		<description>Mr. Steele is articulate, well repected, and a great fundraiser. The quickest way to lose it to become dividied.  Has he made some mistakes? Of course, who has not? I fully support Mr. Steele and know the quickest way to victory is being united.</description>

		<description>Yeah, but too bad it took over 4000 American and 600,000 Iraqi deaths along with raped and crippled economies for BOTH countries. Why couldn&#039;t moderate republicans see this in 2004?</description>

		<description>[...] Jesus. Some people wear a hat frontwards, others cocked to the left, he explained. Some wear it backwards, he added, echoing a past statement, &#8220;because that’s how they roll.&#8221; But &#8220;the strength of the party is in this: &#8230; the fact that you’re willing to put the damn thing on&#8230; The problem we’ve had as a party is: too many of our friends, neighbors, colleagues are taking the hat off, because we’ve decided we don’t like the way they wear it&#8230; The GOP is not about how you wear the hat, but the fact that you want to wear the hat.&#8221; [...]</description>

		<description>Reqirement for wearing H A T:
You AGREE that,

* Jesus loves you, but shares your deep hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
* A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all humankind without regulation.
* The United States should get out of the United Nations, but our highest national priority is enforcing U. N. resolutions against Iraq and Iran.
* “Standing Tall for America” means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.
* Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
* The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.
* A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying about WMD existence to enlist support for an unprovoked, undeclared war and occupation in which thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands civilians die, is, somehow, solid “defense” policy in a “War against Terrorism”.
* If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.
* A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, but then demand their cooperation and money.
* Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
* HMOs and insurance companies make profits and have the interest of the public at heart.</description>

		<description>That fat Cat in the Hat is really a Rat 
DRAT DRAT DRAT. 
 He&#039;ll let you wear a hat 
but it won&#039;t make you a cat
and that&#039;s that.</description>
