By rivory | November 18th, 2008 | Category: Campaigns, Heathcare, International Affairs, Politics, Social, Urban Issues |HHR BREAKING NEWS-UPDATE
We just received this information from the DRAFT STEELE COALITION they are reporting that the signatures for Steele’s nomination are huge and come from all 50 STATES!! They are coming from all over and from various groups. In a show of uniformity Jewish bloggers who know Steele is a strong supporter of Israel and Evangelicals who know he is pro choice to moderates who know old way of doing things will not work and that the party needs to change. Steele is the first RNC potential chairman in history to reach out to bloggers and get there says on the future of the party. As a result thousands of bloggers have listened in on his conference calls around the nation and are solidly behind the man. There have been some naysayer and even accusations that Steele is a fake Republican and is not pro life. There have been accusations that this is a type of affirmative action “GOP Style” all such arguments have been debunked giving Steele’s record.
The person leading the attack is Don Wildmon president of the American Family Association Mr. Wildmon is a person who has been denounded by Jewish groups for holding Anti Semitic views and who was ounce quoted as saying”Hollywood and the theater world is heavily influenced by Jewish people.” All this attacking Steele for not being religious is ood gven that he is a devout Catholic and actualy studied for the priesthood.

“He certainly would offer the kind of vivid, strong voice that we could use, and I think that the party would do very well if he ends up being chairman,” said Gingrich.
“There are a number of other strong people who are running. The chairman of South Carolina is very effective, good friend of mine. Saul Anuzis, the chairman from Michigan, is running. But Michael Steele certainly is going to be in the front ranks…”
NEWT GINGRICH
BREAKING NEWS-
According to news sources, there is a small band of party insiders and bloggers who have begun a major assault to undermine Michael Steele’s record.
This blog and others will have not of it and will defend Michael Steele from these attacks. The group of people attacking Michael Steele are trying to say he is not a Republican…in other words a RHINO! They are upset because he has met with and is a member of moderate Republican groups, what they fail to mention is he sits on just as many conservative groups.
WRITE AND SPEAK OUT AND LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN. THESE NASTY AND UGLY SMEARS ARE UNACCEPTABLE
The truth about…Michael Steele
The political email machines, which may have taken a bit of a break after the election, are ginning up again for the race for RNC Chairman, and a reader forwards over one sent out by an RNC member who supports former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, rebutting the whisper that he’s not pro-life:
I wanted to write personally because I’m angry … and because you should know the truth about Michael Steele.
Michael is a wonderful man who has given generously over 20 years of service to our party and to conservative causes - as a volunteer, county chairman, Maryland State Party Chairman, statewide elected official and now as Chairman of GOPAC.
But some of Michael’s opponents in the race for RNC Chairman have started an anonymous mudslinging campaign.
You’ve probably seen the emails. They claim Michael is not as pro-life as he needs to be. Well as someone who has known Michael for almost 20 years I can tell you these charges are absolutely false.
No wonder the people behind these emails won’t reveal their identities.
Fun times.
Full email after the jump.

The truth about…Michael Steele
By Joyce Terhes
Dear fellow RNC member:
I wanted to write personally because I’m angry … and because you should know the truth about Michael Steele.
Michael is a wonderful man who has given generously over 20 years of service to our party and to conservative causes - as a volunteer, county chairman, Maryland State Party Chairman, statewide elected official and now as Chairman of GOPAC.
But some of Micheal’s opponents in the race for RNC Chairman have started an anonymous mudslinging campaign.
You’ve probably seen the emails. They claim Michael is not as pro-life as he needs to be. Well as someone who has known Michael for almost 20 years I can tell you these charges are absolutely false.
No wonder the people behind these emails won’t reveal their identities.
Here’s the truth.
Michael is the only current candidate for RNC chairman who has ever been endorsed by the National Right to Life Committee. I’ve attached the endorsement Michael received when he ran for Senate here in Maryland two years ago.
Oh, and by the way, it’s not easy running for public office in Maryland as a staunch pro-lifer. But that is exactly what Michael did. He never backed down. Never made excuses.
Here’s what the Washington Times said about Michael’s pro-life position when they endorsed him on October 25, 2006.
“Mr. Steele is staunchly pro-life (parting with many Republicans who support abortion in cases of rape and incest), and he is a free trader. The Washington Times is pleased to endorse Michael Steele for the U.S. Senate.”
If anyone tells you Michael isn’t a strong enough pro-lifer, you can be sure they either don’t know Michael Steele as well as they should, or they’re being malicious.
Thanks for hearing me out.

