RNC Chairman Steele: Go Moderate or Liberal..we'll come after you
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: RNC Chairman Michael Steele has been endorsing a “big tent” approach to recruiting candidates for 2010, emphasizing the need to find candidates who fit the needs of individual districts.

But on ABCNews.com’s “Top Line” today, Steele made clear there are limits to how far candidates can push the party’s limits.

Asked if he’d be comfortable with Republican candidates in 2010 who supported President Obama’s stimulus package, or his push to overhaul health care, Steele said:

“Well I’m gonna tell you honestly, that’s where the line gets a little bit tricky. And you saw in the House and in the Senate that there are ramifications, because that goes against a core principle. And trust me, you’re assuming that people want to have bloated debt, government expenditures and growth into their lives -- they don’t. That’s a talking point out of the DNC.”

“People aren’t buying that. So candidates 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 continued.

7. Is this much different than our desire to kick out Blue Dog dems?
You could substitute a few words here and have it come from Nancy Pelosi and we'd all applaud.

Just imagine...

"People aren’t buying that. So candidates who live in moderate to slightly conservative 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 liberal principles, social justice principles, because we’ll come after you,” Pelosi continued.
