What I'm Reading 5.17.09: Steele Suffering from Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome

It's a Michael Steele special today.

Yes It's that Bad for the GOP. By Chuck Todd, NBC News

Effectively lays out the GOP's current position. Similar to my previous blog, but also calls attention to Republican deficiencies among minorities, the young, the college educated, and the suburban. All growing groups that will field even more voters in future elections. I would also add that they have a disadvantage with women voters.

White House Laughs at GOP Idea to Call Democrats "Socialists." By Jimmy Orr, Christian Science Monitor
Apparently, so is Michael Steele, on Meet the Press today he distanced himself from the RNC resolution that moved to rename the Democratic Party.

I would have liked to hear Steele talk about this also. The problem he describes is true of straight marriage as much as it is true about Gay marriage. Perhaps Mr. Steele would like to resolve this problem by eliminating marriage all together.

He's careful to say "Democrats" rather than "Obama," the NRA tried that already, and it was a lie. I don't know why the Republican Party feels the need to kiss the ass of people that will vote Republican no matter what and their willingness to engage in bald-face lies to try to tear down Obama certainly do not inspire trust.
