Steele’s character, principles and courage [or better yet, lack thereof] was laid bare before the nation when his colleague, Kentucky kook wanna-be senator Rand Paul, had a major brain hiccup when he told reporters that the government went too far in advancing blacks’ rights with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Even though Steele had Rand Paul right in his sights and marked for spewing hate-filled invectives at black people —the very people that Steele is supposedly trying to recruit into the Republican Party — he couldn’t pull the trigger. After being blasted for virtually every move he makes, and doesn’t make, Steele is petrified and incapable of taking any kind of stance that doesn’t come with an easy, quick exit strategy.
“I can’t condemn a person’s view,” Steele’s feebly fluttered into the atmosphere while being interviewed on ABC’s “This Week.” “The people of Kentucky will judge whether that’s a view that they would like to send to the Senate.”
Uh, hello, Mr. Steele; this is Kentucky, home of the blue grass and red necks as well as the Appalachian Mountains. What do you think they want in their senator?
Granted, Paul did his Michael Jackson impersonation when he moonwalked back from his idiotic release, saying in a written statement, “I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.”
But the best Steele could muster up was that he was “uncomfortable” with Paul’s stance? Are you kidding me? Steele, he is talking about you, too, when he said that private businesses should have been left with the ability to discriminate. You mean to tell me that you can light up the blowtorch on President Obama, an easy target, but you can’t police your own folks even when they take stances that negatively impact you? That is the epitome of cowardice.
And here’s the worst part of the sham Mr. Steele: that brazen brunette bubblehead, Sarah Palin, took the same stance as you did. That alone should be enough to warrant your banishment from politics all together, much less the Republican Party. –terry shropshire
