Steele: GOP 'screwed up' after Reagan, won't win in 2010

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele apparently thinks the best way to ring in the New Year is to disappoint his followers.
In a TV interview Monday, Steele said the party won't be regaining control of Congress in the mid-term elections this year. And if there's a reason for that, it's that the Republicans "screwed up" after Ronald Reagan left office.
According to excerpts of his new book, obtained by the Associated Press, Steele criticizes the two Republican presidents who followed Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, accusing the elder Bush of abandoning Republican principles by instituting tax hikes, and accusing the younger Bush of betraying fiscal conservatism with large deficits and the TARP bank bailout.
And in an appearance on Fox News, Steele indirectly said that the GOP would not regain control of Congress this year, as some pollsters and political observers have suggested. Asked by host Sean Hannity if he believed the Republicans would win back the House this year, The Hill reports Steele responded: "Not this year."
"You don't think so?" Hannity responded.

Well, at least Steele said something half right for a change - Colleen

Michael Steele To Barack Obama: Stop Playing Golf Until Oil Spill EndsJun 22, 2010
This is sooooo stoopid!!! What do they want the President to do? I guess the President needs to sit at his desk 24 hours/day. After all, he can only handle one catastrophe at a time. I think our President needs to move his office and staff to a boat and park it next to the gusher. Hopefully, that will make people happy. I guess Republicans have forgotten how many days Bush spent at his Texas ranch. Last week, it was an ad. This time, it's a statement from the GOP chairman. O ...

JP Morgan Tells Investors Why Middle Class Americans Are ScrewedAug 03, 2011
How many working class Republicans do you know? How many blindly vote against their own economic interest? It is not their fault, they have just been duped into believing the conservative mantra that the government is stealing their money, when in actuality it is the wealthy who are stealing their money. Let’s take welfare for example, according to a report by USA Today, in 2010 4.4 million people were on welfare. In a country of 330 million people that equals to a little ove ...

As part of the Independent Foreclosure Review, payments will start to be sent out on April 12th. Go to http://www.occ.gov/topics/consumer-protection/foreclosure-prevention/correcting-for ...

Happy 48th birthday to Medicare.
