Michael Steele is to Barack Obama as Sarah Palin is to Hillary Clinton

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

The GOP shows its total cluelessness and tone deafness again.
Do they actually think they fool anyone?

If you can't beat em....

"We've been misdefined as a party that doesn't care, a party that's insensitive, a party that is unconcerned about minorities, a party that's unconcerned about the lives and expectations and dreams of average Americans, and nothing could be further from the truth.."

So says Michael Steele, the guy who loves puppies and the new Chairman of the RNC. Oh, and Michael, as you can tell by his pic, just happens to be an African American. Oh those repubs, they are so original. Seriously, if you are a die in the wool repub this has got to hurt. Steele, after all, pissed off conservatives when he founded a moderate organization, and from time to time has seemed almost embarrassed by his party affiliation. But look at the choices they had: The frat boy's hand picked man, Mike Duncan, Chip (the rapper)Salstman, Katon (I am a son of the confederacy) Dawson, and Kenneth (I am a proud house Negro)Blackwell. Wow, talk about scraping from the bottom of the barrel. These repubs are in some serious trouble.

...
Steel might be "charismatic", but he strikes me as one of those Negroes who will say whatever is necessary to fit in. I see the guy on FOX NEWS and he is killing Obama and calling him every kind of name in the book. Then I see him on one of those late night talk shows and he is saying what a great guy Obama is and how the repubs have a lot of work to do blah blah blah. Yeah, Michael is somewhat of a fraud, he should fit in well with the folks over at the RNC.

But he will be right at home with the repubs, and this is just what the Doctor ordered for them in the age of Obama. They were losing their minds while trying to come up with an answer for his O ness, and now they think they have it. Damn that Obama sure is popular. He is smart, articulate, and very telegenic. Where can we get a Negro like that? Hey, how about that Steele guy, he speaks really well....

1. I feel storry for Steele.

While he's no superstar, he shouldn't be compared with Palin; he's been working very hard for a long time in Maryland, and he's nothing like that poseur.

Neither do I think the reps selected him vis a vis President Obama; I don't think they wanted to do such.

2. NO! HE'S NOT! ASteele actually seems to be a rational, PUB, and

they are almost non existant! I only heard one of his soeeches and I think it was his acceptance speech. He was telling his party they have to lt go of the Reagan 80's. He's right! To compare him to Sarah is like trying to compare Obama to Jackson or Sharpton.

4. I had The Same Conclusion--Cheap Knock-Offs!

The GOP just doesn't get it--it's not the outside of a person, but the inside that sells.

The Democratic Party is slowly coming to understand....very slowly.
