You gotta love Dick Cheney!!

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s rebuttal speech on national security at the American Enterprise Institute in one word-stupefying!!!

This man is defiant!

He refuses to accept the world has changed and that his world view is no longer acceptable or rational.

And he refuses to lay down his arms and he still has the energy to fight the old battles against the New York Times, the peace loving liberals and those sissy Europeans man..he just wouldn’t let go will he?

Unfortunately, I must say that Dick Cheney is the real leader of the GOP!  

Is this what Michael Steele meant when he said the GOP had ‘turned the corner’ and that they were done‘ looking in the rearview mirror’?

I don’t think they can do that with Dick Cheney clinging to their bumper..

Is the GOP looking for President Reagan to save them?

 

According to Michael Steele, GOP Chairman, Republicans are done ‘looking in the rearview mirror’.

But in his speech yesterday all he did was look back.

From his comments about Reagan to the fact that he failed to offer no new policy positions on any current issue all Steele did was remind millions of Americans why they aren’t Republican anymore.

Steele tried his very best to convince us that there is a new GOP we just haven’t seen it yet, ” Our comeback is well underway out in the states, I can assure you of that..the folks inside the beltway don’t know it yet but those of you who toil in the vineyards, spending time in communities, in diners, barber shops, and coffee shops where real every day people can be found…you know it is real.”

Steele obviously sees things that we don’t.

It has become quite obvious that the only reason Michael Steele got the RNC Chair is because he’s a black guy. And unfortunately, many GOP leaders wrongly believe the only way to effectively criticize President Obama is to have another black guy do it. That’s the only conclusion I can come too because Michael Steele has nothing else going for him.

He can barely rally the GOP base. He doesn’t have the support of the GOP leadership (what leadership there is) and he’s an ineffective leader and communicator and his money raising skills are mediocre at best.

So why is he still there?

Could this be the reason why millions are abandoning the GOP?

The GOP seems to be perpetually stuck in the past on everything and instead of moving forward Republican leaders are constantly looking over their shoulders as if they are hoping President Regan will ride in on his white horse and save them from themselves and those bad Democrats!

The GOP must STOP LIVING in the past and STOP DIRECTING their message to those who want to return TO THE PAST because if they aren’t careful they will become a PARTY OF THE PAST!

But who am I to offer any advice? I’m just a no good liberal right? LOL

GOP chairman, Michael Steele, got punked!

  

 First Michael Steele, GOP Chairman, thought he was a bad a#@ by calling Rush Limbaugh ’ugly’ and an entertainer.

Then Limbaugh called him out  and instead of holding firm as a good leader should or is expected to do particularly when he’s right he ran to Limbaugh with his tail between his legs and apologized and apologized. He apologized to the entertainer for calling him an entertainer! And then he boosted Limbaugh’s ego even further by calling him a leader! And Steele did all this publicly.

Talk about punked!!! 

You know this entire Rush/Steele debacle played out similar to one of my classic high school memories. I’m sure we’ve all seen or experienced this scenario at some point in our lives.  

One kid calls another kid a name when he’s with his friends, the other kid finds out and confronts him on it telling him  ” Say that to my face? “.  The other kid responds by saying , ” You know I didn’t mean that? I was just playing around, you know I got you..” and the other kid says, ” That’s what I thought.”

This would all be pretty funny if this wasn’t a major political party in the most powerful country on earth.

And it only gets worst for Steele prominent GOP members aren’t offering him any support either. So how can Steele be an effective leader if he can’t garner the support of his own members?

It seems the GOP wants him to lead from behind and are willing to put him out front to get votes and raise money but are unwilling to support him when it matters most. And Steele seems to be quite comfortable with this role because  it’s quite clear that many within the GOP ranks don’t respect his leadership and he has not real interest in shaking up the GOP because if he did he wouldn’t have apologized to Limbaugh. 

Is this what the GOP has been reduced too?  A collection of factions with a talk show host as their de facto leader?

My oh my how the mighty have fallen!

Michael Steele, new RNC chairman…

 

Michael Steele just won one of the toughest jobs in America right now-Chairman of the RNC.

He is going to be in charge of rebuilding the GOP. He gave an Obama-esque speech. I guess every politician is trying to channel Obama but some just shouldn’t try..

Anyway, congratulations to him and to the GOP.  They’ve definitely got some work to do.

 

And the new Chairman of the Republican National Committee is..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michael Steele, former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland or  Katon Dawson  Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. Since they are the two remaining candidates in the race for Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Sorry, to tease you like that..lol.

Anyway, I think Michael Steele has this thing..but we’ll have to wait and see. They’ve adjourned for 15 minutes so we’ll probably know in the next hour.

Can you imagine the two leading faces of the major political parties in America could  be black?

Sweet! 

Times are definitely changing.
