Michael Steele is just heart breaking. Of all people in the country who should understand that the message of learning and living the principles on which we were founded has the potential to raise everyone whatever their status starting out in life, it should be him.
And then he goes out there with the story line that the government should promise you stuff and all will be well. Is that what he is saying?
A prediction: when this jerk is given the heave-ho from his position as head of the RNC, he will defect to the ‘RATS.
Pandering to the “black” vote is the province of the Demorats. More entitlements, Muslim friendly, bigger government, more public employment, etc. Blacks don’t vote for anything else except in microscopic numbers which votes the GOP already gets. Forget them. Grievance politics is a loser’s strategy.
The republican party has spent tons of money and time over the last decade on “black outreach”. I remember when President Bush would make his yearly pilgrimage to the NAACP convention. For what? Blacks support democrats at the same rate they did before the outreach. Eventually it comes to a point where Republicans need to cut their losses and tell the black community, “This is what we believe, take or leave it. If your interested call us, we’re done calling you.”
How about this for a reason?
“The GOP is not the one that’s been the Party of Slavery for 200 years!”
The Democrat party has; using people of African ancestry to convert cotton seeds to cotton bales before The Late Unpleasantness, terrorizing them via the KKK for 100 years after that, and today enslaving them again on the big-city urban plantations, using them to convert other people’s money into votes.
So does Steele think the GOP should start promising more gov’t cheese? — bigger welfare checks, slavery reparations, etc. Is THAT his plan?
Steele, resign. Please. Take McCain and Graham with you.
The last I looked, Americans come in all colors.
Oy!
Unfortunately Michael, the RNC made you the leader because of your skin color. not because of your accomplishments. You have done a crappy job and now it is time to move on. If the African American community insists on staying on the Democrat Plantation, than so be it.
Just has many Blacks are realizing a shared destiny with the republican party
Steele turns them away at the door.
“The Republican Party has not given African Americans a good reason to vote for the party”
As long as we’re being honest, the GOP hasn’t given anyone - not just blacks - a good reason to vote for the party. The only reason people are likely to vote for it is because they seem to want to vote against our socialist president and congress.
It appears as though he hates white people so much that he is willing to allow the thing he is charged with managing to fail?
With leadership like this 0bama has a clear shot at installing Socialism in America.
It’s about Liberty stupid. Steele has shown his true colors (no pun intended) and needs to go.
I want blacks who love their country to join the GOP because it is the only party out to save their country. I don’t want people who must be treated specially and bought.
When can we see a changing of the guard. What a buffoon! I think he’s on Team Hate America.
