Back right before the Republican National Closet-In at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Convention, I made an account on the convention website. I believe it was because someone here had pointed out that the site was FAIL, and I wanted to gloat to the guy managing the blog, who had been the chair of the GW College Republicans and had graduated the previous spring.
The site wouldn't even work enough for comments, and I forgot about it for months and months.
But today, I had the occasion to check my Spam box after whining about how few weird e-mails I get, and lo and behold, there is a message straight outta Compton Washington, DC where Michael Steele be layin' down the ... (unlike Michelle Bachmann, I'm not even going to pretend I know anything about urban-suburban hip-hop settings or even getting off the hook).
Anyway, Mike is ranting about the Specter of Arlenism communism facing the nation.
Mind you, several of his last few e-mails have been hilarious.
On ACORN working with the Census Bureau to try to avoid missing people in counts.
We must not let the Democrats and their radical leftist allies falsify the U.S. Census and manipulate elections in their favor. Our democracy, and the principle of "One Person, One Vote" are in jeopardy.
Please help the Republican Party's effort to spread the word about the Obama Democrats' misuse of power and plans to end free and fair elections. Support our effort to get the word out about this threat and ensure an accurate, non-partisan Census by making a contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the Republican National Committee today.
The thing is, if the Republicans had chosen Katon Dawson instead, the principle of "One Person, One Vote" would also be in jeopardy.
Though for the more "traditional Constitutional value" of one black being equal to 3/5 of a white person
I’ve always been involved in politics. And I guess it goes all the way back to my school career and education. I, in the 1960s was a product of school segregation, where we took our schools and completely disbanded them, and made racial equality. Fifty-Fifty. And the kids had no choices.
On his strong support for teabagging:
So on this Tax Day, April 15, the Republican National Committee is asking you, along with hundreds of thousands of grassroots activists across our country, to assert a real patriotic act by sending a virtual tea bag to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the tax, spend and borrow Democrats
Wow, it takes some real balls to do a virtual tea bag. Or virtual balls, anyway.
On his European tour
More importantly, it shows an absence of wisdom to criticize the United States while on foreign soil, and then join with the Pelosi-Reid Democrats in Congress to do everything possible to end American exceptionalism and create a weak, dependent socialist state patterned after the examples of Europe.
...
As a lawyer, Obama once sued the same financial institutions on behalf of radical groups like ACORN for failing to use leftist social engineering criteria for lending instead of an applicant's ability to repay a loan.
All fine, batshit e-mails.
But I feel he made a mistake in his e-mail today about Senator Specter's decision to rejoin the party he left in the early 60's to avoid a heavily ethnic-loyalty based Democratic primary in Philadelphia.
I hope Arlen Specter's party change outrages you. It should for two reasons:
First--Specter claimed it was philosophical--and pointed his finger of blame at Republicans all over America for his defection to the Democrats. He told us all to go jump in the lake today.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe a word he said.
Arlen Specter committed a purely political and self-serving act today. He simply believes he has a better chance of saving his political hide and his job as a Democrat. He loves the title of Senator more than he loves the party--and the principles--that elected him and nurtured him.
Second--and more importantly--Arlen Specter handed Barack Obama and his band of radical leftists nearly absolute power in the United States Senate. In leaving the Republican Party--and joining the Democrats--he absolutely undercut Republicans' efforts to slow down Obama's radical agenda through the threat of filibuster.
Facing defeat in Pennsylvania's 2010 Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record, and an end to his 30 year career in the U.S. Senate, he has peddled his services--and his vote--to the leftist Obama Democrats who aim to remake America with their leftist plan.
As recently as April 9th, Senator Specter said he would run in the Pennsylvania primary next year as a Republican. Why the sudden change of heart? Clearly, this was an act based on political expediency by a craven politician desperate to keep his Washington power base--not the act of a statesman.
His defection to the Democrat Party puts the Democrats in an almost unstoppable position to pass Obama's destructive agenda of income redistribution, health care nationalization, and a massive expansion of entitlements.
Arlen Specter has put his loyalty to his own political career above his duty to his state and nation.
You and I have a choice. Some will use Specter's defection as an excuse to fold the tent and give up. I believe that you are not one of those people. When Benedict Arnold defected to the British, George Washington didn't fold the tent and give up either.
He grit his teeth more determined than ever to succeed. That's what I'm asking you to do today.
Join me in this fight by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 right now to build our army of supporters and defeat Democrat candidates like Arlen Specter in next year's elections.
Stand with me. I need your support today.
Sincerely,
Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee
P.S. Rail, we need to respond to Senator Specter's decision to join President Obama's efforts to change America into a European Welfare State. Please help our Party move forward by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to give our Republican leaders & candidates the political muscle they need to resist the Obama-Pelosi-Specter agenda. Thank you.
Um, come on, Mr. Steele. His name's Arlen Specter. He's Jewish.
You're already going with those other left-wing socialist welfare state Jewish memes.
But you forgot to call him Judas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See, Mr. Steele, this is why your party wants to oust you.
