As GOP grumbles, race shields Steele By: Jonathan Martin January 9, 2010 07:28 PM EST
Among top GOP operatives in Washington, there is overwhelming majority sentiment that the Republican National Committee blundered a year ago when it tapped Michael Steele as its chairman.
There is equally strong sentiment among members of the RNC about what Republicans can do it about it now: Nothing.
Steele’s status as a high-profile African-American at a time when Republicans are facing serious headwind because of their weakness among non-white voters was a big part of his appeal a year ago. And it is a part of the reason many GOP strategists lament that he is untouchable even though they think the party would be better off to make a change from someone they regard as an unfocused and gaffe-prone leader.
“I don’t think there is any chance he’s going to be dumped before the next election for the obvious reason,” said one of the party’s most influential strategists and a key player on presidential campaigns.
Asked why that would be, the Republican, who is not on the party committee, shot back: “You’re not going to dump the first African-American chairman. That’s the only reason. Otherwise, he’d be gone.” .......................>>>>............................>>>>................http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31309.html
Are they implying that Steele is to the rep party what obama is to the lib party?......a token position? If it is, that is pretty sad for this country. Is that what this great country has come down to?

I think that is and has been pretty clear right along. Early on when you heard Steel about Obama he was quite, quite complimentary about him. So much so, that Chris Mathews had to ask a follow up question that went like "then you think Mr. Obama is doing a fine job." It was something of that nature. I was speechless.

Well, IMHO, he is. He certainly isn't a leader that's doing good for the GOP.
We, as americans have clearly lost our way. We have become to complacent with our government. WAKE UP SHEOPLE AND PAY ATTENTION!

this is where neither party is any different from the other......the 'melding' is almost completely socialist now.....the new technology will be able to enforce this and the generation of now and next will never know different if it's not taken from behind the curtain.......
