A Prescription for Victory?

Is RNC Chair Michael Steele serious?  Read the transcript and listen to the audio.  Where does this fit in bringing conservative principles (and the ideas to implement those principles) back from the wilderness?

Steele may believe that sitting at “the cool kids’ table” will bring victory.  He would be mistaken.  The conservative message has never been the “easy” message.  Giving stuff away is the “easy”, liberal message.

We need leaders, not class clowns.

PS -

I know this isn’t popular with many of you out there.  My response is a simple one.  Make an argument for what Steele has done to date.  I realize that he’s new on the job.  I would agree that we should give him time to get acclimated.

However, if Steele were spending his time getting acclimated to the task of running the RNC I would say, “God’s speed Mr. Steele.”  Instead, Steele is grabbing every possible opportunity to get on TV or radio and cause embarrassment to the GOP.

Does anyone really defend stunts like this radio interview or publicly discussing retribution against incumbents who didn’t vote with their GOP fellows?
