I was rooting for Steele.
Here’s a good 2005 piece on Steele’s journey (and courage) by NR‘s Jay Nordlinger. If you don’t know much about Steele, you should read it.

I listened. Deace didn’t say much about Steele, but he did mention a lot of others. And I don’t disagree with most of his points.
The woman on the front end of the podcast said Steele was elected because he’s black, as a reaction to the Dems putting a black man at the head of their party. I don’t believe that was/is the primary motivation, but she/you are entitled to believe so – and I can understand that it may appear that way. And I’m as tired as anyone of identity politics.

What, now we go and find our own “magic Negro”?
This is a very, very sad day for America. The election of Steele proves that the Republican party will not go in the direction they need to for the sake of our country. They can expect to be in the minority for quite some time to come.
Are you a true conservative or just a kool aid drinker? If you are a true conservative then you would listen to what this other true conservative has to say about him.

Steve Deace is so right about him.
He’s a RINO. On that we can be clear. This proves that the Republican Party’s move to the Left might be a permanent legacy of the Bush years.
