Local Tea Party co-founder doesn’t want Steele ‘out there with the tea partiers.’

Yesterday on Fox News, RNC chair Michael Steele said that if he wasn’t currently leading the Republican Party, he’d join the ranks of the far right tea party protesters. “As I like to tell people — long before there was this big push on tea parties — if I wasn’t doing this job, I’d be out there with the tea partiers,” he said. This afternoon, Fox’s Neil Cavuto hosted Quincy, IL Tea Party co-founder Steve McQueen and asked him whether Steele would be welcome. “Not quite, Neil,” McQueen replied:

CAVUTO: Retired Army Sergeant First Class and tea party activist Steve McQueen saying, “Not so fast Mr. Steele.” He joins me right now. Steve, you would say “not quite,” right?

MCQUEEN: Not quite, Neil. Actually the Tea Party is, I liken that to an army of Davids which I am only one. I do confer with Tea Party organizations all over the country so I feel confident that I understand what the movement’s about and as I understand it right now, the GOP is currently on probation with the American people and obviously you can’t be on probation and probably be a member of the Tea Parties at the same time.

1. Like I said before, teabaggers hate republicans too.

Michael Steele is an embarrassment to the GOP, which makes him perfectly qualified for his position.

2. Bullshit

Teabaggers ARE Republicans

[FarLeftFist]

5. Some of them are but....

The main groups: tea party express and tea party patriots consider themselves to be a conservative movement and would just as easily throw out republican politicians that don't meed their stupid criteria's. Don't get me wrong, if push comes to shove they will most likely vote republican in the same manner Liberals will most likely vote Democrat. Conservatism is just the opposite of Liberalism.

7. Teabag(gop)ers

Teabaggers are republicans who are ashamed to call themselves republicans. They know the damage caused by Bush and the supporting GOP. Actually, they aren't so much ashamed as just being to cowardly to admit it. In the end, they will all vote republican, because there is no where else for them to go. Libertarians are too liberal in some respects, and they aren't going to actually start a third party.

6. Goooo Tea Party they need to run in every Senate race stick it to that big ol' elephant in the room.

Nothing wrong with a bit of a spoiler to help the proceedings, as long as we get the Democratic vote out nicely ahtat should od the trick.

8. A bunch of BULLSHIT all over the TV tonight...

Even on MSNBC Ron Paul was spewing BS about Teapartyers are Democrats and Republicans.

THE MAJORITY OF TEABAGGERS ARE REPUBLICAN AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE AGAINST OUR PRESIDENT!
