Michael Steele: Money for Sister a ‘Legitimate Transaction’

george, you would NEVER hammer a dem like that….don’t start losing your viewers by being too far left like the post!!!!!!!! Steele is respectable, treat him that way!!!!

Steele said construction jobs were endpoints. So were many business jobs endpoints. The “smart” ones took the money and ran and left the businesses and the people in the dust. What we need are honest people who think of others. I would rather have a hard- working honest person than a “what can I get out of this since I’m so smart.”

Michael Steele AND the republicans are PINN HEADS expounding the same old ideas that got the country into this mess. Pele grants are a needed STIMULOUS that keeps our institutions of higher learning from going away and allow young people to better themselves!
But as we saw all through the last administrations time of terror, the “so called” conservatives want to dumb down the population and end educated thought and enlightened leadership. The reasons for this are clear, by keeping education in the hands of a few who wield power the public is easier to scare and control. We’ve seen it time and time again in human history, and the Republican leaders(?) want to take us down that road again! Nome Chomsky said it”The end of democracy will come draped the flag and carrying a bible”

this guy steele is a joke. i don’t want to sound racist cause i’m not, however he’s riding on obama’s wave. good god, the republicans are really clutching at straws to make a comeback…..hey repub’s it’s not working……

LMAO the idiots at ABC including The George ” I have a confict of interest” Steppypuppylous, are trying to lay something on someone other than the corrupt, criminal democrats..Nice try georgie.. just stick with being a DUH-Bama talking head

Another Republican crook. Mr. Steele, as his predecessors, had nothing to offer when Bush was president. Now all of suden the Republican Congress has something to say when the Democrats finally come up with a stimules plan. Bush and his regime, allowed these banks, auto companies, etc. to run out of control and the country is paying for it now. Pres. Obama inherited a mess that Rove, and all the other crooks left behind and now they are quick to criticize. The Republicans still have no plan.
The Republicans are sore losers. This is not a Republican or a Democrat problem–this is a country disaster.

Steele is right on target. I can’t believe George can’t tell the difference between creating work and creating jobs. The difference is like getting a job cutting a lawn, vs. getting employment with a landscape company, or starting a landscape company. Either George is not very bright, or he is showing his true liberal colors by disagreeing with Steele. The current stimulus package only provides jobs, more like projects, not long term employment. The difference is huge.

Mr. Steele is another Republican boob! For some reason these Republicans have a short term memory. It is because of his Party being in power for 8 yrs. is the reason we are in this mess. Once again, we men that want the American People to believe that they do no wrong, can solve all the ills of the world and everyone should shut up and do as they say.
Did we do that already?
If the Republicans want to engage in this process, then do so; stop always trying to find fault. If we wanted drama we’d watch American Idol!!

Let me correct Michael Steele’s spin for him:
“Those allegations were leveled by MY FORMER CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN, a convicted felon who was trying to get a reduced sentence on his conviction. . . The thing about this George that is so frustrating to me, is that the Washington Post elevated MY FORMER CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN. And gave him credibility when no one else would. EXCEPT ME, THAT IS.
That’s disturbing.”
Yes, Mr. Steele. It is.

I couldn’t stand it. I had to turn off George’s interview with Mr. Steele this morning. He claims that the Republicans can’t be held responsible for the current econonic mess because it is only 18 months old. Give me a break. It took us 8 years to get to this point. And who had total control? W and his cronies. I’m sure W is laughing right now. Like everything else in his life, he’s made a mess for others to clean up. Except this time, the mess is affecting all of us and his Daddy’s friends can’t fix it for him. The Republical governors had it right; the Republican house and senate member still don’t get it. I’ve already written to Susan Collins and thanked her for showing true leadershp at a time when we need it. I’d suggest others do the same. The rest of the Republicans need to follow her lead. Obama needs all the support we can give him, regardless of our party affiliation. There is too much at stake. And contrary to what Rush Limbaugh says, Obama needs to succeed for everyone’s sake. Steele and the rest of the Republican leadership have already made themselves irrelevant. If they don’t watch it, they will truly become a party in exile.

Once again ABC and G.S. being impartial. He slobbers all over that Summers- who has no credabilty whats so ever and goes on the personal attached agaist Steele. Would G.S. ever interview a Dec, especially a black Dem, like that?
I was clicking through the channels when I saw these two very different interviews. Just reminds me why I will never watch ABC or ABC News. G.S. must go or at least bring on a Rep to co-host to balance out G.S.- he is so unprofessional!

SOUNDS, LOOKS, FEELS LIKE BAIT AND SWITCH TO ME. SAME OLD SAME OLD.

This Dem. vs. Rep. stuff is nonsense. They’re ALL crooked.

Raina,
you are correct. Not at all racist. As a person of color , many minorities find GOP’s attempt to produce thier own” Barack Obama- magic negro” is so obvious and condescending, that they might have did a Al Jolson, and serve us chicken and grape kool-aid. They fail to see past color, that new ideas for the American families is needed. They are a party of exclusive.

