Mr. Steele I could not agree with you more. When listening to the Democrats it would seem they believe Obama won by a landslide. He did not Sir and I’m surprised he did not win by a larger vote. My reasoning is that a goat could have won this election and one did. The vote was against Bush and the Party that went along with all his and Cheney’s bad decisions.
Now there is no reason to change what the Party believes in just what is wrong with the Party.
What is wrong with the Party is mixed signal coming from the Party. You have John McCain that thought Barack would make a great President. Well if he thought so he should not have been running for President. The most liberal of any Senator was proving his policies would be destructive and John McCain helped him to win the election because of John McCain direct dopiness. He some how won over those which knew he could not win. Does not show astute order in the Party.
Had the Republicans won we would not be talking about Obama putting in judicial freaks to the court.
Now that he is in you and the Party better start working harder to tell the American people what this liar is really all about as you are now. Give him not an inch of maneuvering without directly calling it to the attention of the American people. They are not about to give up freedom so easily once it is determined what his judges really mean to do our great Country.
Mr. Steele take the fight to this President and make him as popular as George Bush was when he left office. Someone in the Republican Party had better get a pair of huge brass balls.

Barack Obama became an Illinois state legislator, his wife moved up as well, scoring a job as ‘vice president of community relations’ at the University Of Chicago Hospital for a very generous salary of $121,910. When Obama became a senator in 2005, her ’salary’ leapfrogged to $$316,962 for the same job…and one of Senator Obama’s first acts in office was to see to it that the hospital received over a million dollars of your tax dollars as an earmark.

Well, Michelle has moved on, and guess what…that vital job of hers, worth a salary of over $300 K has been quietly eliminated.

the thing that was interesting about this job is that the first thing Michelle did was to CUT FUNDING FOR INDIGENT PATIENTS!!!!! so much for EMPATHY. Goggle it and check it out.
The Obamas are political animals no more no less. They will use anyone to get where they are going and then get rid of them for political expediency. They are vile thugs from the Chicago mob political machinery. No more no less.

Steele is just jumping on the anti emphathy bandwagon after Orrin Hatch had his meltdown over the word. Hatch on ABC “This Week” last weekend accused Pres Obama of using code when he used the word emphathy. Orrin went on to say that emphathy is code word for Pro Abortion. Orrin knows that the term Pro Abortion is a figment of his teeny conservative brain. There is no such thing as Pro Abortion, that phrase is made up by the ultra right fringe. Orrin was guilty of code speech himself with that one. You have your pro choice group that favors freedom of choice on abortion and you have your pro life group that favors criminalization of abortion. There is no such thing as Pro Abortion. but then emphathy is not the strong suit of the ultra right wing cabal. they certainly are not fiscally conservative and they advocate big government as well.

texaslady Says:
Now everyone, empathy is a big word and Mr. Steele possible doesn’t know the meaning. After all empathy is not word in a conservative’s vocabulary.

But you KNOW how empathetic they are about UNBORN life, for example. It’s just ALREADY-born life, unless it is [you should pardon the phrase] STRAIGHT and narrow, for which they do not feel empathy. Any life [young, old, starving, sick, gay, bi-, divorced, pregnant but unmarried, immigrant, impoverished, uneducated, etc.] that deviates in any fashion from being cemented in conservatism is worth nothing–but that unborn life? Now THAT, they’re empathetic about.

Mike, before you empathize on some poor judge’s backside, make sure the furniture cleans up easy. So, another CONservative “accidentally” drops his pants and shows his true self. The self-loathing here is palpable. But really, this party continues to radicalize to point now where their spokespeople are sounding like the Waffen SS.

Here is a great article on Justices of the past, and what their lack of empathy led to.

“But how shall justice be done in human society? It can only be done by general laws. Those can never comprehend or forsee all the circumstances attending every particular case; and, therefore, it has been necessary to introduce another principle or element, mercy. In strictness, perfect justice includes mercy, and perfect mercy includes justice.” John Adams

Then there is the case from which all of Judeo-Christian ideas of excellence in adjudication derives–Solomon and the baby, in which empathy went to the heart of the matter.

You make the call: Michael Steele’s backside or John Adams and the wisdom of Solomon.

I’m a Democrat and I think in most ways Republican officials are behaving like jerks but I agree with Steele about this. Judges are not supposed to have “empathy” for “the daily realities of people’s lives.” That’s what Dr. Phil does. Supreme Court Justices are supposed to interpret the Constitution and the law, not base any element of their Judicial judgment on how they feel about people’s lives.

Do right wingers realize that without empathic judges the Terri Shiavo case would never have got as far as it did ?

Then again, maybe Steele has a point.

Today’s GOP bears no resemblance to the Republicans of Lincoln. They have long-since abandoned any claim they have to their more honorable ancestors.

Today’s GOP are the descendants of the “Dixiecrats” who abandoned the Democratic party because the party advanced the civil rights movement. Since the late 60’s, they have exhibited an increasing amount of control which has culminated in driving anyone with moderate views away. Heck! They’ve even started to lose the Hooverites.

The GOP is, almost exclusively, reduced to it’s most Right-wing fringe. And that fringe continues to drive away people with any sense of political, sociological, or historical awareness.
