Steele is against a resolution renaming the Democratic Party.'

OXON HILL, Maryland (CNN) — 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."

However, New Jersey committeeman David Norcross, one of the sponsors of the resolution, told CNN the language is being massaged so that Steele and others on the committee will be more receptive.

"The language is being changed so that the proposers and chairman Steele are on the same page," Norcross said.

He said that as of Tuesday afternoon, the chairman of the RNC Standing Committee on Resolutions had changed the language to "condemn the Democrats' march to socialism" instead of "talking about the 'Democrat Socialist' party."

The change was made, Norcross said, so that members "wouldn't have to fight about it, and I think everybody agreed."

1. I think it's lousy news. I wanted the gop to show the country just how lame

they really are. Amid all the problems this country faces, and 'this' is what the gop wanted to concentrate on?

I say it's too bad.

2. Don't worry. They'll come up with a lot more ways to exhibit their essential lameness.

I know you are, but what am I ?!?!
I know you are, but what am I ?!?!

I highly approve of the GOP strategy lately.
The flailing death spiral.

5. Partly because the black guy at the helm has a problem with that crap, as anyone should.

For a party that you're calling white, they sure find a way to get people of color out in front to tout their messages and spread their manure (Steele, Rice, Powell *pere et fils*, Armstrong Williams, Keyes, Watts, Paige, Thomas, Swann, etc.). And let's not forget the Asian contingent, led by Elaine Chao and Bobby Jindal...and the Cuban and PR business crowd that has cleaved to that bunch (Ileana Ros Lehtinen, et.al.) since well before Dick Nixon was snuggling with Bebe Rebozo.

Minorities aren't represented in force, but the ones who go along/git along do very well in terms of both personal visibility and paydays. It's not hard work, I guess, except for that little soul-selling bit at the outset.

9. The ChristoFascist Republican Party

Why :shrug: doesn't the DNC introduce a counter resolution to rename the Republican Party. God, they're so childish they're pathetic.

10. I was amazed even THEY would consider voting on such a matter.

I'm disappointed the RNC imbecilic side caved.
