NC chairman asked National Chairman (Michael Steele) to resign

overspending on private planes + limos
$2k for bondage nite

as the 1st black gop chairman, he should be above reproach. he should set an example. all eyes are on him to fail.

instead, he's spending $ like it was his own piggy bank. and lack of disipline/procedure/judgement among his staff.


i think he only got the job because he's black just to counter balance Obama during the 2008 presidential election. looks like another bad PR move by the GOP, just like picking Sarah Palin.

Your take?

I wonder who they're going to put back on next. It seems like the RNC can only think 2 days in advance, and have no capability to plan any long-term strategy. At their pace, I'm sure they will pick some random Tea-bagger figure head to placate their Fox News overlords and keep on sucking Limbaugh's hate-milk.

the repugs have more in fighting then the dems right now. They inbreed more too.

Your take?

I think if he steps aside, then things are going to get very interesting....

 

[nageov3t]

you mean black people can do their job badly just like white people? :shocked:

 

[JSt0rm]

black people have to be better then white people to get ahead. Its how our great nation is set up.

Michael Steele thinks so too.

Nice to see the "progressive" bring race into an issue where race has nothing to do with his performance.

Should he simply get a free pass because he is black?

 

[JSt0rm]

well we fight for mike because he is secretly one of us. Well not so secret, I mean you can see it all over his face.

I like Steele but he's been terrible. With the Dems becoming a socialist party that has been ripping the country from its solid foundations in a fashion similar to a political mafia (and they have taken a collaborationist stance with enemies and other sketchy actors) Steele has been flaccid and almost non responsive. He was not really accomplished in anything before his appointment (more noted for being Mike Tysons former bro-in-law than anything) and I suspect he was appointed with a "hey we got flava too" attitude.


Michael Steele: serial failure

his campaign for senate in MD was truly an embarrassment... I was shocked when he became the RNC chair tbh.

I's all part of the secret GOP Operation Crazy Plan:

1) Outrage
2) Block & Blame
3) More Outrage
4) Hire Token Black Dude
5) Even More Outrage
6) Fire Token Black Dude

No secret plan, high hopes were placed with Mike Steele. The Repubs need to rebuild and Steele, much as I like him personally from my residence in MD, is not the man for the job. Time to make room for the next man.

Granted, Micheal Steele has not been exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he may be a genius compared to anyone else in the GOP.

And then we must also ask, who can the GOP tap to be its token black? JC Watts got tired of being trotted out every four years for the next GOP rainbow convention, and then being consigned to a warehouse during the remaining four years.

But now I have a brilliant answer, tap Clarance Thomas for the job, of course he would have to resign his Scotus seat, but he is a crowd black favorite sure to attract the black vote back to the GOP.

 

[JSt0rm]

they need to go back to a salty old white guy. I recommend dick morris. Half the base hates black people and they put a black man in charge. That can't be good.

 

[Perknose]

It was only a matter of time until they unloaded their whiteness all over him.

Now the seven steps are complete....:sneaky:

It's both true that Steele is a bumbling retard and he also has a shorter leash than his white counterpart would because he's black.

Louis CK pretty much summed this up:

[Gonad the Barbarian]

You know we still have a ways to go when someone in the GOP isn't rewarded for his failure just because he's black.

 

[lothar]

How did they manage to pick him over kenneth Blackwell(the other black candidate) for the RNC top job?

 

[Fear No Evil]

Maybe one day the democrats will nominate a women for a powerful position.. lol.. yeah right..

Yeah it's almost like democrats selected nancy pelosi to be the first female house speaker or something.

Nancy Pelosi.

LOL.. seriously... There's been so much surgery there can we really be sure she is female?

I like how your first instinct when caught looking like a dumbass is to insult the speaker of the house to deflect attention away from your stupidity.
