Good news! Steele "ain't goin' anywhere" ..

[DCBob]

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. – In his first public remarks since his widely condemned comments on Afghanistan, Republican Party chairman Michael Steele said Thursday he "ain't goin' anywhere" despite calls for his resignation. Steele's appearance before Colorado Republicans was his first since he came under fire last week from within the GOP for calling the nine-year-old conflict in Afghanistan a mistaken "war of Obama's choosing." The gaffe prompted criticism of Steele's leadership, and some calls to resign. "Every time something happens, people say, 'Oh, you should step down. You should step down.' The reality is, that's not happening, so stop the noise on that," Steele told about 100 volunteers and state GOP leaders. Steele added that stepping down from his post is a bad idea with November's general election just a few months away. "We have too much work to do," he said.

This should guarantee Democrats do not lose control of either the House or the Senate. Thanks Mikey!

2. LOL

[great white snark]

3. Thumbs up to the proponents of the "fall guy" scenario.

He's history after the elections.

6. Yep.. the only reason they are not forcing him out is that they dont want any negative shit...

just before an election. They may regret that decision. Mikey creates "negative shit" just by opening his mouth.

4. Gosh darn, Steeley's doing a heckuva job. I'm just devastated.

5. I highly recommend he not go anywhere near a Republican operative

without witnesses.

:patriot:

7. He may need bodyguards too...

I suspect many in the GOP are ready to strangle this guy.

[Orsino]

8. Therefore, he is.

That was easy.

9. Update: Issa says Steele "is not my leader” and “not the head of my party.”

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), speaking in a taping of C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers,” said the embattled Steele “is not my leader” and “not the head of my party.”

11. So Limbaugh said he could stay?

I mean after all, isn't OxyRush the de facto leader of the rethuglican potty?

15. Oh, damn! My eyes.

Geez. That needed a warning. I may never recover.

12. He'll be out by Friday.

16. The pricks don't plan to win this time!

All their fake polls aside, they know nobody trusts them. And they know they're going to lose again. If they stay their stinking, rotting course, they can blame the black guy when it all goes to shit--again. And Rush can blame the liberal media for keeping Steele there all along. Then they can get a "real American" like Sarah Palin or David Duke to return their shitty party to true conservative values.

17. Or they like what the Democrats are doing, and are playing the foil

to keep pressure off of the conservative Democrats.
