MICHAEL STEELE: Trump Needs To Stop With This Birther Stuff
Business Insider ^ | Apr. 21, 2011 | By Steven Loeb

Posted on 04/21/2011 9:36:08 PM PDT by RINOs suck

With his rise in popularity Donald Trump has now started to have to defend himself against Republicans who think that his focus on the birther issue is going to hurt the party. This includes Karl Rove, who recently called Trump a "joke candidate."

Now you can add former RNC chairman Michael Steele, who appeared on Hardball last night and dismissed the birther issue as "silly," to that list.

"Rank and file Republicans don't give a rat's giblet let about the birther issue."

So if, as Steele seems to believe, Trump is self-immolating over this matter, why bother him.

Mike, buddy, pal,...you’ve done your damage and had your 15 min. Now go away. Perhaps you and Karl can find a good S&M club, kick back and watch the show...

Politics clearly ain’t your bag...baby.

I can’t even cite one single achievement from him. All I know is that white-guilt caused him to be elected.

“He’s annoying the right people.”

All of the usual D.C. suspects are piping up on Trump now. Which makes me wonder, even more, what’s being hidden “For The Good of The Nation”.

There is a HUGE effort being directed at shutting up and minimalizing those daring to ask questions, and that, in itself, should be telling people something.

It is rather amusing that these fools are going on record about was is “silly” just before Jerome Corsi’s book on the subject comes out. At least Rove was smart enough to tone his birther comments down substantially over the last few days realizing what might be coming...

Rove and Steele...

Birds of a feather
Dual airbags
Partners in crime
The RINO Twins
Left cheek and right cheek
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

You get the point.

Trump is no prize, but then neither are either one of these two jackasses.

We have become like the frog in the pot of water...

Obama withheld his birth certificate and other personal records to get elected by using race as a distraction - anyone who questioned anything was labeled a racist. Once he was in office, the heat started getting turned up - czars, bailouts, stimulus, cap & tax, immigration — all the socialist programs came in and yet only a few realized the water was getting pretty warm, and they were ignored. Now, after 3 years this guy Trump comes along and seems to be the only one who has a thermometer. As soon as he starts talking about it openly, everyone realizes it’s become pretty hot around here!

And now comes Michael Steele saying “Hey stop it with that silly hot water stuff...no one cares a rat’s giblet about what the water temperature is”.

If you can’t decide who to believe, just ask yourself this question: Are we in hot water, or not?

There it is. The answer in one simple, to the point sentence.

Why don’t Steele just say what he believes? Trump is a racist for bringing this up.

Notice they can say anything about anyone and it’s okay.
Look at how they have trashed Sarah Palin. Now they are calling Trump a “joke”. Oh yes, anything goes for a Republican and they can investigate every bit of history about them. Obama gets a free pass on what we know is fraud. NO ONE would spend millions of dollars covering up their records just to “surprise” the Republicans later.
Even the cowardly Republicans are scared of the truth about Obama...figure that.
