Shemp Steele to GOP Moderates: To the Back of the Bus

The GOP seems to think that including moderates in their party means that they have to STFU. Take Michael “Shemp” Steele, for instance:

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele appealed to the political middle Friday to join his party but added that the party itself wouldn’t moderate.

“All you moderates out there, y’all come. I mean, that’s the message,” Steele said at a news conference. “The message of this party is this is a big table for everyone to have a seat. I have a place setting with your name on the front.

“Understand that when you come into someone’s house, you’re not looking to change it. You come in because that’s the place you want to be.”

In other words, get on the back of the bus, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins – you’re kind aint welcome here.
