I watched a different video, where he contradicted what he said on Hannity. When he tries to make the good guys out to be the bad guys, well, something is wrong with this picture. I just don’t feel included in his strive for inclusiveness. Listen for yourself:

Let’s hope Jason is right. Here is the vid he was probably talking about:

Jason,
Thanks for the comment and for visiting. Steele calls himself a conservative. Actions speak louder than words and his membership in the centrist “Republican Leadership Council,” also calls into question just how conservative he is. Time will tell. Again, thanks. You’re always welcome here.

I left the Republican Party (or it left me) around 2004. That’s when I pulled the Bush/Cheney sticker off my SUV. I have only identified myself as a conservative when asked for political affiliation and have refused to attend any GOP fundraisers. The two RINO’s from TN, Alexander and Corker are exactly the type of Republicans which made me into one of the “unaffiliated” voters that feel disenfranchised by the GOP. I’m a conservative and I have nowhere to go. How many elections do they have to lose before they realize they need their conservative base?

You’re dead wrong. Watch his interview on Hannity. He’s conservative. He will court the conservative base. Nonetheless, he recognizes the RNC needs independents, African Americans, etc., but, unlike McCain, he doesn’t believe the RNC needs to abondon conservatism to appeal to them. You jumped the gun on this.
