Why can’t a white person be considered for the job?

>> Why can’t a white person be considered for the job? <<

We could but I would like to see the OSM try to explain how the GOP is racist for removing Steele for Walter Williams, JC Watts, Thomas Sowell or Alan Keyes.

I think their mind would explode or something.

That being said I think it should be headed by Palin or even Palin/Sowell

Shut him up—fire him now!

We need men now more than ever, not wishy-washy posers.

“It drives the media insane that an articulate, conservative, African American is heading up the GOP.”

Can we all agree that the last time the idiots in this country voted pigment first the results REALLY SUCKED SH*T!!!

I don’t care what color they are, get a black man, fine! Just make sure he’s a real man with real character and a set of huevos!

For God’s sake, do not repeat the mistake!

Agreed. He is the weakest link (after McCain and co.)

The RNC needs to catch up. They are in a bad spot now because if they can Steele there will be “racial overtones”.

Kind of like dumping Powell for voting Obozo. No way the DBM doesn’t spint the race thing.

No question about it, the country club republicans have no use for Sarah Palin.

I agree with you here. I like Palin a lot, I think she would be awesome as the chair of the party. I disagree with you about Mccain. I think that old fool would lose badly in 2012.

Yep. My patience is exhausted. I really like Steele, and when he's good he's very good--but all these awkward missteps--he doesn't think we'll take the house? Not our year? What kind of coach is this?

People vote for candidates for all kinds of reasons. I don’t think the majority of people voted for Obama because he was African American. They voted for him because he wasn’t a Republican, because he wasn’t John McCain, and he didn’t have a long track record of disasters behind him (though he’s creating many right now).

If you think most people voted for B.O. because he was black, that’s certainly your opinion. I do not share it.

I think he was elected because he was black. I think enough people wanted to see someone other than an evil white man get elected, for a “change.”

I think it was a big show and a headf**k that actually worked.

I think it was memorizing to a lot of people. How else can you explain the ignoring of his past, his voting record (or lack thereof), his inexperience, his radical associations?

The guy was and is a hard-left, narcissistic, power monger. It was plain as day three years ago, just as it is today.

A white man would have at least been vetted, if not raked through the coals for these things.

Yes, clearly he was elected because he is only half-white.

Good post!
The "flinch and grimace factor" is off the charts at this point.

“Eric Holder is a good guy, he’s a good friend of mine”-—Michael Steele.

IMO, Steele is a DEMONCRAT mole. FIRE HIS ASS.

You think the note I sent him is what has him so upset?

Heck, I wouldn’t suggest he resign if I had the ability to fire him. I’d save him the effort of resigning.

It isn’t rocket science Michael. Be a real conservative, or get out. I don’t think our message to you is all that ambiguous.

OK. You’re fired unless you become miraculously a 100% Conservative. Can a RHINO change its spots?????

Why does it have to be a BLACK conservative? How about the best person for the job? Really, haven't we already been called racist anyway? It's not like we'd be losing the black vote, 0bama has that already tied up. What's with all this affirmative action stuff? If he's not up to the task(and he's not), then he needs to go and his replacement should be whomever can do the best job of energizing and uniting the party and bringing in cash.
