I mean, really. If members of the RNC isn’t trying to to spite Obama, they are trying to find tokens like him to fill the slot. Historically, the RNC/the party have never been pro-minority and/or poor and now they want to use lil ol’ Mikey to fill their quota.If I were in Mike’s shoes, I would have rejected the position because they really don’t want him as their chairman, it’s just a ploy. Geez! don’t he get get it?
Hard to believe how ignorant some people are about recent history and their own party.
The Republican party that MLK belonged to championed civil rights against a strong southern Democratic system for years.
The Democratic party was the party of the Klan. It has/had been that way since the Civil War as a backlash against that Republican Lincoln.
JFK and eventually LBJ were mavericks within their own parties and had the support of the majority of the Republicans and a minority of the Dems in Congress.
Please investigate before demonstrating your lack of knowledge concerning these issues.
Mike Steele has been very active and outspoken as a Republican and will make a great chair.
Funny that if a Dem nom/elects a Black it’s fwd thinking but if a Rep does it’s an automatic token.
He gets it you don’t.
he’s no token rather just like clarence thomas another beneficary of republican affrimative action, he’s going to do a great job as a mouthpiece for classist rep ideas and to be the attack dog on Obama, because Limbaugh has already proven his patriotism is a sham that masks his racist views
I already know how the old Republicans were. My, how times change as the “new” ones seem to defy what they did.
Far as Dr. King. He started off as a Republican, but his late wife, Coretta and supported Democratic candidates in recent times.( As a matter of fact his son Martin III was supporting Obama, not McCain at the time). Several years ago his wife was offended my similar statements about his Republican background. They( the family) felt that some of those Republicans were trying to use his name in an effort to abolish Affirmative Action, the same policy that Dr. King and his friends created. Now do you really believe Dr. King would gave stayed Republican knowing this? I think not.
Far as history, I’ve known about the history of Demos/Republicans of the 1800’s since I was in the third grade. That was then, this is now. You’re right, many Democrats did became Republican. In the South many Demos did become Republican—to keep from voting for the Civil Rights Bill.
Far as Mike ,I still think that he’s being played. Why now? Until the party becomes more tolerant of others and get what true Christian values are, I will never find them to be credible.
MLK started off as a Rep and was one at his death, his killer was a southern Democrat.
The recent Rep history I speak of was the 60’s….Republicans pushed Johnson to enact/sign the Civil Rights bills of the time, not Dems. You are absolutely incorrect on this issue. George Wallace ran 3 times as a Democrat for President.
What does Limbaugh have to do with Steele?
Steele is an articulate individual that believes in strong personal responsibility rather than a nanny state.
What, exactly, are the true Christian values you speak of Peaches……
Great political move. It’s difficult for Republicans to criticize Obama, even legitimately, due to his race. By choosing a black chairman, they’ll have more leeway to do so using Steele as a proxy.
The Republicans do need a little more diversity, and hopefully Michael Steele can provide some motivation for others to be involved.
The ethos of responsibility, both fiscal and social, is something more than a few of us aspire to. I know that the Republican party has come off as a bunch of rednecks in recent years, but I’m hoping that the situation improves.
Steele is a two-faced fool too stupid to know he is being used by the Repubs. Where is Andrea his wife? Why are ther no pics of Steeles wife and family. My friends and I cant find them anyware. Strange huh….All inquiries to Andrea Steele is redirected to Michael Steele. Please someone if you have seen his wife and children please send me the pics. The websites have been sanitized for some strange reason.
Ha! we finally see the elusive wife of Michael Steele. To the RNC he is nothing more than a runaway slave hiding his white wife from the public. Doing just like a good “boy” for Missah Chalay..,,Once they have used the ignorant fool, he will be SOLD to the lowest bidder. He will never be a trusted confidante to those redneck s and If he thinks his white wife would save his dumb ass from the lynching the RNC will do to him, he will be sadly mistaken. ..Michael Steel is a loser and we will all see it soon..,,,,,He will never be near as brilliant nor a real man as President Obama.
