More Republican gimmicks

RNC chair plans 'off the hook' campaign, tells critics to ‘stuff it’

“We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.”

Really? Who the hell wrote that line for him? What the flip is an "urban-surburban hip-hop setting"? He sounds like someones parents in Iowa having a conversation that includes statements like "there's those kids hiphopping on some slamjam Soldierman with the high five pop and lock".

He added, jokingly, that “we need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.”

Who does he think he is... the black Don Rickles?

Steele described the new multi-platform PR offensive as “avant-garde, technically. It will come to [the] table with things that will surprise everyone — off the hook.” Asked whether that meant cutting-edge tactics, Steele demurred. “I don't do 'cutting-edge,’” he said. “That's what Democrats are doing. We're going beyond cutting-edge.”

IS THIS GUY SERIOUS? He sounds like a clown. What exactly is beyond cutting-edge? Is beyond cutting edge where you wrap back around to where you keep pushing ideas that are outdated and unpopular in mainstream America?

The Republicans kill me...

First we had Palin come on to the scene in a ploy to pull Hillary Clinton supporters, and now we have Michael Steele who the Republicans are playing up as some conservative neo-Obama. Holy crap... who comes up with these ideas??????

Let me just let the Republicans in on a few things.
1. The overwhelming majority of people didn't vote for Hillary Clinton solely because she was a woman.
2. The overwhelming majority of people didn't vote for Barack Obama solely because he was black.

See what I am getting at here?

You can't just put someone at the forefront of the party who isn't a white male and pretend that your whole platform has somehow changed and you have refreshing ideas that might fix the country for once instead of destroying it. Maybe instead of trying to copy the Democrats solely by emulating the race and gender of their leaders, you might try getting rid of the racists and people with shitty, outdated ideas that seem to be so prevalent near the top of your party. Tax cuts aren't the end all to every problem in the world like you would love to have us all believe. Better luck next time in making your party relevant.
