The New GOP?

BY TAYLOR MARSH


Hardly.

Former Maryland LG Michael Steele is already opining about what his reign at the RNC would look like. It’s not pretty. Via Townhall:



Steele also warned that Republicans shouldn’t “soft-pedal” our attacks on Barack Obama, “just because the President of the United States happens to be a Black man.” This, of course, presents the argument that Steele — an African-American — could be a more effective critic of Obama than could his white Republican colleagues.

Regarding a follow-up question I asked him, Steele responded that “the Obama campaign played the race card beautifully.” He said it hurt Bill Clinton and that it also hurt John McCain because he wouldn’t mention Reverend Wright. Steele argued that in taking Rev. Wright off the table, McCain surrendered the one issue that might have helped him win.

McCain lost because he didn’t beat the Rev. Wright card to death? Wow, let’s hope Steele gets the nod, because he’s more clueless than the last crew.

Steele obviously thinks because he’s black he’s the one who can most effectively attack Barack Obama. He must have learned that from El Rushbo, who has the “official Obama criticizer” on his show, who is black. They still don’t get it. After an electoral whupping, they are as lost as before it happened.