Fact: Todays GOP lacks support from the Black community - all communities of color.
News Flash - “Yesterdays” Republican Party doesn’t exist so please stop pimping MLK’s legacy to legitimize a party that got us in 2 wars and into a financial sh*t hole that a Democratic President has to bring us out of!
There is a reason why the Democratic Party has a greater number of People of Color. The values of the Demos are in alignment with POC.
There is a reason why the Republican Party is having a difficult time attracting People of Color. African-American, Latino-American, Asian-Americans have strong values – so we cannot say it’s about that.
Today’s Republican Party has an image they want to maintain and that image looks like most of the people we saw in large number (98%) at the RNC: WHITE. The Whiter the better. It’s a party of people who say “If you don’t look like us, if you don’t talk like us, if you don’t live in our communities, if you don’t believe in our values…than you’re a terrorist, you’re a communist, you’re an Un-American.
THIS is the problem with the Republican Party. They have a pot and you cannot mix it or diversify it because then you’re not conservative enough, white enough, Christian enough or pro-American enough.
[...] fill — by a party for which a perception of exclusion has cost them dearly. Conservatives and progressives alike find such selection distasteful if, in fact, Steele’s race was a deciding [...]
I, too, thought it strange that I could not access a photo of Michael Steele’s wife. I saw his website, the RNC’s website, the article about “the Oreo Cookie incident” (that was a hoot and so appropo!!), everything EXCEPT a photo his his wife. I was on a search like you…and, now, thanks to you I see her-at the very end…if you blinked you’d have missed her…on purpose I think!!! She was of course a member of the general population. Nothing else would’ve done…MS is not only an Oreo, he’s a Lorna Doone Oreo. He simply has a darker tan. He’s Michael Jackson in reverse.
Steele needs to speak out more for Republicans. In 1854 White made up the Rep Party to stop slavery from Democrats. Republicans stopped slavery and 500,000 whites died freeing slaves. Republicans were anti-slavery and the Dems who were Whigs, wanted to keep slavery. when they wanted to gain power, they started giving blacks free this and that and blacks voted enmass for Dems. Welfare was the best. Blacks went wild and remained on the plantation. Still the Rep voted to free blacks, yet now blacks have turned on the ones who freed them.
The whites who sold blacks to European whites were the whites from AraBIA called Arabs and they sent the Sharia Laws which said the blacks were created black to be slaves to white-Arabs and Turks(europeans) Tabari 11:11. The Sharia Law said slaves were property to be used anyway the master wanted to, even as a baby quran 65:4. Iran says 2 months muslims can sex a baby,wow. The Little green book, read it. Muhammad called black women stupid and bad omens and black men less than a donkey’s penis.
Black dogs and pictures are bad for Muslims. Arabs will not allow Arab Muslims to marry black muslims in pali either. Pali killed a girl who married a black muslims in gaza last year. RACISM and blazck slaves are coming to America and telling about the killing of 2-3 million Africans and slavery of them by Arabs and black American Muslims say and do nothing, Just the whites Xtian folks. Whites are now doing the Underground Railroad again in AMERICA. Muslim girls want to leave Islam and not be killed in hionor killing-the girl in Florida. Black slaves are in America right now and some have escaped and sued the muslim masters.

He only got it cuz he’s Black in order to compete with Obama.
What is Michael Steele? A SUCKER!

When Johnson signed the civil rights bill in 1964, he said “I’ve handed the south to the republican party for the next 1oo years.
And he was right. the slavers - mostly those southern Baptists / so called christian evangelicals there instantly switch to the republicans.
And with Obama’s election their worst nightmare has come true - the election of a black president.
BTW the FBI says it has seen more threats against Obama personally then any other president in a long long time.
Republicans - as the Psalm said - everything they say is a lie, their mouths are like open graves.
And yes there are conservative blacks. About 8% of blacks, for various reasons voted repub. Steeles selection obviously had this as an benefit.
I’d truly urge you to definitely write a lot more often.
