		<description>The dark days of Michael Dukakis had the Democrats controlling both houses in Congress. 

The last time the Democrats were in as big of a minority as the Republicans are now was back during the days of Herbert Hoover. (Although given how spineless the Demcrats acted over most of Bush, Jr.&#039;s reign, they were effectively this bad.) 

And wow. In both cases there were massive, massive, FUCKING MASSIVE economic slumps brought on by Conservative ideology.</description>

		<description>Watching the Republican party disintegrate is a beautiful thing for most Americans, no doubt.  But the icing on the cake is this -- we&#039;ve got all these Republican disasters where either outcome is a net gain for reality-based Democrats.

Keep Steele?  Fine!  You&#039;ve got an incompetent, spineless, &quot;hip-hop&quot; guy as head of the RNC.  Fire him?  You prove the point that Grand Comrade Limbaugh is the de facto leader of the party, a racist, drug-addicted, possible pedophile.  And Grand Comrade Limbaugh shall brook no dissent or criticism, ever.  Nobody outside of older white males will vote Republican ever again.

I mean c&#039;mon, even during the dark days of Michael Dukakis the Dems were never this deep in shit.  They were bad, but they weren&#039;t actively trying to destroy themselves, even if they were incompetent on a number of issues.

And they certainly weren&#039;t this entertaining.</description>

		<description>On the one hand, Michael Steele is quite useless as the leader of the RNC, and therefore I support him.

On the other hand, firing him so soon after he was hired would send a terrible message to the GOP faithful, and therefore I support firing him. 

Firing him and replacing him with the runner up, the guy who belonged to a whites only country club, would be AWESOME. That would solidify the GOP as the party of Racism for a long, long time.</description>
