GOP's Steele Really Might Have a Plan (or He's Nuts)

Michael Steele doesn't know in which direction to go. With the repubs you can tell the truth and become unpopular or toe the party line and stay in the good grace of the ultra right wing . He has a problem. Does he drag the party kicking and screaming into becoming more inclusive,guaranteeing his unpopularity, or forget progress and hope to gain favor with the Rush/Hannity wing of the party. Reply

Republicans are their own worse enemy Reply

In another time, in a galaxy far, far away, I grew up admiring people like Jacob Javits, Everett Dirksen, Jerry Ford, Ed Brooks, Charles Percy, Nelson Rockefeller, and even to a point, Richard Nixon, all good republicans, all good Americans. At one time, the idealogical difference between the two parties was simply an argument over what role the government played in the commerce and economy of a country. Since raygun however, the party has devolved into the flat earth society, a party of ignorant white people who have based the party's platform on their warped, perverted notion of "christianity," and closed their minds to any ideas outside this narrow world view. Michael Steele is just a token, elected in the repub's feeble-minded attempt to counter Barrack Obama, and appear "inclusive." Their biggest problem is they think 2006 and 08 were anomalies, that if they can just find another good wedge issue, they can reclaim power. That is always the problem with ignorant white people, they are so cocooned in their make believe world, they can't see the seismic shifts taking place around them. There remains a hardcore 30% who cling to their ignorance and flat earth beliefs, and that is what and will for a long time, constitute the republican party. They will never be a majority again. Reply
