Steele's thick head doesn't see that.
All he sees is a group that votes 95% for the Dems and we wants a piece of that, regardless of whether it prostitutes cosnervative principles.
He needs removal as chairman. NOW
Neither party has anything in common.
Bush was right to refuse to appear before the NAACP, as it was a complete setup.
The longer Steele remains as chairman....2010 and 2012 look very bleak.
The GOPs mass flirtation with political correctness has been a failure....dump Steele now
Why Doesn't Mr. Steele just ask McCain how well that brilliant concept and strategy worked out for McCain with his “Hispanic outreach” director and leader of La Raza, Mr. Hernandez?
It isn't president McCain, now is it, Mr. Steele?
Christ, the GOP could write a book on how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory these days...
“He needs removal as chairman. NOW “
I agree with your statement that Steele should go, but in this particular case, I think it was not a particularly bad move to throw bone to the NCAAP. It doesn’t cost the GOP anything and blunts the claim by leading blacks that the GOP never, ever reaches out to them.
Democrats don’t care about Blacks (Afro-Americans, African-Americans, Negroes, whatever in the hell they call themselves now).
Democrats are all ga-ga over Hispanics now.
They will throw the blacks under the bus to placate the Hispanics.
Are the blacks smart enough to see what’s coming to them?
There are, I am sure, people in that organization who are not Kool-Aid drinkers.
Breaking bread with those who are not of our persuasion is not endorsing them--this isn't Hussein sitting down with Holocaust deniers or Hamas.
I hope he let them know their dependence on Democrats is hurting them.
On a (barely) related tangent, has Steele made any statement regarding the Honduran situation?
We don't have to change anything about our issues, just ask those voters to consider them. If they decide against us, so be it, a lot of white voters do too, but it's silly not to bring our message to them.
First of all, Steele was most likely invited by the NAACP. It speaks well of them that they invited the RNC chair and he gave a fine speech. I do not care for pandering, but do not see this as such. This instead was an opportunity. I am beginning to like Steele, especially for the humor that he threw in.
This is all about how truly free black folks are, free to make intelligent political choices rather than have them made for them.
