WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Republican Chairman Michael Steele said Sunday the party will stand on principle but must use "smart leadership" in the next Congress.
The national committee chairman, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," said, "We're not going to compromise on creating more debt. We're not going to compromise on raising the debt ceiling. We're not going to compromise on increasing the burdens on the backs of small-business owners and families."
