Trial balloon: Michael Steele as RNC head

That went well.

Keep on going.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

I know its fun to see my party destroy itself. I know I pop the popcorn and watch the fratricide happen.  

No one on the TV will say it out right. They know they need to reach out to the African-American populations, but that is hard to do when the base of the republican party is the KKK and Homophobic Christians.  All you have to do is look back at the crowds that McSame and Bible Spice drew in.

The republican party has no leader.  Rush Limbaugh when asked by Greta Vansusten who is the leader, Rush even said there isn't one.  Many think Bible Spice is going to be their savior, I say go for it.  She has become known to the voters and would have to reinvent herself.  This day and age of the internets and instant communication isn't going to let that happen.  

Depending on how well President Obama does in his first two years will say a lot.  But President Obama also has the message he can and will use(IMHO) Bush's mess is more to clean up than we knew. It took 8 years to make the mess, 2 years isn't enough to clean it up.  Now Americans want instant gradification, and if progress is being made, Obama will have coat tails in the mid term 2010 elections.

Bush is setting the republican party up for failure already. GM is falling apart and it is still Bush's watch, even though he is a lame duck. The Democrats are calling for action NOW. Americans are calling for action NOW.  The lame duck republicans want to sit on their asses to hand President Obama a bigger mess.

2009, the US has no authority to stay in Iraq.  Gitmo is being handed to President Obama to clean up.  Bush has been busy signing executive orders President Obama will have to straighten out. And who knows what else Bush will screw up in the next 69 days.

With all that, tell me an African-American with the same tired message of the GOP is going to sway voters over to the GOP.  

One other thing that will change the landscape is our effort to overturn prop 8. If it is ruled to be unconstitutional for the reason a majority can not vote on a minority's rights, The republican base will go apeshit, but the ruling based on the constitution is easily explainable.  But I am sure you know about Loving vs Virginia where a few activist judges changed the law of the land.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

With a bit of luck, they could split into two parties (or some could join the libertarians) and keep the Democrats in power for a good long while.

But there is a good sign. He does NOT have a good reputation with the African-American community due to several controversies. Picking him could backfire.

Steele told religious leaders gathered in Lanham earlier this month that marriage is a covenant exclusively for one man, one woman and God.

If G-d has anything to do with it, neither the states nor federal government should be providing licenses let alone any rights/benefits based on marital status.

While Steele was in favor of destroying the libraries, he displayed an apalling lack of leadership in allowing his supporters to beat elderly people.  

He has never apologized for the incident, nor did he acknowledge the concerns of community activists.
