Steele to moderate Republicans: 'We'll come after you'
Wait--isn't Steele a Moderate Rep?
RNC Chairman Michael Steele, channeling his party's energized conservative wing, said the party will "come after" moderates who support President Obama's domestic policies.
"[C]andidates who live in moderate to slightly liberal districts have got to walk a little bit carefully here, because you do not want to put yourself in a position where you’re crossing that line on conservative principles, fiscal principles, because we’ll come after you,” Steele told ABC's Top Line in response to a question about Republicans who support the White House's stimulus and health care plans.
“You’re gonna find yourself in a very tough hole if you’re arguing for the president’s stimulus plan or Nancy Pelosi’s health plan. There’s no justification for growing the size of government the way this administration and this Congress wants to do it.”
Steele didn't name targets, but prominent governors -- Charlie Crist and Arnold Schwarzenegger -- supported the stimulus, while Olympia Snowe appears to be the lone Senate supporter of health care legislation.
Steele didn't say what form retribution would take.

what steele doesnt seem to
what steele doesnt seem to understand is that he is a moderate just like mitt romney and rudy giuliani and the rest of the republican establishment
they need to stop trying to control the way the party thinks and what it does and what it supports and let the people decide for themselves
stop trying to have a central plan for freedom ... IT DOESNT WORK!
He's going to rap at them
That will bring them around.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