Great, another scandal. Eventually everyone from the White House on down will have to resign – except of course the Civil Service that forms the real bureacracy of complacence, are appointed rather than elected, and are heavily protected from disciplinary action such as removal from their post.

The only way this illegal handling of campaign money will be stopped, is to apply punishment so that it sets an example to all. But, alas, it is our lawmakers doing the malfeasance, so no consequences will be.

And the Republicans are SOOO proud of this guy.

Hey George, did you get the inside information from the daily calls you have with Axelrod and Emmanuel?

He’s trying to disassociate himself from his former campaign chairman. It’s as if President Obama were to try disassociating himself from David Plouffe, by saying ” Well, I *WOULD* have talked about the charges he made against me earlier when I was campaigning for the RNC Chairman position, but they simply weren’t credible because the guy was a convicted crook!!”
Yes, Mr. Steele… But he was *YOUR* crook, and a longtime, close political associate of yours. Sentenced to prison for nine years for a $32M fraud / money laundering scheme.
I’m not saying Steele is a crook… I’m just saying that he’s been deceptive and monumentally obtuse in how he’s handled this issue, to the point of disgracing himself and becoming a big liability to his party from Day One.

“Great………ANOTHER CROOK !!

Great… Another stupid dem comment !!

GOP = Corruption

Why is it to the Republicans that any money they give to families for bail out is ok. Maybe the guy who squealed on Mr. Steele’s sister has proof of what he is saying as well.
To Mary Jackson, I was more afraid of what was going to happen to this country if Bush was in much longer, now that was scary and thank God his term is over, but now the rest of us have to deal with the damage that he did in just 8 years. My question to you is why is it always the Republicans to get us into financial messes and the Democrats to get us out of them.

Washington Post hatchet job. Maybe they should look at real news and document some of Murtha, Dodd, Rangel, Frank, Franken, Pelosi and Reid deals. There is a lot there that the media just winks at.

So, 1st the GOP decided they had to get a woman on the ticket, to counter Hillary. Now, they decide they need to have an African American as head of the GOP to counter Obama. Looks like they are playing that “keeping up with jone’s” thing.

Damn straight.
Can *ANY* Republican honestly say that Steele would’ve been electable had this news come out earlier, unless Steele had made unprecidented efforts to prove his innocence without a doubt?
Steele had his chance to preemptively address these charges before he was named RNC Chairman, and he failed, miserably.
Could they honestly say that if David Plouffe was sent to jail for nine years for a $32M fraud scheme, that they’d allow President Obama to walk away from charges of corruption by saying “Well, THIS GUY can’t be trusted! He’s a convicted felon!”
This guy was arguably closer to Michael Steele during his political career than any other person! He spent over a year running every aspect of his Senatorial campaign! You simply do not get that kind of power and influence unless you’re a trusted friend and advisor.

Good one George. I’m sure your daily phone calls to the White House about this was okay’d by Obama. Yes, I know, you and the dems see Mr. Steele as a threat so you have to find something on him. This reminds me of the trashing on Palin also. Where were your questions about Obama’s own aunt living here illegally during the campaign? Where were the questions about Obama’s campaign money contributions that came from Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko and Father Pflager came back to them in spending for their projects? George, where was the question of Obama purchasing his house from felon Tony Rezko for $300,000 less than market value? George, why not question Obama’s Senate office giving almost $1 million in donations to Prime Minister Odenga’s campaign in Kenya? Of course, there were FAR more important questions to ask Mr. Steele than this. I see the democratic mud slinging keeps going on. Politics is as usual and hasn’t gone away.

Kathy, I think you have it backwards. Every Democratic President has left us with a huge financial mess. FDR got us in the Great Depression and the Social security ponzi scheme. Johnson got us Medicare and Medicaid…the never ending money pit. Carter left us with double digit inflation, interest rates and unemployment. Not to mention the long lines at the gas station. We can thank Carter for our problems with Iran too. Wasn’t it Carter who said after the election of Venuzuelan President Hugo Chavez and said it was “legit”. It was a democrat that started Fanny and Freddie. Carter enacted the Community Reinvestment Act and Clinton re-inacted that in 1995. Clinton left Bush a recession with a deficit and Bush had 9/11 which Clinton could have prevented that too. Under Bush, GDP went up 3% each year till 2006…when the dems got in control of Congress. It won’t be too long before Americans wished that Bush was still in control. You’ve actually hired a guy with NO executive experience and no business experience either. 53% of the electorate were fooled.

Gee. another classic head in the sand Repug – it is always someone elses fault. 8 years in the WH, and it is NOT their fault ?? And that poor me “gotcha” by the media again – sound familiar ? What a whining, spineless and corrupt bunch.

