RNC Chairman Michael Steele: I’ll Support Primary Challenges To Republicans Who Voted For Stimulus

• February 24, 2009

This is the leadership we need:

The Republicans in question would be Lindsey Graham, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.
Now, I’ve heard all the arguments about “big tents” and “consensus building,” but ultimately…if the Republican party is to be the limited government party but the members of the party are going to vote for big government…what’s the point of being Republican? Why not just be Democrats and Democrat-lite?
If these people are going to vote like Democrats, then let them be Democrats. And let’s run against them with authentic conservatives and beat them in the marketplace of ideas.
That might be a messy process. It might not lead to immediate success. But ultimately, what should the goal of conservatives be? Winning elections at the expense of limited government ideals, or actually promoting limited government?

Yea right, Rush and Hannity run the RNC. The mindless rabble that listen to these lunatics vote how the talking heads say to vote.
(As per buzz)

Hey buzz, and this is’nt hate statements??
You have a picture of a tractor, so if thats yours, did you buy it with all the pork and substities you got from the government??? Or should I say US TAX PAYERS!!
Joseph

I’m always open to everything baby

I don’t know much about Mr. Steele, but so far I think I like him.

Lindsay Graham is a RINO. He needs to be voted out. The idiot believes in nationalizing banks. He has to go.

And Saul Alinsky runs the DNC!

Good one! Obama must keep the handbook in his back pocket for constant reference.

and let me tell ya, Maine and Pennsylvania are just itchin’ to elect some die-hard conservatives.

I would be thrilled(as a democrat) if the Maine Republicans kicked Sen. Snowe out of the primary. One of the last New England Republicans to go!

As for staunch conservatives in Pennsylvania, they already got the bad taste of Rick Santorum out of their mouths. We’d be perfectly happy to elect a moderate Democrat to take Specter’s place…

Get the posers out – no funding for them!

Here’s a bit of fiscal responsibility for you–I was just over at Gateway Pundit and there’s a video clip of the Missouri governor saying he wasn’t worried about the debt incurred from the stimulus bill because Missour kids and grandkids will pay it off. Not only Missouri kids and grandkids but kids and grandkids all over the place.

I think this is wonderful news.. Nice to see Chairman Steele getting down to task with this issue with these folks.

More for the democrats.

You left out Arlen Specter.

If these people are going to vote like Democrats, then let them be Democrats. And let’s run against them with authentic conservatives and beat them in the marketplace of ideas.

Amen!

Where do I send my campaign contributions to the primary challengers! These rinos are a disgrace!

Steele is much more proactive than was, I forgot, who was the last RNC chairman? Maybe that was the problem.

So which Bush lies were really lies? Zero at last count.

And which Acting President Obama lies are really lies, if he said it, it was a lie — All of what Obama says has an expiration date of 12:00 AM each day. He just thinks you don’t notice. With Obama, it’s all an act. And the Democrats are too stupid to figure that out.

Buzz, Bush is gone. You might want to find another liberal mantra to recite? America in the past has always been strong and held much pride in our country and the way we protect freedom loving people around the Globe. The Liberal, Commie, Socialist movement has led it’s crusade to embrace those who would like to harm American. You display that so well, Buzz! The sad thing is how the likes of Obama and his followers actually believe we need to release the Prisoners of Gitmo who are all stone cold killers! AND the Socialist ideologies that are making our country dependent on foreign oil is pathetic. The US Government is over stepping it’s bounds! Socialism is ruining our country. Take your Commie, Socialist, garbage and stick it in the Dump!

You just live in your own little fantasy world, dontcha?

I don’t expect this list of Bush regime lies to make a dent in your tinfoil hat, bill, but others may find it helpful.

It’s sad this is even news. Why shouldn’t there be primary challenges?

The “no challengers allowed” attitude is a sign that a party is dying. The party elites are trying to keep the party in power in those states by running on the name recognition of the incumbent. Yet, by not encouraging competition within the party, it actually harms the competitiveness and the health of the party in the long-run.

You forgot Arlen Sphyncter.

Yea, I’ll take that action. Where is my money, leftard.

Good job, Shady!

Yeah, it wasn’t Lindsay Graham, it was Arlen Specter.

Jack, I keep wondering when the Dems will offer anything other than “Same failed policies of the Bush regime”? Is that all you got? Turn the page! Get a new song! Obama in the first month in office has spent more than any POTUS in history. The Tax Payers should never be asked to Pay for Foreclosures and bad business practices. That is NOT the Governments responsibility. BUT our new Socialist POTUS sure thinks so. WOW! You have a lot of nerve to complain about Bush! Keep beating that dead horse. See where it gets US.

if they are against obama so what is used a president ?
Jack

jackoff, Bush’s policies only failed where he “compromised” blah blah gibber drool…

The Bush regime was famous for ramming it’s failed policies down the throats of the spineless Democrats. Can you give me a concrete example of when he “compromised?” Can you offer reliable evidence to back up your claims?

I got twenty bucks says the answer is “no, you cannot.”

Buzz the Moron said: Yea right, Rush and Hannity run the RNC. The mindless rabble that listen to these lunatics vote how the talking heads say to vote. Any “good” RNC member will follow the heads, not Steele if they want reelected. And Steele is right behind them and there hate speech.

Divide and concur, create a world order under the Bush doctrine. Submit to the great Imperialist fist of America, or be bombed into the stone age. That is the true Republican battle cry.

Eventually the dems are going to have to run against something other than Bush. Your posts are just about as stupid as DINO’s.

Steele is right these clowns should be voted out of office because they are not fit to have an “R” next to their name.
Jack

Eventually the dems are going to have to run against something other than Bush.

When will the GOP offer anything other than the same failed policies of the Bush regime?

Obama has caused more Destruction in One Month than any POTUS I recall in history. One Month! Fiscal Responsibility? What the heck does that mean coming from a Socialist? The Dems have been encouraging Fiscal Irresponsibility for Decades. AND now the US Tax payers are being FORCED to Pay for that Fiscal Irresponsibility, at the request of our brand new Socialist POTUS. IF YOU ARE IN A HOLE, QUIT DIGGING!!! It is NOT the Governments Responsibility to buy houses for it’s citizens. It is NOT Governments responsibility to prevent foreclosures! Obama should do US all a favor and RESIGN! He is incompetent and has no business being POTUS!
Jack

And let’s run against them with authentic conservatives and beat them in the marketplace of ideas.

The GOP has no ideas except to return to the failures and incompetence of the last eight years. The GOP has no policy except tax breaks for Paris Hilton.

Now THIS is Republican policy that I can get behind. Get rid of senior congress-people in favor of junior, hard-right ideologues. Now I get it, the “permanent majority” that Conservatives always talked about is true…only it’s not a REPUBLICAN majority they were angling for.

jackoff, Bush’s policies only failed where he “compromised” with you socialist assholes, such as turning over command of operations in Afghanistan to an “international” body. Now America has to go back in and fix all your fuck ups.

And allowing Democrat Socialist Party assholes to fuck up our economy. That is a “compromise” Bush made with you anti-American fucks that the entire world will now have to pay for. Millions upon millions of innocent people will die because of the fuck ups you Democrat Socialist enemies of the human race are forcing upon all of us real human beings.

Good job, cocksucker.

So long, republicans!
