Because if it's supposed to Mr. Steele, he is really doing a piss poor job at it so far.
I will call it like I see it without going into a prolonged debate.
I don't think there is any unity in the GOP right now.
I don't think everyone is on the same page.
I don't really think they right now which direction they need to take.
At this rate, if the GOP keeps doing what it's doing, they may as well settle in for a nice long 8 to 12.
...yes, I said 12...

Haha...oh DS, you crazy anti-Republican you...
Don't worry, I won't force you to get into a prolonged debate; I understand we all have other things we need to be doing in our lives. And, I realize the time-honored tradition on GC of making provocative, out there statements (such as say comparing the Republicans to a multi-headed monster), then qualifying the statement by discouraging any further debate.
I suppose if someone referred to the Democrats as Godzilla, a singular monster laying waste to the countryside, that too wouldn't merit debate...but I digress.
I will say that your comment about 8-12 years pre-supposes that President Obama will be successful enough to stave off any possible Republican challengers, no matter how fractured the party. Of course, that's still an open question.
I would only argue that Steele is no more of the voice of the Republican party than Howard Dean would be, or that Rush is no more the voice of the party than Al Franken. There's no one "voice" of a national party (other than, arguably, what's written in the party platform, and I still think that would be an overgeneralization).
But, as you said, no debate, so I'll drop it there.