“That, I don’t know about”, Steele says. This thing has been investigated all this time, and Steele says he didn’t know that the company run by his sister was dissolved 11 months prior to the payment? That man is a liar. Pure and simple. It’s as bad as Lindsey Graham trying to pass himself off as a straight man.

when you find out something about the rep. it’s gotcha politics, when you find out something abouth the dems, it’s politics as usual, Wow!!!

Lets assume that the gov’t sends people a $700 check… it will buy a chinese, korean, or japanese TV.
Or reduce their taxes by the same $700 over 52 paydays… the worker gets to keep an extra $13.46 each week…
I would prefer that the the gov’t uses that money to repair roads, bridges, parks, whatever…. jobs are created, money earned, houses rented, cars bought, taxes return to the treasury, … and I get to use the roads, bridges, and parks… and someone will also get to sell the owner of the rental property new windows… and pay the installers, manufacturers, etc……….. the installers will buy TurboTax to file their new income tax.
Strangely enough… I have never complained about taxes… or minded paying them. I actually finished ours this morning… and e-filed. I had planned on getting an extension… but just kept plugging along and all of the sudden everything was imputted.The IRS sent a note saying they accepted them. I hope that Tom Dachle wasn’t using the Premire version of Turbotax…
I would like to make at least the inflation rate on CD’s and IRA’s but it may be hard.

I could hardly hear this portion of the interview because I was still laughing at Steele trying to explain the difference between “just work” and jobs. What a joke!!!
This just further exhibits why tokenism Palin style is not a very good route to take.

No matter the mask they put on the policies are always the same.

Always investigate Republicans but never Democrats…This is why I dont watch TV anymore.

Joe6Pack,
are you from that county, or are you just repeating rumors someone spread?????

Hello Democrats! I’m sick of my party the Repubicans spouting their illogical philosophies and their complete negligence of their deceptions, that of this day forward I’m registering as a Democrat, if you will have me. I’m truly sorry I voted for Bush & McCain. I have learned my lesson. Please forgive me.

Mr. Steele’s definition of “work vs jobs” was jaw-dropping. Perhaps someone needs to explain this Mr RNA and all his obstructionist cohorts: If the stimulus bill creates “work” the people who do that work will get paid in something we capitalists call “money”. And guess what they will do with that money: They will BUY things. And guess what that will do: It will create DEMAND, which means businesses will have to HIRE PERSONNEL to fill that demand, which creates–Wait for it!–JOBS!
Just how much cockamammy reasoning can these Republican reactors (as opposed to “thinkers”) support??

Democrats are the biggest crooks ever. but thats OK by a liberal, because they are democrats and they are accepted no matter what they have done. Mr Steele has just TOLD you all he did nothing wrong and a judge ruled that nothing would ever materialize from this claim, but you dimbats still go on about it.
Get back to college, get your education, and then when you enter the real world you will hopefully learn to appreciate genuine people like Mr Steele. he desserves so much respect, much more then Obama.
Mr Steele, your exactly what the republican party needs right now and everybody is behind you 110%

I agree with this post thanks. You go Mr Steele we will be praying for you

GEORGE BUSH INHERITED A RECESSION???
I am rather surprised that Stephanopolous nor his roundtable picked up on Steele’s blatant lie in his first few sentences saying that ‘ bush inherited a recession too!!!”. Not only is the man a crook, a token and an Uncle Tom fronting for the racist on the wrong side rebulicans, but hiis an outright liar. We all know Bush inherited a surplus of several billion $$ from Clinton. How far will they go these Republicans to misrepresent facts? George I was waiting 2 hear you drag him oout on this one, but even without it, you showed him to be a huge liar. He said the FBI had closed the case of his tthievery paying money to his sister, while at the same time saying he will take the initiative to provide all documents to the FBI. Steele tell us why you need to provide the FBI with exculpatory evidence on a case you claim is closed. LIAR liar your GOP is on fire, and you are UNCLE TOM, and the house slave ( nicer word substituted) combined.

I watched the interview. I used to think Steele was intelligent but now I realise, he is just another Republican. Know nothing about Economics. Trying to differentiate between work and jobs. When you have a job, are you not performing a work? Stupid! What he was trying to do is differentiate between temporary jobs and permanent jobs. Some temporary jobs later become permanent jobs, Mr Steele and theses workers will be paid in dollars that they will be more likely to spend. Give all the tax-cuts and yet if we the people are not spending, JOBS WILL NEVER BE CREATED. There must be a demand before there is a supply.

When they start to build the bridges and parks who do you think will be building them, people here illegally from south of the border, you bet on it. I am in Georgia and they passed a law about only legal Americans working on state projects. They just built a new bridge and school near me and the supervisors had to speak Spanish. Why the heck is it that no one talks about out sourcing our jobs and then bringing in workers with phony visas. How bad does it have to get before we all take to the streets like in France?

