Today’s GOP is all about marketing and FUD. They are the party of nothing. Everybody in that audience would have rather seen genuine inspirational success than a tool in some plutocratic marketing scheme.

Up until a year ago, I would never have given Michael Steele the time of day, but the fact that an African American of his stature would associate with the GOP drew my curiosity. So I opened my mind and my ears. While I may not agree with everything Steele has to say, I am glad that I had the foresight to at least listen. We can joke about the man, but we should not shut him out or down. And I for one am glad that he took those "baby steps". Steele is well worth listening to.
