Cheers for Michael Steele

The slap in the face was un-mistakable when a prominent member of the Republican party urged his colleagues to dump Michael Steele as their party chairman. He said “…anyone but Michael Steele!”

Mr. Steele was party chairman of the National Republican Committee and, in my opinion, valiantly served from January 2009 to January 2011. I was very proud of him. However, the press was relentless in recording (hounding) his every move 24/7 American style.

Now that Mr. Steele has lost his chairmanship, I would be hard pressed naming his successor without a Google search. From all appearances, that position has gone by the way of high button shoes and spats. There is nothing I have seen or heard regarding what the new chairman has said or done which speaks volumes regarding the press. Suddenly, the position is irrelevant, not important, no longer of concern.

The good news is Mr. Steele has landed on his feet. He continues to articulate clear and meaningful political positions in his new position as an analyst on television channel MSNBC. I am still very proud of him. I saw him on The Rachel Maddow Show last evening.

If things were different, that same Republican “patriot” who wanted Mr. Steele booted out of his chairmanship would be the very one stroking him for a run for President in 2012. He knows Mr. Steele would be a formidable contender compared to Michele Bachman and Rick Perry but our dear patriot has issues.

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. During his tenure, Mr. Steele was stripped of his capacity to spend money from certain funds on Republican candidates and I wonder if that sweet deal has been re-instated? (crickets)
