WASHINGTON (AP) GOP officials say Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman will step down from his post in January.

[Killborn]

Bravo, it's sickening to see FReepers turn against these men on a dime. They'd be cheering his and Rove's genius if we retained Congress.

[Killborn]

Ya know what's worse?

When the DEMS get away with 100% of the scandals, scot-free.

I hope people do remember that he brought us some victories too. Plus kept the Party well financed. THese chairmen are often like college football Coaches. They are praised one day but after a bad season people get amnesia. I think we need a good face but still

Very well said, in my opinion. Ken was a very good worker.

There are some rather shallow and foolish folks on here at times.

Really-- what did I say wrong?

Mahar said he was going to "out" Mehlmen....

Are you claiming that Mahar did not say that?

Did I say-- "MEHLMAN IS GAY!"????

NO--- I DID NOT! I don't care if he is gay-- could care less....

I was laughing because all it takes is someone to claim an R is gay-- and POOF-- they are gone! Typical....

The GOP is just buckling all over this week....

- so don't come biting at me anymore.. YOU were the one who asked ME not to send you any more FREEPmails and leave you alone.. I have.....but then YOU think you can jump me?

GROW UP!

Don't be stupid.... you said in your post that I originally replied to that he quit because and right after Maher talked about him being gay, as if his decision was made because of Maher's words. That's just plain wrong!

Get real and stop all the absurd misdirected anger. You were just wrong to say it. So what, we've all been wrong now and then.

You were probably joking. Good. But you were wrong. Ken had planned to leave months ago.

Have a nice weekend............. and lay off the coffee.

[eeevil conservative]

the problem is that the DEMS are true to their lack of values.. so scandals don't matter to them.. they are pure party over country....and so is their voting base...

The GOP voting base is not Party over country....and the GOP hasn't figured that out...

Everything I HATE about the Dem party is what too many of our guys have become...

The base will stay split until we can all start to at least agree that we want to stick to our values and agenda....

right now-- everyone is still too pissed to start healing though....

hope we can all stop sniping at each other soon....so we can get our act together for 08...

But are "rumors" true? :) He is a gonner...water under the bridge, but I still want to know... Curiosity

Is HE or is he not a homosexual? (send me an email)

[fhlh]

Loth fauxNEWS...

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Every time I rec'd emails from him, I sent them back saying I would donate money to the GOP again when they grew some spines and cajon*$ and began hammering stakes into the ground on the border.

Mehlman gone? Oh good, I can reduce the size of my email inbox storage space from 80 terabytes to a gig or so!

Is HE or is he not a homosexual? (send me an email)

Yes. Along with Rove and some others too.

Look around at how many are middle-aged singles are there. Never seen in the company of the opposite sex, let alone a serious relationship.

It's an open secret.

[eeevil conservative]

but I LOVE my coffee...keeps me from being so cranky....

you should try it...

here- I even found you the perfect mug...

Bless you-- and I hope you feel better on Monday!

[ElPatriota]

Rove? Now you are pulling my leg :). But is it provable!... have then been seen in bath-houses, for instance.. or wherever they hang around?

COME ON people, be serious... :)

[ElPatriota]

..Look around at how many are middle-aged singles are there. Never seen in the company of the opposite sex, let alone a serious relationship...

OK THAT DOES IT!... for some mysterious reason, I've met several bacherlors, distant relations... they live alone, the grouchiest people you could imagine. They don't date all, although they did when younger, but just love to live alone. They don't date ANYTHING...mostly because for them that is a "hassle," they just love to be alone.

So let's not assume that being single and not dating makes a person a homo ok? :)

That spot should go to Newt Gingrich!!!

Q: What ever happened to his genius the "Contract with America???

LOL.

You just can't admit when you made a foolish, injurious joke about Ken Mehlman, and that you were VERY wrong. You are a fraudulent woman who really should be a liberal with your comment.

I was hoping that you'd stop this seismic foolishness and just drop a Jon Carry on me and HALP yourself by telling me that you were just joking and blew it. But instead, you still have to act like a silly, limp liberal who cannot admit being wrong on the facts.

I know Ken Mehlman and many of his friends in the party. You wrote/suggested that he QUIT because of Maher's homosexual comments. That was just wrong.

Ken Mehlman deserves better than your childish off-base remarks. Ken served the party very, very well, and did not leave because of the sick Bill Maher's comment.

But, I'm sure you will continue to hide from the truth. Nothing unusual for you. It's really quite sad ...... but again, you are consistent.

****

Give the Veterans a handshake today and tomorrow.......... you'll be better.

Rove? Now you are pulling my leg :). But is it provable!... have then been seen in bath-houses, for instance.. or wherever they hang around?

Never in the company of women over the course of decades. Likes to hang out at that bar in D.C. where the young gay lawyers from the DOJ hang out every day after work. He was the one who picked Mehlman for RNC chair too.

Then there's that little nickname W. has for him.

Figure it out.

Rove should go, like Mehlman. Not because they're gay. But because they lost and have provided bad advice. I still think Bush won in 2000 and 2004 despite Karl's brilliant strategy. This thread isn't long enough to list all the idiotic things Rove has done. I didn't suddenly take this position recently, I've said this same stuff for years. And it isn't about his sex life either. There are FReepers who are gay and it doesn't bother me at all if they're conservatives.

[George W. Bush]

ElPatriota, who do you think Jeff Gannon was seeing when he visited the White House so many times in contravention of security rules? Why was a phony GOP media operation (Talon News) created to give him cover to do this? Gannon was a male prostitute after all, posing as a reporter for a conservative media organization.

Karl isn't just some grumpy hetero bachelor. Not that I care about that. I care that he's helped lead us to defeat and that he was incredibly overrated to begin with. He's also been an enemy of the right wing ever since he was in Texas with Bush.

Hopefully, I'm not being too shocking here but, seriously, buy a clue. If this was Xlinton's White House, I think you'd already have figured it out.

Ever checked out Scooter Libby?

Hmmm.... still leery about this... In what world do I live in?... I AM a VALUES VOTER!... I came to the Reps because of that alone. If it weren't for that... I could be a Dem (sorry, but other issues are "negotiable.") Especially now that we are beginning the hear the term "Conservative Democrats" /s

How come I did not hear anything on this?... not even in "the list?"... I refuse to believe it yet! :)

But anyhow, what a great opportunity TO CLEAN UP!!!!

LET'S CLEAN UP THE PLACE

In the words of KOSMO KRAMER (Seinfeld's)... You are "blowing my mind,"... seriously...

I will have to check all this further... Jesssssssss...
