As a proud CONSERVATIVE who happens to be half black, I can say for a fact that you are NEVER going to get the Black vote. Black people have been raised to believe that Republicans are against Civil Rights, mostly since Barry Goldwater vs Johnson in 1964.
Michael Steele in my opinion has been making a fool of himself with his "hip hop" strategy. I hope someone tells him.
An liberal will not vote GOP until they grow up and educate themselves. As long as the DEMS support them (until our country’s credit runs out), they will vote for DEMS. Words will not do it.
This sickens me. I recently withdrew a pledged donation to the RNC after listening to Steele on CNN trashing Rush. Here is the text of an email I sent the RNC yesterday:
I’m sorry but I am withdrawing my pledge and will not donate a single dime to the RNC until you can assure me that no funds will be remitted to Specter, Snowe, and Collins. Because of them, my children will suffer an unconscionable burden of debt in support of a liberal social agenda. Until the RNC denounces them, I cannot support you. Moreover, Steele also needs to understand that his disparaging comments on CNN towards Rush Limbaugh are personally insulting to Conservatives like myself. If the RNC wakes up and embraces Rush’s views, which I support, and denounces the RINO’s, I will consider reinstating future pledges. Until then, please REMOVE me from your mailing list and cease soliciting contributions from me. Based on the views I’ve read and seen espoused by Chairman Steele, I consider myself a CONSERVATIVE. not a Republican.
Will someone please educate me and explain how a person becomes the head of the Republican National Committee?
Does someone pick him?
Is he elected?
Thank you.
Oh yes, who did the picking/electing whatever this time?
Thank you again.
“Is this what we really need?”
No. This is what they (Socialist/Democrats) need.
The Socialist/Democrats must be quietly rejoicing as the Republican Party moves further towards oblivion.
Apparently electing Michael Steele as the leader of the Republican Party was the kiss-of-death for that Party.
Apparently electing Michael Steele as the leader of the Republican Party is key to the movement towards a Conservative third Party that will provide the Socialist/Democrats ruling majority for generations to come.
With a Third Party we will not only have to sell Conservative ideas and principles, but a new Political Party as well. The selling of the ideas isn’t as difficult as selling the label of a new Party (the block on the ballot to mark), especially during a time of dubious “change” that promotes suspicion of everyone in the Political theater.
Steele was a bad choice from a Conservative perspective.
Wondering if that is what is the intent.
I dunno. Had Rush been wearing a neck full of gold bling and sporting a grill in combination with his black attire, tossed in a few “yo” and “beeches” he’d have looked and sounded hip for the urban crowd during his CPAC speech.
I just don’t get it. How can they not see that the reason that they are in “the crapper” now is because they failed to deliver on conservative issues? The whole problem with the Republican Party is that they did remake their “image”. They became the party of big spending and big government..perfectly willing to sell out the American people.
I tried to have high hopes for Steele..but your right. He’s making a fool of himself, and of Republicans.
Steele’s right.
Let him do his job.
