A Winning Combination for the RNC? (Fred Thompson and Chuck Yob enter as a co-chairmen ticket?!)
Boston Herald ^ | November 13, 2008 | Holly Robichaud

The fight for the Chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (RNC) seems to have more players on the field than a football game. However, a few serious contenders are emerging from the field such as Katon Dawson and Michael Steele.

In a new twist today former Presidential candidate and United States Senator Fred Thompson is poised to enter the race with a partner, Michigan National Committeeman Chuck Yob, as his co-chairman. Thompson would be the public face/spokesman of the RNC while Yob run the Party’s operations.

This partnership of Thompson and Yob could be the winning combination. Already they seem to be gaining momentum. As of tonight Oklahoma Republican Chairman Gary Jones has endorsed the ticket. “We have an extremely large task ahead of us and Senator Thompson has the art of message. When he speaks people listen,” stated Jones. “Chuck Yob is a strong grassroots organizer. As a businessman Chuck will be able to manage the resources of the Party. It is an attractive combination.”

Nobody will ever accuse Chuck Yob of being wishy washy! He was so mad at McCain when he pulled out of MI along with the RNC that I am not sure the phone lines will ever be the same again.

The guy that is running it is Mike Duncan the National Committeeman from Kentucky who took over when Bush’s pick Martinez quit. I bet if I asked all Republicans not 1% would know who he was.

Fred is a good guy and I WANTED to vote for him

BUT

he has no FIRE.

We need someone who is PASSIONATE and MOTIVATED.

This is not the position for Fred. I don’t know much about the other guy.

No, not at all. Where was Mr. Jones in January and February 2008. It seems so long ago now.

We want no more RINO's!!!!!!!!

If Steele is a Tom Delay kind of Conservative Republican that is not afraid to speak his mind then he is the guy we want.

Excellent video. Thanks for posting the link.

I have suspected for a long time that the Soviets (Russians), and probably the Chinese, as well, are beating our brains in with PsyOps (psychological operations). I just hadn't heard or read of anyone who could confirm it until now.

The most chilling is the part where he says that the subversion of America has been more successful than even Andropov would have dreamed.

Fifteen to twenty years to begin to turn it around, if we start now. But we just elected the wrong guy.

The future could be very dark. The only bright spot is the Schadenfreude, knowing that the useful idiots will be executed first.

Steele favors the Assault Weapons Ban: http://www.ontheissues.org/Domestic/Michael_Steele_Gun_Control.htm
That's a RINO position. That disqualifies him from any future in the GOP in my book.

Well, Michigan has a Helluva Republican Party, don’t they. (Although I don’t know anything about Yob to be honest).

This works and puts Conservatives in control. No matter what, Fred is a Conservative and Fred gets my support.
