to take everyone who works' money and give it to those who wont.

Cheer on this commie if you like, but I will not.

I HOPE HE FAILS IN HIS MARXIST PLANS!
