Michael Steele: Republicans at a crossroads
I believe it is Obama who is at a crossroad. One path leads out of his current situation the other leads deeper in. The path he takes is HIS choice.
obama doesn't have a real choice. He can gracefully resign, or get chased around as a political cripple for the next 3 years. His presidency is over.
I see him on the Joe Scarborough show a lot and he seems lost most of the time just like the co-host Mee Ker...
The GOP switched from being a sometimes decent party to a group of nutters that have no ideas
and can only explode in fauxrage every other day.
They continue to make themselves look like a group of people that hate America.

It's looking like you and others were a little premature here. Michael Steele is the voice of reason lately.
Michael S is talking tough talk that the far right resents: ignore the truth, Ruth Republican, and you will get your ass handed to you in 2014.

Here's a nice article from Michael Steele. I wonder why he seems to play a second role to Cain, Carson, and West? I think his message is a good one.
GOP lost its voice
Republicans lost their voice on the things that mattered not long after the 2004 elections; and by 2008 that gap between our rhetoric and our actions had grown to the point that our credibility had completely snapped. From the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the implosion of the nations economy, more and more Americans began to view the party as out of step with the direction they believed the country should be heading. To make matters worse, what many inside and outside the arty failed to understand was it wasnt the fault of our ideals or the principles we espoused, but rather the failure of our leadership to honor those principles.
Over time, our principles had morphed into baser motives. We became more interested in red vs. blue state politics, egged on by political know-it-alls and high-priced consultants. The net effect of their leadership diminished the noble vision of the Party of Lincolnthe party I had joined at the tender age of 17as the GOP became the party of big government Republicanism.
It should be no secret to Republicans by now that the country has changed and continues to do so. You dont need to spend a million bucks to figure that out. Nor do Republicans have to keep repeating we need to reach out to [fill in the blank]. Shut up and do it already!

Why didn't Steele try to change things when he was GOP Party Chairman in 2009-2010?

2010 was a detour and 2012 the American population said emphatically "no" to the TPM.
You all in the far right and libertarian wings of our GOP need to understand that the mainstream will not go your way next year.
Jake to Frank. You guys cost us the presidency, you guys increased the Democratic hold in the Senate, you guys lost us seats in the House. And you think we will let you have any say in the national tickets in 2016 and most of the House seats next year?

Steele new that the only reason he ever got that position was the SHOCK of Obama being elected had the GOP scrambling. The entire time he was in there he was under attack from the tea party. No surprise there. Notice how he out performed Priebus but the tea party attacked him but praised Priebus? Why is that?
Actions and words.
