I didn't say they were. I was responding, in part, to your comment that you hadn't heard anyone in Maryland say that the "Steele Democrat" slogan was intended to mislead.

I noticed that you didn't have anything to say about the phony sample ballots depicting Ehrlich and Steele as Democrats, the ones that Steele hired homeless people from Philadelphia to distribute. What is Steele's explanation on that one? Or how about this:

Quote:

So the Ehrlich and Steele campaigns sent out to heavily Democratic black neighborhoods in Prince George's County flyers that were designed to deceive black voters into thinking the candidates had been endorsed by three popular Maryland African-American politicians: Prince George's County Executive Jack B. Johnson, former P.G. County Executive Wayne K. Curry, and former Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who more recently served as president of the NAACP. (In fact, two of these three men had endorsed Ehrlich and Steele's Democratic opponents, Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley and Democratic Rep. Ben Cardin. The third, Curry, endorsed Steele but not Ehrlich.)

Is that just more misinformation?

Maybe we should look at the principles he espouses rather than the color of his skin.

No it doesn't. The GOP's newly found inclusiveness is laughable that's all.

I have no explanation for it.

I am not too strong in favor of Steele. IMO, he is not conservative enough. He is more of a big government liberal than I would like.

the repubs will not succeed being democrat-lite. People who want democrats will vote for the genuine article; not a pretend version.

I was thinking more along the lines of our President.
