In a sign that the world may be coming to an end, the head of the Republican party says he wants a mic check. Word? Word.
Michael Steele, the head of Republican National Committee, wants his party to become the Grand Ol' Hip-Hop Party. Respect.
The new head of the party, and the first African-American to ever fill his chair, wants to spin an "off the hook" public relations blitz into "urban-suburban hip-hop settings" in hopes of getting young Latinos, African-Americans and others down with the good beats to rep the elephant and to rep him hard, son.
"We need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets," he said during a recent media blitz where he announced the idea with a joke. He was serious about the idea. He was joking about the one-armed midget part.
Steele told the Washington Times that the party needs a complete makeover the appeals to young voters. A key demographic that they lost out on during the last election,.
"We missed the mark in the past, which is why we are in the crapper now," he said. "We need messengers to really capture that region - young, Hispanic, black, a cross-section. We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-suburban hip-hop settings."

I dunno. Had Rush been wearing a neck full of gold bling and sporting a grill in combination with his black attire, tossed in a few “yo” and “beeches” he’d have looked and sounded hip for the urban crowd during his CPAC speech.
I just don’t get it. How can they not see that the reason that they are in “the crapper” now is because they failed to deliver on conservative issues? The whole problem with the Republican Party is that they did remake their “image”. They became the party of big spending and big government..perfectly willing to sell out the American people.
I tried to have high hopes for Steele..but your right. He’s making a fool of himself, and of Republicans.
“Replacement party.......think how we got Bill Clinton.”
Republican party.......think how we got Barak Obama.
Steele’s right.
Let him do his job.

Hip-Hop crowd brain dead people wanting the government to fund them for life self pity sucks.
Bush's daddy ran me out of the big tent with his 'no new taxes' lie, and I've been Independent ever since. I've never been able to tolerate liars.
IMHO, third party is the way to go. Don't listen to the 'We have to change the Republican party' spiel either. They act like they have 'nads when they're not in power, yet do nothing when they GET there. I've watched their game for decades.
Reagan was the only exception, but finding another Reagan and having them survive the RNC process to even get them in an election would be like trying to herd cats.
No doubt. The new 3rd paty will stop the media and the 2 partys from good cop bad cop scamming of the gullible public. I will never ever vote for another donk or republicrat.
“He is not going to kill America on their dime.”
Ditto.
I’ve cut back to no more than 8 hours a day. I’ve been working 12.
As well, we are moving out of California. The Democrat vampires in Sacramento have bled me enough for a lifetime.
Maybe they can find an illegal to work for them and fund their agenda.
I’m with you on that SWAMPSNIPER, (only out on the plains and back in the breaks). The pic trumandogz posted in no. 12 looks like Hell with the fires put out to me.
I couldn’t live like that.
Me, neither. I’d find a small atreet and just start walking, whatever it took to get out of there.
