The Steele Mistake
Big bucks Republican donors are finally realizing what we in Maryland learned eons ago: Michael Steele is out to improve the circumstance of exactly one person – Michael Steele.
The call came as discontent with Steele seems to be spreading among some major GOP donors, who have publicly questioned whether the party chairman is focusing more on his own image — delivering paid speeches and promoting his book, ‘Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda’ — than on rebuilding the party and helping its candidates. The Washington Times reported Thursday that some prominent party fundraisers are withholding donations from the RNC because of unhappiness with Steele.
Good luck, suckas!

He’s taking a cue from the Bush playbook. Do whatever it takes to enrich yourself and your cronies, and everyone else be damned.
…come to think of it, that’s the entire GOP playbook. I don’t see why they’re so angry.
Betcha if his skin tone was different, they wouldn’t be angry….
And I betcha no one is more suprised about the flack Steele is getting than Steele himself. Normally any type of anti-Obama dogma will get you a pass. But wait black dude, your name ain’t on the list so you ain’t gettin’ in this disco!……Bet he didn’t see that coming!
A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda
The first step is admitting you have a problem, yes?
there’s just no honor among thieves, is there?
They should get behind Steele and follow his lead. What other Rethugican has bothered to come up with a national plan besides NO on Everything?
Big bucks Republican donors are finally realizing what we in Maryland learned eons ago: Michael Steele is out to improve the circumstance of exactly one person – Michael Steele.
Couldn’t the same be said about “The Quittah from Wasilla”?
CJ, let’s not slander the meth capital of Alaska, just call her “Bible Spice”.
Mike will have to spend more time with his Bowflex
“Cut-and-run Sally” works better…turns one of the wingnuts’ favorite phrases against them. However, “The Bitch” is perfect.
Looks like the GOP’s latest lawn jockey is about to end up in the Dumpster. You just can’t get “uppity” with that crowd!
In less than two years the fool has gone from posing with puppies to eating dogshit. As Mr. Zimmerman from Hibbing sang on a 45-year-old 45, “How Does It Feel?!”
Conservatives have a big problem — not enough altruism. They only care about themselves. They have trouble getting along with others. I wonder if they can be healed?
[...] The Steele Mistake [...]
The Teabag (D-bag?) movement is in full gear, threatening to hijack that party – and you’re wondering if the GOP could be healed? Get real, man.
Heh, he’s light skinned … with no Negro dialect, so looks like he’s got the Harry Reid seal of approval for a black politician.
No hint of outrage here at the Oh Dub dot com. Shocking.
Dennis,
You won’t get any argument from me that Reid is a moron. The only thing worse would be a Republican, and not by much.
Two of your leaders are morons, Repack. The other leader isn’t a moron, but he isn’t a leader, either. Of course, this isn’t a party problem.
Neither is this:
Public Policy Polling: Toss Up in Massachusetts
Dennis:
Supposedly, Coakley has barely campaigned since winning the primary. That’s not good whether or not you think you have the contest in the bag.
Wow. Not one, but TWO shiny objects in the same thread by Dennis to try and change the subject. Could you at least post a LOLcat or something next time? If you want to try and get people to talk about something other than the topic at hand, at least make it kittens. Everybody likes kittens.
Or baby otters. Baby otters always make me smile.
Dennis won’t comment on Steele using his position to promote his book, because IOKIYAR.
Like St. George Dubya, Michael Steele was selected by The Lord Jesus Himself. And blessed, the way He always Blesses His Conservative Lambs. The Left is just jealous.
Jealous of what? That he writes Jon Stewart’s and Stephen Colbert’s material for them?
When do they get to making amends?
No Fool! That conservatives are blissfully oblivious to the points in Stewart and Colbert’s humor.
Correction: The Oh Double Standard dot com.
I think the left is jealous of his grasp of the principles of sarcasm.
LIGHT SKINNED!!!!!! TEEEE, HEEEE, HEEE LIGHT SKINNED……AHHHHHH, HAAAAA, HAAAA. Let’s get the paper bag out and school Dennis on yet another thing………LIGHT SKINNED, and NO NEGRO DIALECT!!!! (wasn’t his first suggestion to turn his B-ball cap backwards and bring the fried chicken.) Seems as though the Republicans need a “Stepin Fetchit” to represent THEM! Michael Steele is NO Barack Obama, THANK GOD!
Disapproval of Steele may be one of the reasons why the RNC isn’t getting the big bucks anymore, but I like to think it’s also because of all the right-wing money being hoovered up by grifters like Linda Chavez.
