It's like they're determined to fail.

I know. It's baffling. It's getting to the point that I almost believe they do have some secret, special plan because there's no way to explain their behavior by looking at the known facts.

Asked why he would purposely say things that would be construed as gaffes, he said, "I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they're with me but really isn't."

Case in point. Even as an April Fool's joke, that makes no sense.

Nah, they really are this dumb. This isn't related, but your comment reminded me of McCain's behavior a few days before the election where he was acting so sure that he was going to win that it was making all of us here scared that he had some secret plan to steal the election.

his comments on abortion were not mistakes but part of a strategic plan to get his GOP enemies to reveal themselves

...these people just look like a sad, tired joke. Go ahead, attack, Snowe, Collins and Specter as traitors- and don't forget Crist and the Utah guy. Make sure they keep crossing the aisle.

She and other conservatives are concerned that Mr. Steele's sometimes conflicting public statements have diverted attention from what they see as the disastrous leadership of Mr. Obama and the Democrats who run Congress.

Not pandering to the conservative right does not equal 'disastrous leadership'. STFD.

"I'm very introspective about things...I'm a cause-and-effect kind of guy. So if I do something there is a reason for it. Even though it may look like a mistake or a gaffe, there's a rationale - a logic - behind it."

"I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they're with me but really isn't."

"It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand where the enemy camp is. And where those who are inside the tent are. It's all strategic."

..anyone else here think he's starting to believe his own spin?

Seriously. Blago/Steele 2012

Or Steele/Blago. They're open minded.

They want to attack Snowe, Collins and Specter in a meeting- that reminds me of the self-criticism sessions they used to have in Stalin's Russia and Mao's China. Truly, these people are totalitiarians.
