9. Oh, GAWD, yes...
Keep him as RNC head and let Palin run for Pres in 2012, and they'll make Abbott & Costello seem Joan Baez & Angela Davis by comparison...

20. Yeah, so far, so good.
You've named one of the reasons Democrats should LOVE that he's RNC chair. He's going to hand us the ENTIRE Senate in a big blue ribbon between his awful personality and his rampant stupidity.

25. Call me a conspiracy theorist, a real tin-foil hatter, but
but Chairman Steele is making statements that almost seem as if he is bound and determined to destroy completely whatever credibility the Republic party had left with voters.

It's almost as if he got paid off to be ludicrous, on a daily basis, by someone that told him to be as outrageous as possible.

Whoever got him in there, great job!

32. Didn't know if you caught him on George's show on Sunday..
but he was arguing that "work" and "jobs" are not the same thing?!?!?!?

Ludicrous, indeed!

28. Shhh on his tax problem until October or so...
No need to expose him now and have him replaced. Let's drag his tax problem out just when Repug fundraising for 2010 starts kicking in... and then kick the SOB in the teeth.

29. True that! His determination to destroy what's left of the GOP is truly admirable
Any chairman that would congratulate his buddies on delivering a "goose egg" on a stimulus plan when people are dying from the worst economy in 70 years needs not only a boot up his ass but the scorn and condemnation of the entire nation.

Instead, he'll get propped up higher and higher by the GOP until he does or says something so criminally stupid that they are forced to remove him. Then he'll cry "racism!" and the GOP will somehow be even more screwed among the growing demographics of this nation. Ah, but that's just my vivid imagination working. :)

31. When you said "lay off" I thought you meant put out of work.
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 04:25 PM by Avalux
LOL. Yeah, he says a lot of stupid things. Repukes picked Palin cause she was a woman - EPIC FAIL. Then they pick Steele cause he's black - EPIC FAIL.

Both idiots.

37. I think the smartest strategy would be to ignore him
simply marginalize him to impressionable people. Let him rally his base--where deep racism in some quarters will be nothing but problems for him.

38. FYI: Bling bling's name is Steal, not Steele :-)
at least in my house it is.

We like to keep it in the family, same as the Steals do, apparently! :toast::toast::toast:

39. I think he is good for stirring up some mess on the right
I continue to say, maybe real racist haters like David Duke can turn their attention to Steele and not Obama. If there are a number of people to choose from for them to hate, maybe Obama will be safer.


If the Republican party can empty itself of race haters (due to Steele) and lose its academics (due to Palin), they truly will limp along. If suburban Republicans won't vote for foolish people and hater Republicans can't handle mixed tickets, then Republicans are in a pickle.

Let players play.
