    People like Jindal and Steele were boosted as a way to improve the Republican image with minority voters. This is an interesting corner they've painted themselves into. If they come down too hard on Steele they risk alienating people that they are so eagerly trying to recruit. Yes it's true, Republicans really don't want honest candidates. They want a guy that will toe the party line and use the talking points. For these politicians to cross that line spells trouble for them. Let's see how they handle this. I wonder if they can get Steele to apologize to Limbaugh as other Republican politicians have in the past.

      One can say the same of each party and be accurate.

        Think Steele will be forced to apologize? Anyone taking bets?

          MOST?

          are you speaking for the republicans now?

          to me, Limbaugh is just another personality in the republican space.

          "apologize to Limbaugh as other Republican politicians have in the past."

          Who has ever "apologize to Limbaugh" for anything they've said, ever? It is just amazing the way lies roll off you tongue or is that finger tips. Don't you care that most intelligent people can see right thought a blatant lie like that?

              Steele has already 'kissed the ring'. HeII, he didn't just kiss it, he gave it a *******.

              “My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

                I knew it. But he's got to kiss up a lot more than that to get back in Rush's graces. He'll have to go on national T.V. or radio and humiliate himself before the entire world. Then and only then will he even be considered halfway forgiven.

                  Sounds like they took him out behind the wood shed.

                Well if Steele was only used as a racial pawn for Republicans, he sure payed for it. The left has called him an uncle tom and made some of the most absurd racial comments toward this man. Was Justice Thomas the same? If he was, well then he payed for it as well being portrayed as a lawn jockey by the left. Pretty hypocritical thinking if you asked me.

                What about the same argument being made about Obama? Maybe even white America voted for him because of their white guilt and the only way to prove that they are not racists to themselves...was to vote for a black president regardless of whether they agreed with his views or his experience. That in and of itself would prove that race was the issue. So is Obama the left's version of improving their image? Maybe be the right to the punch before a Rice or Powell became president...or even a woman like Palin?

                MMMMM who knows.

                  So is Obama the left's version of improving their image? No. Obama wasn't even expected to win in the early going. The Democrats didn't need to gain the black vote. They already had it.
