The Gop: A 'Rush' to Obscurity

Summary


[Rush Limbaugh] said, "Yes, said [Michael Steele], the chairman of the Republican National Committee, I'm incendiary, and yes, it's ugly. Michael Steele, you are head of the RNC. You are not head of the Republican Party." Limbaugh went on to say, "Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the RNC and right now they want nothing to do , with it, and when you call them, asking them for money, they hang up on you."

This time the Republican strategy threatens to backfire. They were so concerned about finding a Black face to put up against President [Obama] that they didn't take qualifications or simple common sense into account, and it's becoming increasingly apparent that Mr. Steele has neither. In addition, based on an investigation into allegations that he tunneled campaign funds into his sister's non-existent company, character has also become an issue, While they can't say they weren't warned, actually, he fits right in with the rest of that Republican crowd.

What the Republican Party failed to realize was that the American people didn't elect President Obama because he's Black, they elected him because he's competent, and obviously a statesman of exceptional character, but they just didn't get it. They figured he was elected because Black was the flavor of the season, so they went out and "got them one"-without regard to character, intelligence, or common sense.

Those of us who pointed out that Michael Steele was elevated to Chairman of the Republican National Committee as both a token, and as attack-dog-in-chief against President Obama should feel completely vindicated. No further evidence need be presented than what recently took place when Mr. Steele had the audacity to say that h...
