[A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.

Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-NV) apologized for privately referring to Barack Obama early in his presidential campaign as a “light-skinned” African American “with no Negro dialect,” as recounted in the forthcoming book…

You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking,” Biden said.

New York Senator Hillary Clinton apologized for joking that Mahatma Gandhi ran a gas station in St. Louis to a crowd of about 200 at a fund-raiser for Senate candidate Nancy Farmer in Missouri.

RobertByrd – “My old mom told me, ‘Robert, you can’t go to heaven if you hate anybody.’ We practice that. There are white niggers. I’ve seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I’m going to use that word.

I think you have your parties mixed up.

Well Steele isn’t at my level of conservatism. I’m far more conservative than most Republicans. Yet if you want my real pick for the new head. It would either be Rick Perry or Gary Johnson.

Simply not true and just another liberal attempt to dismiss a movement that has clearly stated what the solutions are to many of our problems. For starters if goverment would get the hell out the way that would present solutions to just about every problem this country is facing right now. Another approach the party is working on is to get out the word to younger voters just how dangerous the the precedents we see in action today are. All you need to do is to go to the partys website to see any number of initiatives they are trying to perform.
The reason they’re not getting as much attention as most would think they should is because the solutions are not a bunch of old tired falied policies dressed up under banners and platitudes that make it sound like something new such as what we saw in the Obama campaign. Most who voted for Obama were just to ignorant to see that all it was that was being promised was re-packaged socialism. Tea Partiers are simply demanding a return to the tried and true conservative policies that have worked in the past and the principles our contry was founded on.
As far as Steele goes, looks fickle because hes got a tough job trying to find a balance between a vote that could go three different ways in the next election. Independents, conservatives and republicans are all going to have to be brought together onto one vote somehow or the splits could give the dems an advantage.

His actions prior to his recent miraculous transformation were the reason that I quit giving to the RNC and prefer to write checks to conservative candidates of my own choosing. From what I’ve read about lackluster RNC donations, I’m not the only one. Is he for real or is he just following the money?

Like I said, I’m glad he’s come around and seen the light but his transformation is relatively recent. NY-23 was not that long ago. $900,000.00 to Dee Dee Scazafava? Hardly the actions of a grass roots conservative.

I’ll keep an open mind.

They’re the crowd that screwed the party up to begin with. Steele has a lot of faults but at least he’s not fighting against the tide like a lot of the establishment Republicans are.

Yes, I’m glad he figured it out, but a chameleon never stops changing to adapt to his current environment. Would Republicans recapturing control of the House and Senate look like 1994 or 2004?
