re: Michael Steele and the RNC Post (isn't it coincidental)
Edited on Mon Nov-13-06 09:02 PM by journalist3072
During the general , the campaign of Michael Steele ran some of the worst race-baiting radio ads that I have heard in a long time. I heard these ads daily on my local radio stations.

In making the case for voting for Steele as opposed to Democrat Ben Cardin, they accused the Democratic Party of betraying Kweisi Mfume.

If you hadn't known any better, you would have thought that Michael Steele thought Mfume walked on water. The add went on and on about how Mfume devoted his entire life to the Democratic Party and civil rights.

Then, the ad went on to basically say that the Dems just through Mfume overboard. Everytime I would hear the add, I would cringe. Hello? Democrats in Maryland had a PRIMARY. No one betrayed anyone.

Anyway, I just find it coincidental that the Republicans bypassed Michael Steele for the RNC Chairman post.

You think Steele is looking up the definition of karma right about now?

1. Karma is a bitch isn't ? They never had any intention of putting
him in the post....there is no way they would place an African American in that role....Steele just realized his place in the Republian party...

2. I think the article in the Washington Post today
About the dirty tricks Steele and Ehrlich pulled at the end of the campaign had a lot to do with Steele not receiving the position.

4. Michael Steele is one of the lowest, oiliest slimeballs around
His posters were all blue and said "Steele - Democrat" - when challenged on it he said that he meant it was like being a "Reagan Democrat", but instead he was a "Steele Democrat" - another attempt to confuse and hoodwink voters.

He'll do anything and say anything. It wouldn't surprise me if K-Fed was his love-child.