Sure the WP should be ashamed! And you should too! Yours sister, that was married to Mike Tyson, didn’t know the status of her company? How long was the Catering business in business or was it started to jump start her economy? Are not Taxes filed yearly and Monthly if the business is thriving? What serious minded person name a food business “Brown Sugar” and have a lawyer on staff? Come on Micheal you never thought Obama would get in office and a door would open for you! Tell the truth we are not stuck on Stipid brother! You have a finger facing Dashle and a thumb is pointing back at cha!

Back to the original article, nice try Washington Post. George, shame on you, why don’t we stick to the current administration President Obama has put together. They have enough problems as it stands. George, your staff should do some research before bringing up such false issues from convicted felons.

I really wish somebody would start “investigating” all of the shoddy practices and activities at the Washington Post. Their style of journalism has fallen to that of the supermarket tabloids. When are we going to start ignoring the kind of sensationalist journalism that the Washington Post, NY Times and others engage in? I know they have to sell newspapers, but to do so by overlooking the truth is simply a journalistic form of McCarthyism.

You dems need to stop drinking your “kool-aid” out of the gutter. GS you are a disgusting disgrace to what journalism is supposed to be. The worm turns. It is sooooo funny to see the shoe on the other foot. Talk about criminals–Geitnherliar, Daschleliar, Clintonliar, Frankenliar, Kennedyliar, Reidliar, Pelosiliar, Frankliar, McCaskilliar; all cut out of the same cloth. They are all related and the list could go on and on. Now, the Republicans find a man who is honest, ethical, and full of integrity and ya’ll, beginning with Stephanliarsuculus, try to discredit him, reminiscent of dear sweet Sarah. We will see about the next election. You go Mr. Steele. We are behind you 150 percent. You dems picked the wrong dog to bring to the fight this time.

Thanks Russel G
George is a Clinton ABC appiontee. He does they’re dirty work to this day.
What kind of people bring up lies and attack the person not the truth? Oh yeah Democrats!!!! Clean sweep in 2010 watch and see!!!!

Steele sure proved to be a deceptive and misguided piece of work. Since when is contracted work not considered jobs. The guy has the GOP spiel down pat…..so glad he coddles his family and wealthy friends with cash and tax cuts…..same old same old. Obama on the other hand better learn quick to avoid lobbyists, tax cheats and people with hidden interests in their work so he can get what he needs to get all of us back on track in this country.

People get tired of these whining republicans crying that it is only the press picking on them and that the press doesn’t pick on Democrats. What a bunch of cry babies. What about the stink the press has made about Obama’s picks and their taxes, one of which was for only $900.00 Stop crying and grow up?..

Hey cos1020
Steele is a cut above and you know it. However the tax cheats and ect. Is all there is to choose from in the Demoncrat party. Ha! They even addmit they take orders from the NY Times. The only reason quality Americans don’t run in the Rep. races, because of the CRIMINALS in the media.

i love it….democrats act on allegations when it comes to the opposition and ignore tha facts when their own boys and girls cant seem to pay their taxes. if were talking keeping up with the jones its not where the gop wants to go…i think the country could not survive another live on the dole community organizer.

Steele is correct. I work for a company that was dissolved back in September due to bankruptcy and we are still going after people that owe us money so that we can pay our debtors, we have a small group of employees still actively working to tie up loose ends and file our complete our 2008 filings (5500′s and such) just because a company is dissolve does not mean that their creditors does not have to pay their debts, it’s amazing to me that they were willing to come out with this story before getting all of the facts, but has been so hesitant to report anything dealing with Obama and his shady dealings and before you say it. I am a registered Democrat. However, I am not a kool-aid drinker, my eyes are wide open all of these politicians are shady but their is definately a double standard here.

Rom 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Vote for morality not feelings next time

I’m a criminal attorney and one thing I have learned over the years is that people are always making allegations that African Americans committed this or that crime and they allegations are always false, just as Mr. Steele has said.

Hahahahahahaha. I love it. These repugs are a joke. Steele, your nothing but a houseboy who thinks he has the reins. Are you in for a surprise. These white old men will toss your sorry butt under the bus when the time comes. And believe me, that time is coming. Next election, you will be lucky to find one Repug who is still in office if they keep trying to bring this country to its knees. This is their way of trying to punish Americans who voted for Obama. Any half blind individual can see this. Most repugs are stupid enough to swallow this bull. But make sure, your days are all numbered. Come 2010, there won’t be a Repug holding office anywhere except maybe in the south and even there they are starting to feel the pinch of this recession. I can’t wait to see what all these repug supports have to say when they all get their walking papers from work. Try feeding your families or even better> Try asking the repug party to support you and your family when you can’t even feed them.See what they tell you then. Hahahahahahahahaha

Republican Supporter = Uneducated, stupid, dillusional, gun-totting, religious fanatic who thinks everyone is below him. But the best description of a Republican is, Sore Loser. Hahahahahahahaha

