Why would educated Americans think STEELE is republican party leader OVER RUSH-BO ?

We Answered:

I TOTALLY agree with you!!!

Rush is the LEADER of your party and I'm GLAD that you are PROUD of that!!!

Leona Said:

Michael Steele the figure head so called leader of The Republican party?

We Answered:

Rush never was the leader of the GOP. He's an entertainer, period. Try and get your quotes straight. You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

Pedro Said:

Why do the Republicans feel that they need Sarah Palin to be the leader of the Republican party?

Marilyn Said:

Who is the leader for the Republican Party?

We Answered:

To be honest NOBODY is leading or speaking for the Repubs right now. This from a life long conservative.

Steele is too gaffe prone to be embraced as a leader.

Rush is too Blunt.

Beck is a Libertarian for God's sake.

Palin might have questionable ties to independents and be too much of a maverick to have any chance of winning a higher office than she has already served.

Boehner made great strides in bringing the Tea Party, establishment Repubs, and conservatives together and arbitrating disputes while they were creating "the Pledge." However, I like many others do not believe it went far enough or distanced Repubs from the dem agenda enough for it to carry over to the next cycle especially if we are not successful in overturning BOTH dem majorities.

We have two years after November 2 for a leader to emerge and quite frankly, NONE of the names mentioned or not mentioned that have been in the political spot light recently fit the bill. Newt will not commit and likely has too much baggage in his personal life and might not be willing to be persecuted and smeared during an entire election cycle. Romney? Who knows if he will even be viable or relevant in two years. Pawlenty (sp)? It seems rather foolish to me to abandon a governors chair that he could easily have won and step away from that kind of exposure unless he is forming a PAC or plans to start fundraising for a pres run NOW. Which brings me back to Palin. I know she had good reasons for resigning. They are well documented. However, it is impossible to convince me that resigning is a crafty or wise political move if you have any further political aspirations that have not yet been indulged.

Erica Said:

Why is the Republican party leader a radio talk show host?

We Answered:

LOL......if Rush is the Republican party leader then the GOP is in deeper trouble than anyone thought.

Clifford Said:

Did Cheney just admit that Rush Limbaugh really is a republican party leader?

We Answered:

Yup, he hedged a little, but then came out for Rush in the end.

SCHEIFFER: Colin Powell said Republicans would be better off if they didn’t have Rush Limbaugh out speaking for them. Where do you come down?

CHENEY: Well, if I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I’d go with Rush Limbaugh, I think. I think my take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn’t know he was still a Republican.

SCHIEFFER: So you think that he’s not a Republican?

CHENEY: I just noted he endorsed the Democratic candidate for president this time, Barack Obama . I assumed that that is some indication of his loyalty and his interest.

SCHIEFFER: And you said you would take Rush Limbaugh over Colin Powell.

CHENEY: I would.
