Republican Leadership Council - RINOs!!!!
Written by Mark Harris on March 12th, 2007I was very disappointed to see that Michael Steele joined Sen. Danforth and Gov. Whitman in forming a new organization for ‘fiscally conservative’ (read: loves pork, big gov’t, and taxes) and ’socially inclusive’ (read: we don’t like evangelicals)
Meet the misguided folks here.
It’s so sad because they don’t even realize how irrelevant they really are. If what they cared about was fiscal conservatism then they’d be backing the club, which doesn’t take a position on social issues.

Yeah I just voted for him too! They are a group that simply wants to push certain social issues, (they have a fetish with stem cells) and all of the rest is window dressing to hide their agenda.

This is really no surprise. Steele was supported by Whitman’s “It’s My Party Too” PAC.

I have yet to come across a socially liberal, yet fiscally conservative Republican. If you look at the RINO crowd like Snowe, Specter, Whitman, and crowd, they are anything but fiscally conservative.

Sam,
That is absolutely true!

The Conservative Revolution is dead and gone, long over. Reagan is now an icon and not a role model. The Withmans and Steeles are the future of the Republican Party. The current crop of Presidential contenders are more closely allied ideologically with Whitman than Reagan. But each one of them claims the mantle of Ronald Reagan. I say go ahead and hang yourself with the mantle.
Those who charge other Republicans as “RINOs” will be the new RINOs after the 2008 election. If the Republican Party is to have any viablity it has to change. I can’t believe how many people think that the Republican Party didn’t exist before Ronald Reagan. I can’t believe how many Republicans think there were no Republican Presidents before the Gipper either.
As Reagan said in 1980, “It’s time for a change.”