Poor George. Can’t see 3 inches infront of his nose. Such is the entire Democratic party.
Creating Government job for infrastructure is TEMPORARY. Further, when the recently unemployed auto worker shows up on the construction site, what job do you think he’ll get? Bulldozer driver? Crane operator? No- those jobs take training, skill, and much experience. They will be handed a shovel and told to go dig ditches. How many will stay? How many would rather leach off of the unemployment rolls?
To fix the economy we must help permanent businesses. Throwing money into a bottomless pit will not work. Yes, we’ll have pretty new bridges and roads, but our country will be broke, inflation will grow like it did with Jimmy Carter, and we’ll be in exactly the same employment boat we are in now. This is stupidity at it’s best.
Think long term people. Before it’s too late.

HEY STEELE,
GET OFF YOUR KNEES AND WIPE YOUR LIPS…………IT’S EMBARASSING !!!!
Did the GOP at least take you out to dinner first?

Dr Dan, you make me laugh! When you complain about how dumb everybody else is, but make basic spelling and grammar errors in your diatribes, we all see you for what you really are, just another toad who isn’t smart enough to sort out what you hear on Fox News. Keep it coming, we enjoy this.

Aaaawwwwwwwww Badger1 , is that all you can come up with. Wah wah wah wah. You sound like a broken record. Must be pretty bad to be in last place after GW and his liars and cheats, put you there. Hahahahahahaha I love it. Crybabies. What a bunch of whiners

Listen to this sucker John ranting in defense of his backstabbing,deceitful messiah, Obama,,,, or is it Soetoro?
When did he legally change his name back to Obama any way? :D Is that why he’s hiding his college admissions records? Boy you guys got yourselves a real winner with the coke snortin, cancer stick smokin, befriender of terrorists Obama :D I know,, a jr senator/community organizer is a great qualification :D
Hey John, have you seen the chosen ones, birth certificate? Funny he elected to hide it. Wonder why? :D
You must feel like a real Dummy eh?

I am so disappointed with Mr. Steele and the Republican Party. Politics as usual. Have we learned nothing in the past eight years of political horror. Grow up. This type of hateful and destructive retoric will not help the country. It will only help bring us down.

To Jeff
Thanks for posting your thoughts. I agree, cause I lived thru it. Clinton was a joke, a criminal, a liar. Bush before he lost his way had a 90% approval, I believe. That makes history…..

Vicki said,” I listened to all the republican criticism of Obama -they did not even give him a chance.” yeah – and the democrats were just waiting in the winds to help Bush and give him a chance. Stop drinking the liberal Kool Aid and start thinking for yourself.

Jim Bob – No republican has even mentioned anything about Steele’s race. The ONLY people bringing up the race issue are the liberal nazis like yourself. You left wing nazis are so obsessed with race and identitiy politics. Republicans want everyone wealthy and independent. You have been so brainwashed with racial identitiy politics and bitterness because of listening to the left, that you do not even know what you say or do. Electing a black man president should not be news in a nation like ours. But, it is news to those like you who have been taught that America is a racist and hate-filled country. We are the most intergrated and diverse nation in the history of hte world. Rather than celebrating that fact, you liberal nazis cling to this notion of a hate-filled nation that is trying to bring you down. Remember- race in America is only exploited by the left – not the republicans. Keep eating the bait, moron.

Steele, here’s an Oreo for ya, your favorite cookie, I betcha.

This is the Small Business that is talked about by the GOP. Small Business employ sisters, brothers, uncles, aunt, nieces, parents, brother/sister in law……..so where is there’s room for me?
Keep lying GOP, you’re clever. You have followers that just doesn’t get it. Except for the rich ones, they get it clearly.

badger1== mindless neocon nazi rethuglican… man grow up obama is a american born citizen…to you think with all teh nasty rove style haters working for the gop if there was proof he wasnt a citizen they would have found it..the sour grapes you loser are eating are turning you guys even more evil then you have always been it will suck being you demons when you face god of judgement day straight to hell for you.

Wow, I didn’t think that the GOP could get any more pathetic. I guess I was wrong. This gimmick will work just as well as “since we have Palin on our ticket, Hillary supporters and women will come running” mentality.
REMEMBER THAT BRILLIANT IDEA ?!?
I am an independent and that stunt insulted me and every woman that I know. I’m sure that African-Americans feel the same way with this Steele pick. Putting a black face out in front of wack jobs like Ann Coulter, Sean Klannity and that mess of a man Flush Limbaugh, is a total joke. As long as the republican part keeps up these gimmicks, they will never get one independent vote.

Dalton – yes and the years of government entitlement spending from democrats has just done wonders for the blacks in this country hasn’t it? The democrat machine has you drinking their kool aid well. Keep drinking my friend. You are exactly where they want you to be.

Great………ANOTHER CROOK !!

Exactly.

