Michael Steele's problem is that he could never have been a state rep or state senator because he lives in a county that will never elected a Republican. so, he jumped on the first quota black job in the Maryland Republican Party that came along. He did not accomplish anything as head of the Prince Georges County Repulbicans, he did not accomplsih anything as head of the Maryland Republican Party, and he did not go anything as LT. Gov.

At least most of the idiot whites in the Bush Administration did accomplished something along the way. The same cannot be said of Steele. the best thing that the Republicans could do for him is hand him the form to change his registration to the Democratic Party. At least there, he could feel at home as a quota black that does not accomplish anything.

I agree that he didn't do anything as Lt Gov- but no one ever does anything as Lt Gov. But I disagree with you that he was unable to keep up with Democrats— if that is so it may be that there was no good argument— the GOP under Bush has performed abominably. When you compare him to many white politicians— including Bush (who should be running a Jiffy Lube) he is much more articulate. You just can't give any credit to a black person can you?

Every time I have seen Steele on television he has had the same deer in the headlights look. If he is ever on a show with a Democartic, he comes off as inarticulate, uninformed, and incapable of understanding the issues. AS both LT Gov and Senate candidate, he was incapable of articulating a single reason why people should vote for him.

A talk show was propose because he was black. He got to be Lt Gov because he was black. My guess is that in a couple of years he will pull a Colin Powell and switch to the Democratic Party for careerist reasons.

Number two Resolution— stop replying to Superdestroyer's moronic comments.

I worked for Ben Cardin's Senate campaign- and let me tell you Michael Steele is anything but inarticulate— Bush is inarticulate- Steele is so articulate that many in the GOP thought he would get his own talk show after he lost. In fact he was asked by CNN to be a conservative commentator. As for running a Jiffy Lube- the guy is a law school graduate. (I suppose you think Obama should be out shining shoes instead of taking the oath of office next month!)

Steele still did remarkably well and probably lost because it was revealed that he was recruited for the race by Karl Rove– who is hated here in Maryland.

Steele is smart and articulate– but ran for the Senate in a state that is 2/3 Democratic. He is a living example of the fact that there is very little opportunity for a black Republican- no matter how smart and articulate they are.

thankfully others like Tony will be appropriately disgusted.

Republicans probably prefer that we use their much ballyhoed principles to define them.. But their words and actions are much more telling, since they rarely are consistent with the revered principles, LOL.

Perhaps, as Tony says, “bad form” and “our propensity of saying stupid things at the most inopportune times…”

Thanks, Tony ,for being reasonable and pragmatic.

Our actions and our words are oftentimes used to define who we are as Republicans.

What else should we use to define Republicans?
