Bill Bennett endorses Michael Steele

Bill Bennett is one of my favourite conservative authors, conservative commentators, and when I have the opportunity to listen, favourite conservative talk radio personality.

So when he comes out and endorses Michael Steele for RNC Chair, maybe that will shut some people up cause the “real” conservatives to give Steele another look…

Dear Friend:

I wanted to take a moment to write to you on behalf of Michael Steele. Michael Steele is a friend of mine, and I think he would be an excellent leader for our party as RNC Chairman. The purpose of my letter is very simple. I want to address the issue of who Michael Steele is and where he stands.

In recent weeks, some have tried to make the argument that Michael Steele is somehow less than pro-life. Michael Steele is a man who has the courage of his convictions and has always been pro-life. As chairman of the MD GOP he was pro-life, as a candidate for Lt. Governor he was pro-life, and as a Senate candidate from Maryland he was pro-life. In fact, Michael Steele has even been the speaker at pro-life events. And, now, as a candidate for Chairman of the RNC, Michael Steele is pro-life. On other issues important to the GOP—and America—from lower taxes to a vibrant entrepreneurial encouragement of the economy to a strong national defense, Michael Steele is solid and as good a spokesman on these issues as I know.

I heartily support him to be Chairman of the RNC.

Sincerely,

William J. Bennett