Bush did indeed inherit a recession. Check ou the CBO website. For all of you Obama voters, CBO means Congressional Budget Office. Bush actually steered the country very well but then went crazy with spending.

George – that was quite an attack on Michael Steele this morning. I’m not a Republican or Democrat just a Canadian that pays attention and I saw a venom in both your willful “misunderstanding” of creating long term vs. short term construction jobs and then hammering him on an allegation. Can’t see you doing that to Geitner. Not your style. If I wanted bias, I’d look to Donna Brazille.

T – I thought it was only those crazy right wing radicals who spoke like that? Guess liberal nazis like yourself do too. You need to get laid pal.

Unbelievable. Obama gets a tongue bath from Steppy, and Steele gets a rectal exam.

He looks like a pen!s with glasses.

she was the most qualified to. wink wink

I can’t believe what I just read. The donkey really needs to be changed to the hippo, as in hypodemocrits. You just elected a person to be the leader of the greatest nation on the face of this earth for one reason only because of his skin color and now you point a finger at the GOP for placing a black man to the position as leader of the RNC. Remember this John, he who laughs last laughs loudest. You really embody the essence of the hypodemocrits, a bunch of hot air and no substance. We will be victorious in 2010. Especially when the president-in-training screws up our economy, military, health care, moral fiber, etc., etc., etc. I wonder if he has put any cigarette butts, roaches, stogies out on the Presidential Seal in the oval office yet? As he used to do in his dorm room. Don’t get me wrong, I too would vote for a black man for president, just not the wrong one like the one you hypodemocrits did. I would have voted for a Michael Steele or J.C. Watts. Someone with sound conservative principles. Someone who can think beyond talking points and teleprompters. Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Tax cuts work, Reagan proved that. Handouts don’t, like you entitlement junkies have proven throughout the years that you have controlled congress. You have such short memories. 40 years you idiots. And each time a Republican president came in and saved the day you subsequently trashed their work. And here we go again. I still am trying to figure out how we are going to survive the next four years.
BTW–Thanks Rainy–I am relatively new to blogging and am enjoying myself immensely.

Pure and simple. It’s as bad as Lindsey Graham trying to pass himself off as a straight man.
Posted by: Brad | Feb 8, 2009 1:33:33 PM
Are you saying that Lynsey Graham is like Foley and Craig… shame on you… If they were an Oreo cookie, Lynsey would be the white sweet stuff in the McCain and Liebermans Oreo. He keeps them slightly apart…. you know how the republicans like their cookies… lickin’ good!
—————————————————–
I think the republicans would like to have a glass of whine with their Oreo coookies.
Get over it… it’s time for the democrats to clean up your mess again.
Put the crook Micky in jail.

Well, there may be an upside: Conservatives, you would hope, will now at last retire the “Barack the Magic Negro” schtick.
From “Crooks and Liars”

Not a chance. Hussein will have back pedaled enough and the lies and promises broken will be enough to disillusion even the stupidest of you hypodemocrits. Your lives and the lives of most all Americans will be so messed up that the house and senate cleaning will begin.

All the replublicans are blasting away at the democrats on the new stimulus package. What is it supposed to be, stay the course! Why, because we don’t want to admit we gave away the first stimulus package to big corporations and businesses and can’t account for it. So, let’s blow a smoke screen to get the heat off of them. Doing nothing is what they’ve been doing now for most of the 29 years they’ve been in charge. Let’s face it. Since 1980 (Ronald Regan & George HW Bush) there’s been a bush in the white house for 20 of the past 28 years! Is this just a coincidence? Come on people. Teddie Kennedy hasn’t done anything for me either but what did “W” do for you? Stay the course. Bull! Only if your rich, a large corporation or business, a bank or utility would you say let’s wait it out. They know they’re about to lose some substantial money in they’re pockets. I fact, all politicians Democrats and Republicans had better fess up or everyone will be under great scrutiny. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. Let’s give it to the people and not the fat cat politicians and special interests! Stay the course, my A$$!

George, great job with the Michael Steele interview. He started running away like he was in charge. Arrogant I would say. Then, the question about his sister. I nearly died! What a great question. Shut him right up and put him on the defense. Just another crooked politician!

GW–Not nothing. Are you really that brain dead? The Republicans have put forth a viable solution. Get the money into the hands of responsible Americans who have proven that they know what to do with it. The so-called stimulus package concocted by the house hypodemocrits is so full of pork it oinked all the way to the senate. Again, you entitlement junkies have been at the teet so long it is just too scary for you to consider there might be a better way.

