Michael Steele wins RNC chairmanship race
Former Maryland Lt. Governor to be first African-American chair
WASHINGTON - Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele beat out South Carolina GOP chief Katon Dawson in the sixth round of voting at Fridays Republican National Committee meeting Friday, becoming the first African-American chairman of the party.
The two Republicans fought for the national party chairmanship Friday after Mike Duncan, former President George W. Bush's hand-picked national GOP chief, abandoned his re-election bid in the fact of dwindling support.
Duncan's departure ensured a fresh face at the beleaguered GOP's helm as Republicans seek to rebound from back-to-back defeats in national elections that gave Democrats control of Congress and the White House.

7. WE HAVE OBAMA THEY HAVE STEELE
I think that says everything
I dunno; I suspect the primitives have less than what they think they do, and we have more than what we think we have.

8. Just more pandering...
The rank and file will love it. It proves they are not racist. They love it when a minority is in a leadership role. It shows everyone how "inclusive" they are. Just as long as the minority knows his or her place and stays there. Remember, they are the party of equality. Just as long as everyone stays in their place.

What a loser. I don't think he did a blasted thing when he was our Lt. Governor. I guess the rethugs are getting the leader they deserve.

15. Day traders should buy shares of Oreo Cookies. There's gonna be run on them!
It figure the republicans would elect the black guy blacks don't like. They're doomed. The bank was ready to foreclose on his house as he was running for Lt. Governor. The campaign paid him enough to save his house. But I hope he has fun telling his Former Boss Bob Ehrlich (R) where he may and may not speak. Turn about is fair play.

19. Trying to keep up with the Democrats?
Republicans had a woman on the presidential ticket. The only AA in the GOP is now the head of the RNC. Their going for the women's and minorities' vote. LOL! Lot's of luck with that.

21. Wonder what they're saying about this over at Stormfront.
Making assassination plans already?
Why am I read fear and trepidation, and even jealousy, in the beady-eyed little primitives about this news? Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the same thing?
-
Coach, I see it too. You don't attack someone that you don't consider to be a threat. The ferocity of their attacks will sharply increase, which means that they fear him as much--maybe more--than they fear Sarah Palin.
-
By the way, I have to add that what the ukelele primitive said about his black friend is a stretchy.
The ukelele primitive's lied before.
What the ukelele primitive said his black friend said is what the ukelele primitive thinks his black friend would say, if there.

There was no black friend. The DUmmy just wanted to call Steele an Uncle Tom and not look like the petty racist prick he is.

33. Racism is still racism
Even when it's directed at someone "we" don't like.
"Oreo" is a slur, cut it the **** out please.
But "Uncle Tom" is okay? :whatever:

23. I checked over in RW world.
It is a mixed bag of happy and bewilderment. For some reason some of them think he isn't conservative enough because he is black. Some others are happy because "Steele earned this unlike Obama".
Well I am off to the shower to decontaminate.

26. Good Lord. Could the GOP pander any more?
First Palin because they thought just having a woman on the ticket would equate having Hillary on the ticket.
Now an African American because the Obama is in the White House.
The whole thing is just so transparent.
The good that will probably come from this is that this will probably drive a lot of old school GOP members from the party. I can't wait to see how Limbaugh & Co. spin this.

Yes, one side certainly does have the better end of that deal. :lmao:

Amazing how they're able to come up with all these racial epithets and stereotypes they claim conservatives/Republicans have towards minorities. It's almost like they're the one's who use those terms all the time.
.
-
They are disgusting human beings.
The essence of the facist,racist person they so easily accuse everyone else of being.
Their way of deflecting attention away but when they think no one is looking this is what you get.
-
While the Republican party is a collection of people that have similar views on most subjects and what's best for America.
The democrat party is a collection of misfits that have views on only one subject, their personal agenda, and their own self-interest.

Aren't they? But who'd know in the general public, given the see-no-evil, hear-no-evil and report-no-evil philosophy of the advocacy/adversary media.
These Dems, libs and lefties can't contain their true selves: fascist, racist, misogynist, fearful, freedom-hating, American-hating lightweights.
-
I don't know why they consider Steele a counterweight to Barack. Barack is only the first white guy born in Hawaii to become president. Surf's up, dude!
-
They are the ones who see color. We see Steele as a man, they see Steele and Obama for that matter, as a black man.
-
I checked. It seems both of Michael Steel's parents are black. No Halfrican-Americans at the RNC.
He once was Mike Tyson's brother-in-Law.

Split! Split! Split! Split! Split! Split! Split! Split!
Meanwhile, back at the island they need a gay party, a wimmin's party, an animal rights party, a global warming party, a black power party, a "I'm not gay, I'm just a metrosexual" party, a limousine liberal party, a MIHOP, LIHOP party, a "peace" party, a "my wife uses a strap-on and I like it" party, an anti religion party, an "I need psych meds" party, a recreational drug use party, an "I used to be a clan member, but like them better in the projects and away from my plantation" party, a socialist party, an anti-war party, a sex workers' rights party, a communist party, an "America is the scourge of the planet" party, a Wiccan party, the all important abortion party, etc., etc., etc.
Even when you guys win an election you're still petrified. That's what happens when you run on false pretenses. Your candidate ran like he was the second coming of Ronald Reagan. People bought the hype. Problem is, he can't deliver. Pretty rhetoric won't keep him from becoming the half black second coming of Jimmah. Thing is, he's starting to realize it too and it's delicious. He was hoping he could push through his socialist agenda before everyone found out. It ain't gonna happen. Suck it Dummies!

Any Republicans not happy with this new appointment will no doubt find a warm welcome in the party of Robert Byrd and William J. Fullbright.

This stupid asshole can't see his own forest for the trees. The last two Dem nominating fields was one huge pander-bear party... the last one was even worse than 2004. You had every concieveable ethnic or sexual base covered. No matter WHO got the nomination on their side, they went out of their way to make sure it wasn't going to be another white Christian heterosexual male (yeah, I'm lookin' at you, Breck Girl). And it was so damned obvious, I'm surprised any rational person was able to take those fools seriously.

The Party needed a clean brake with the "Why can't we be friends" Republicans who flushed the WH and the Congess into the Dem. sewer. Who was the only candedate who was not a half Dem, has exec. exp., doesn't need a teleprompter to speek, is , in fact,quite bright, and is relatively "young"? LESSEE, there Michael Steele, and.......?
Race had nothing to do with hias selection, EXCEPT to give us all a chance to trot out the intollerant reaction of the phony liberals. :innocent:
