About a week ago, I was extremely excited to learn that Maryland’s own Michael Steele was elected as the new chairman of the Republican National Committee. I am excited because I believe that Mr. Steele has all of the qualities that the present circumstances require of the new RNC Chairman.
A couple of months ago, I endorsed Newt Gingrich as my first choice to be the next RNC Chairman; In doing so, I outlined a few qualities that I believed that the RNC’s new chairman should have. I said that our next chairman should be able to go toe to toe with President Obama, and be able to offer a clear ideological alternative to his policies.
Michael Steele can do that and more. In choosing Michael Steele as their new leader, the Republican Party has chosen an excellent communicator of conservative principles, and someone who is personally invested in winning the war of ideas against liberalism.
I believe that the time is ripe for a conservative resurgence in the Republican Party. After 8 years of abandoning our principles, we as a party have finally been humbled to the point where we can accomplish some real lesson learning. Under Chairman Steele, we can expect a resurgence of conservative ideas that will help us win a middle class majority of American Voters.
Congratulations and thanks to Chairman Steele, for finally bringing real change to the Republican Party.
