Republicans Say No to "Democrat-Socialist" Resolution and Clown Suits
May 20, 2009 01:16 PM ET

By Robert Schlesinger, Thomas Jefferson Street blog

Give credit where it's due: RNC Chairman Michael Steele managed some successful party leadership today. Though in all fairness, that leadership essentially took the form of convincing his fellow Republicans not to dress up in a collective clown suit and convey their policy preferences through air horn blasts.

From CNN.com:

Members of the Republican National Committee appear to have reached a compromise that would let GOP leaders avoid a possible dispute over a controversial resolution that calls on Democrats to re-name their party the "Democrat Socialist party."

Steele has come out against the resolution, calling it "not an appropriate way to express our views on the issues of the day." One of Steele's allies on the committee, Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer, told CNN the resolution is "stupid" and "ridiculous."

So... instead of re-nicknaming the Democratic Party (which they already call the Democrat Party) as the "Democrat Socialist Party," they're going simply vote to condemn the "Democrats' march toward socialism.

1. The Republic™ Party

We can change their name too. But why bother naming a dead horse?

[Hepburn]

8. I like the "Irrelephants."

I forgot what DUer coined that term... but I sure love it!

:hi:

11. Oh, that is nice.

But I still wish we had the noble elephant and they were stuck with the jackass.

[FightingIrish]

2. A proposed compromise by John Boner would have named the Democratic Party

The "Democrat Poopie Head Party". It was narrowly defeated.

[tridim]

3. Regardless, we still have a week of MSM coverage calling the Democrats..

the "Democrat Socialist Party", which was probably the plan all along.

[Echo In Light]

5. Likely perceived as an upshot since it favors seeding the public mind accordingly

[The Hope Mobile]

6. And they still have a week's worth of coverage telling everybody

that they were dumb enough to even suggest this. I think we win in this situation.

[loyalkydem]

4. that

is the first "smart' thing I've seen Steele do in a long while.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

7. Well,

there goes the new GOP platform.

Back to the drawing board, dammit ....................

[Arugula Latte]

9. Oooh -- They're condemning us!

Oh no! :o I'm shaking, how about you guys?

[liberalmuse]

10. I wish the Democrats would turn around and condemn them for war crimes.

That would be something.

[aquart]

12. Prosecute, even. Or perhaps, admonish.
