Does everyone think that RNC Chairman Michel Steele is Finished

[RJ Connors]

I have been looking around the net tonight and am seeing some stories about some in the Republican party are ready to throw Steele overboard for not being conservative enough for them. So of course I had to stop by the bastion of conservative intellectualism of the new millennium FreeRepublic, to see what they are saying about him. Here is the results of the search I put in and it ain't pretty.

Long Knives for Steele Already?

TO REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE:

Good Ole Michael Steele

To name just a few.

Seems that Mr. Steele did not understand that part of the requirements of the job of being the RNC Chairman is that one has to be, in both form and substance, a fascist. Clearly, it was obvious when he spoke in demeaning terms about the Head Fascist of the party, "Boss Limbaugh", that he did not understand this reality and I saw somewhere a short mention that he may have said something to the effect of, a women does have a right to choose. So the long knives are being released from the sheaths.

But doesn't giving Steele the boot at this stage of the game seriously hurt the Republicans further than they have already hurt themselves? It almost seems impossible to ask that question as one has to wonder if that is even possible but I guess the Republicans are getting ready to show the world that yes they can tear themselves up even further.

I mean let's face it, a big part of the party's decision to put Steele in the big chair was so they can demonstrate that like the Democrats, they too hire black people and all this talk about them being raciest is just another big liberal conspiracy. So what does this say about the party of Lincoln who hires a black guy and then gives him the boot before he's even had time to make the office his own?

Just wanted to see some others thoughts on this phenomenon in today's bizarre political landscape.

1. I figured Steel was done before he even got elected! They elected him

because he was black and some idiots thought he would cull some following from Obama for the Pubs. No different really than picking the tundra babe as vp to offset hillary's support. They really don't have a clue to how most people think!

9. I agree 100 %

It seems awfully funny that there was never ANY mention of the "upcoming" Steele in the repukes UNTIL....oh my God, the DEMOCRATS have a BLACK man as candidate for PRESIDENT.....no, can't be true, surely even THEY wouldn't do THAT :sarcasm:

2. If he survives

he might just lead the party. Sad, but true. I think he'll break but if he can go through Rush, being "Pro-Choice" and all this backlash, I don't see why he won't stay.

3. He never even got started n/t

[Ian David]

4. Yes. And they're going to quietly whisper because the job was too hard for a black guy to do. n/t

5. Freepers don't like those kinda people period...

I hear the "n" word more now than ever express by those mentally challenged Repukes. I am waiting for the next time and will fire back at them about the guy who chairs their party...I can't wait to see the acid rise.

6. It's not just that he's not conservative enough

He's ridiculous and silly. "Off the hook?" "One-armed midgets?" He's a joke. He's too much of a publicity whore, too. He seems more interested in getting in front of a camera than he does about actually rolling up his sleeves and organizing the party.

I'm all for the Reichpublikans keeping Steele around as long as possible, but honestly he's not doing the job for which they elected him.

[Burma Jones]

7. He's not a very bright man

Unless you reduce the cohort to just the 'Pukes.......

[saltpoint]

8. In the quietest moments one hears no voice raised on behalf of Steele.

The few who say they still support him are speaking in general, perfunctory terms.

Not one rousing, "Hell, yes, I'm for Chairman Steele!" among them.

I think he's a goner.

10. Steele blows it again on TV

Steele made yet another disastrous television appearance over the weekend... it's hard to see how he can hang on with PR like this.

11. The WHOLE PARTY is done!

OUT OF 950 FEDERAL ELECTIONS SINCE 2004 THE GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ONLY SEEN FIVE (5) OF ITS MEMBERS ACTUALLY LOSE. MEANWHILE THE REPUBLIC PARTY IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING EITHER VOTED OUT OF EXISTANCE OR MORPHING INTO A MINOR LEAGUE REGIONAL PARTY
