Quips & Quotes from Michael Steele

“I’m here to tell the people of Nevada a Senate seat is an awful thing to waste and do not waste it by re-electing Harry Reid.”

“You’ve got a lot of folks running around town talking trash about what they’re going to do. Look, after twenty-four years, if you haven’t gotten it done, what makes you think the next six are gonna get it done?”

“Please, can we stop the silly noise about the Tea Party and the GOP fighting each other? We are locked hand-in-hand to unseat Harry Reid and elect Sharron Angle.”

Steele also said the Tea Party movement was changing the GOP, “I think for the better,” while implying a word of warning for potential officeholders that “if you get to Washington and do same-old, same-old you’re done.”

When asked about the Nevada Republicans who are supporting Harry Reid over Sharron Angle, Steele replied, “I’m disappointed with that. I think that any Republican who’s standing there supporting Harry Reid needs to really think about whether you’re really a Republican. Don’t use the word, don’t make the claim and then go out there and support policies and individuals that go counter to the pro-growth, pro-business, pro-free market policies that we’ve advocated in this party for generations.”