No surprise at all. I was amazed to hear of any conservatives in state office in MD. I grew up where Michael Steele did. I was amazed at his influence in MD. The fight is on. I’m sure it was not unexpected. I find it interesting that they would say that he is not strong on conservative issues as before. That is the very thing that Republicans have tried to do the past few years and lost on. This is total madness.
Let the games begin
As the kids would say nowadays, I ‘ride or die’ with Mr. Steele.
Oh its on!!!
We need Al Pacino as head of the RNC or Donald Trump..possibly Michael Bloomberg..I can hear Trump now “no outreach”..how ya gonna sale this crap…YA FIRED!…You hired the same people who got you into this mess…YA FIRED!….Mm… Mr. Trump we decided not to market any more and stick with the base…to which Trump replies “The &%$%$ base..what about new bases…YA FIRED!!!
This is why we got our a$$es handed to us 11/4. We can’t stop fighting with ourselves long enough to put out a clear and unified message. It’s very upsetting. I am all for new blood at the top and Mr. Steele seems like the one to restore the Republican Party to its former glory but we have to stop the infighting!!
Thanks for the link. I think Michael Steele is fantastic! I’d love to see less of him as a commentator and more of him as a party leader. He’s young, he has a great message and frankly, he’s not the same old tired Republican politicians we’ve seen for so long. This is the sort of change we can believe in!

“This was a switch– I’ve never heard once from the current RNC Chairman– Never an email. Never a call.”
That should tell you something black man.
When will you learn?
I would like to correct the record. My website, Axis of Right, is one mentioned above as spreading “lies” about Michael Steele. In actuality, the members of our site are very supportive of Michael Steele, myself (who wrote the mentioned article above) included, as can be seen by this later post.
The point of that original article was just to present an opposing viewpoint, as the role of RNC chair is vitally important, and I feel we must vet our candidate for that position completely. The more I learn, the more I like Michael Steele. To say that we are slamming him is an inaccurate representation of our views.
Sal a person made this comment regarding the original post on your blog and I concur the person said that “no one is saying Steele shouldn’t be vetted. But he shouldn’t be smeared either.”.Steele is a pro-lifer who gave an awkward answer vis-a-vis tactics that didn’t even trouble the National Right to Life Committee. Comparing that to a man who changed his position four times, all at the exact moment he needed to, to suit the office he was seeking is just beyond the pale.Defending someone from an outrageous charge is not the same thing as saying he shouldn’t be vetted. Whatever vetting occurs should be accurate. That’s all.
Agreed, and I corrected the record after I was properly informed. I jumped on information that I did not have (BTW, the person who corrected my original post was one of the other main contributors to Axis of Right).
Sal,
Thanks for making the correction regarding Steele he is a hard worker for this party and the inspiration for this blog so our members around the country were alarmed when we heard reports of people saying he was a RHINO. In one day we got over “40″ emails of upset supporters of Steele who felt we needed to say something. Again thank you for the clarification and I asked one of our editors to remove you from the list. I have not checked the site but it should be removed by 5pm today and again no harm was meant by putting your blog on the list but we felt strongly about this issue.
In the next few weeks we will be doing everything in our power to see that Steele becomes RNC Chair if he does not we will hold the RNC Chair who is nominated accountable. The failure of party leaders to reach out to minorities and younger voters is unacceptable and we hope whoever sits in this powerful seats hear this blog readers concerns regarding this.
HHR is read my thousands of urban readers and our number one complaint is why has the GOP ignored urban areas and minority voters. If Steele showed no commitment to either issue we would not support him. However the only person so far who has reached out in mass to bloggers and spoken passionately for our concerns is Steele. The only other possible person to come close we believe would be Newt Gingrich.
Thanks
Richard
Glad to sign the petition but I would rather it be a petition to get him to run against Obama in 2012.