As a black woman I look at Mr Steele and have to wonder why did they put him at the head of the Republican party he acts as if he is in wonderland as if the last 8 years did not happen also the question about his sister floored him he shows know respect for President Obama at all I think that he is a bit confused

you republicans are too funny the best you all could come up with was steele:)

I thought we were going to get change and hope. But your mantra is the same. More government, bigger government. The government can supply all of our needs. More government, bigger government. The government can supply all of our needs. More government, bigger government. The government can supply all of our needs. More government, bigger government. The government can supply all of our needs. Don’t you see my hand out. Oh barack please give me what I need. I can’t pay for my house will you pay for it for me? I can’t afford health care will you buy me a policy? I can’t pay for my college tuition can you pay it for me? I can’t afford my condoms can you buy them for me? Talk about whiners. You are sucking us dry. And you wonder why we are in this financial mess right now. The Welfare system is killing us. And now you dimocrits want to expand the program. The message is clear and the truth will be revealed the Dems got us into this mess and it will have to get worse for the people to see that the Republicans are the only ones that can get us out it.

Republicans obviously have no idea what they are doing. McCain, Palin, Bush, Cheney, and now this boob Steele. I voted for Ronald Reagan, but ever since him, this party has become a total joke. Whenever you have a party going to the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter, you know they are just about done. True conservatives and true patriots would never support the likes of these bozos.

You wouldn’t know would you bonita? Responsible people are those who have paid their own way. They don’t have their hands out asking for more government money. The responsible people don’t get bad mortgages and then cry foul and expect the federal government to bail them out. Responsible people live within their means. Most of the dems I know are not this type of person.

What a JOKE!! The press has left the crooked Democrats who didn’t pay their taxes, completely alone. They are going after the honest Republican. What a sorry group of people.

Go back to sleep you idiot. The responsible people I was talking about are good honest hard working Americans. Like most of the conservatives. You wouldn’t know about that would you. Because you are one of those liberal hypodemocrits.

Well Well lookie what we have here, The same old same old. I thought he was bringing Change to the RNC LOL! Poor fool he doesnt even realize hes being used by the RNC,That Republican party is a mess no wonder why their Lying and trying to Destroy President Obama, Ding Dong the wicked RNC Is DEAD!

Steele stealing from the American people. Rupublicans are crooks and they stole America blind. Bush too.

“WEEZ CAN HAZ A MAGIC NEGRO TOO!”
….republicans are pathetic.

Republicans are waiting on Obama to screw up, but this country was already screwed up by Bush and the Renothingcans. We are just trying to clean up after their mess of 8 years. 2010 is very close and we have to finish off this awful Republican party. Vote anything but Republican. Just say no.

Maybe the republicans should try getting a midget to head the party. I am sick and tired of the midget population getting looked over.

Just would like to say how completely disgusted I am at the Republicans who completely voted against the stimulous package, and then had the nerve to come up with basically a tax break only alternative to the bill. What a bunch of bull. They make me wanna puke in my mouth.

So, his finance chairman is aconvicted felon.

The Republicans have a real leader in Mr. Steele and you Lefties are creating false impressions within milliseconds. Its the Palin trashing all over again.
Have you no shame ABC? Stephanopolis has daily strategy sessions with the Carville and the WH staff any you call yourselves newsmen?
You have sold your souls and we will never trust you again.

house negro steele…this has to drive all the kkk member republicans nuts…alot of republicans jumped shipbecause of palin now there will be many more jumping because of the steele negro

Come on Steele. Did the GOP at least take you out to dinner first? GEESH !!!

Daniel:
You are a delusional, ignorant,
Liberal Democrat!
The Republican Party doesn’t have to
create anything.
We had Colin Powell and Condi Rice way
before anyone knew who Obama was!
But I have to give you Dems Props.
You still have Mr KKK, Robert C Byrd,
in the U.S. Senate!
You Dems still get credit(if that’s what
you call it) for beating and hosing
down blacks in the 1960′s when a
vast majority of the racist southern
governors were Dems.
Yep you Dems have a lot to be proud of.
NOT!

T:
You ought to brush up on your History!
You currently have a revered Democrat
in the U.S. Senate who actually was
a KKK member. You should be proud. Duh!
The Republican Party is the party of
Lincoln Not the Democrats.
There has been a national brainwashing
campaign since the 1960′s to hide the fact that the oppressers of blacks
during those times were Democrat
Governors like George Wallace of
Alabama and Lestor Maddox of Georgia!
In fact the 1964 Civil Rights Act was
passed by Congressional Republicans
not Democrats.
The Democrat Party owes an apology to
all African Americans in this
country!

to ‘GOP pure evil’ … I strongly recommend that you read “Economic Facts and Fallacies” by Thomas Sowell…you need all the help that you can muster.

Steele should sue the Washington Post – the newspaper’s behavior in this in unprofessional and perhaps illegal. They simply ignored facts and, once again, published fiction and tried to pass it off as fact. Sad thing is, there are people out there who believe what they read, even when it’s in the Washington Post, the New York Times, etc.

Why was this black man elected as RNC chairman? What significance does he bring to the renovation of the GOP ideology? This is a classic patsy ploy to revel around an edict that continues to wallop in its maze of misery and confucianism. Stop the madness!

When he said a constuction job is not a real job. I wanted to reach through the TV and say GEORGE! Tell him that my husband has worked constuction jobs that are temporary for 10 years. They go from job to job when one is finished there is another one. Until the George Bush took office. It is good for the worker when there are lots of jobs it keeps their salaries more competative. The guys who pay the most get the best help. Thousands and Thousands of people make a living this way. The small business I work for does not and has not paid a dime of Taxes in the 12 years I have worked for them. I know I do the books. They have hundreds of loopholes. Example. Their computer breaks at home. They bring it to work call a computer guys tell him to charge it to the company. The company pays for it. Income not taxed an expense to the company. They buy cokes for a coke machine charge the cokes to the company and take the money they make off employees buying them. There are hundreds of things fix your car, pay for a deer lease. PLEASE AMERICA wake up. Both my bosses are Repulicans. They tell me how much they do for the country. I want to puke.

Once again we have a political discussion that has turned into nothing but a bunch of made up “facts” and name calling. Is there noone who can have a discussion based on facts anymore?

Well george, you’re being a tool again for the obamas spin machine. Creating controversy to get the heat off the cronies nominated by barrack.

“They go from job to job when one is finished there is another one. Until the George Bush took office.” Posted by: Rose MacAskie
Rose, If what you are saying is true – that your construction worker husband worked steadily until the day George Bush took office – then I don’t believe you can blame his lack of employment on Bush. Construction boomed from 2000 until about mid 2007, so much so that illegal labor became common on many construction sites.
Also, I don’t know what you do for the company that you work for, but unless you are their accountant, you probably don’t have a clue how much they do or don’t pay in taxes. No company avoids taxes completely.

DaveM:
Are you Stupid!
Do you not realize that one of your
Party’s leaders, Senator Robert C Byrd
of West Virginia was a member of the
KKK? Don’t you know that the vast
majority of racist southern governors
who suppressed blacks in the 1960′s
were Democrats like George Wallace and
Lestor Maddox?
Read some American History before you
post dumb remarks!
I can tell you why a black person would
want to be a Republican.
Because prior to Barack Obama’s
nomination and election it was
Republicans who appointed Colin Powell
and Condi Rice to the highest positions
an African-American had held!
They never claimed that “Bill Clinton
was the first black president” like
some phoney Dems did.
The Dems believe in the welfare state,
as in keeping blacks dependent on the
federal government(sort of like the
old plantations in the south)!
Whereas Republicans want to raise blacks up, help them succeed in business, and start their own businesses! You’ve been brain-washed
for far too long by the liberal news
media. Do some research and see the
light!

Wow, Dems like Jenner and Dave M are absolutely ignorant. They have no sense of integrity and neither does the media. Steele is an extremely smart and honorable man. How much more evidence does he need to provide? He does not need to exonerate himself because he has done nothing wrong. The media today has lost all credibility and only uneducated people like Jenner and Dave M keep their papers in print. Why would I even want to read papers like the NY Times or the Washington Post? I might as well pick up a copy of the Enquirer to get my daily dose of “news”. These papers used to have some degree of ethical behavior and courtesy. They’ve lost that and this is why they have to retract their stories all the time (especially when it comes to Republicans). Of course, by then the damage is already done even when the man is innocent. So the innocent are irreversibly damaged by the false accusations of the ignorant. These newspapers can’t get their facts straight or they choose to absolutely neglect them. Kind of like Jenner and Dave M. They’re all really pathetic.

The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget

I see more hate of one party for another than I ever have before.
Obama’s leadership example is abysmal.
Why does he keep claiming tolerance and bipartisanship when we’ve heard so much sarcasim and finger pointing from the POTUS?
America will be circling the drain and her people will still be fighting each other.

I LOVE MICHAEL STEELE. I THINK HE WILL HELP OUR COUNTRY — IF THE LIBERALS IN CONGRESS DON’T DESTROY US FIRST.
NOW WE HAVE THE AL CAPONE GOVERNMENT AT ITS BEST — PERJURY, TAX EVASION, CONSPIRACIES, BRIBERY, FRAUD, RICO, GOODBYE AMERICA AS I KNEW YOU!!!
MAJOR TRIUMPH FOR OBAMA — MAJOR CATASTROPHE FOR OUR COUNTRY
A 160 million dollar inauguration wasn’t enough of a slap in the face to a hurting nation. Now he flies all over the country at taxpayers’ expense.
President Obama will sign the spending package but maybe he should add that members of Congress, both Houses should have an income freeze as quickly as they spend our money without even reading the spending bill created by lobbyists.
Where is representative government?
Everyone needs to stay engaged — pay attention and inform your family and friends of what is happening. We have elections coming in 2010 to set things right. We need to replace our members of Congress. In the meantime, speak up to your local and state officials — often!!!!
