DISQUS

AMERICAblog: RNC chair Steele's campaign under investigation by feds

  • sukabi1 · 9 months ago
    too funny.... especially since he just sacked the ENTIRE RNC staff...

    the insider stories are going to start in 3 .... 2 ..... 1 ....
  • One Key Missing · 9 months ago
    Yeah, that was my first thought.

    He pissed off a lot of people with that stunt.

    And I don't think it was a secret around the RNC that Steele was crooked.

    And let's not forget his little stunt of busing in homeless African Americans from PA and calling them supporters and volunteers who gave out literature with pictures of Democrats:

    "...The glossy fliers bore photos of black Democratic leaders on the front. Under the headline "Democratic Sample Ballot" were boxes checked in red for Ehrlich and Senate candidate Michael S. Steele, who were not identified as Republicans. Their names were followed by a long list of local Democratic candidates...."

    There isn’t much room for bipartisanship when 87.8% of the other party is totally irresponsible.---krugman

    Most tokens are on the take.

    Why else would they work against their people's own interests?
  • blackwolf · 9 months ago
    Steele is beyond all of that. Being on the take would be understandable in a twisted kind of way. This man actually believes in the GOP cause. He's working against AMERICA'S interests.

    Oops!
  • Older_Wiser · 9 months ago
    Well, if you read the article, these are allegations by a former insider who was hoping to get a deal on sentencing, and I'm sure they will be explained away. However--the smell won't go away, and the more of that, the merrier.

    Let's see if the FEC gets involved. Of course, the Rethugs will be yelling it's a Dem conspiracy...but it's also a way the RNC can get Steele to step down so they can get a white person in there. [snark]

    Jeez, don't the Republicans VET these guys? [snark-snark]

    Funny.

    OT, but here's a comment that really pisses me off, especially since I detest Rahm. According to digby the reich-wing cut alot of important items in the stimulus (jobs) bill - just to get 2 f-ing votes to prevent a fillibuster... why not let them filibuster..

    Before Emanuel arrived, Collins said, Democrats were advocating $63 billion in cuts. "Then Rahm got involved, and a much better proposal came forward," she said"

    This in conjunction with Broder's piece in the Post today doesn't make things look good for Steele.

    Is there some genetic anomaly that prevents Republicans from doing things upfront and above board?

    GREAT Choice guys!!! They picked a guy who keeps the narrative and memory of the gOP culture of corruption alive!

    The gOP, the gift that keeps on giving.

    LOL
  • Apphouse50 · 9 months ago
    Good things come to those who wait. And wow! This time we didn't even have to wait very long at all!

    I sure hope this gels, because I wanna see this fool go down hard. It took me all of about 4 hours to get sick of seeing his face and hearing his praises sung on cable news.

    I wonder if the ink is dry on all those resignations he demanded this week. I wonder if they've all been handed in yet.
  • blackwolf · 9 months ago
    Good point! Thanks for reminding me of that. They're pissed, and would love to see him taken down because of his......arrogance. That was the first wedge he drove between himself and the GOP. This should be fun to watch.

  • Zardozinhell · 9 months ago
    This is too funny.

    I told you, it's in the GOP 's DNA...lie, cheat, steal and put keep those "curious" gay urges in the closet.

    One man's token is another man's slug.

    So I curled up on my balcony sofa – coat and red scarf and thick socks – and opened a book sent by a kindly Independent reader, a much bent copy of Snyder and Morris's 1949 A Treasury of Great Reporting. And I began to wonder – in an age when the BBC can refuse help to the suffering because of its "impartiality" – whether we still report war with the same power and passion as the men and women of an earlier generation.

    Typical republican crook but, hillarious. Just f..king hillarious. Maybe they can get don king to run the rnc? HMC LAVADOG
  • Ted K. · 9 months ago
    Look closely at the photo. Steele is sitting at the place of Ron Nehring, the closet-case Grover Norquist acolyte who used to run the GOP in California before the Governator gelded him and put his own people in de facto control.
  • aquarius2 · 9 months ago
    LOL LOL How appropriate, the Rethugs pick a crook to head their party.
  • agentX · 9 months ago
    Typical GOP crap. Change we can believe in? Hardly...
    Well, just like McCrane, Steele was their choice by default since the #1 gave up early like Giu911ani.
  • Denise · 9 months ago
    See that's what happens when you don't vet properly, Rush. Maybe you should've waited to open your fat mouth. Did you support him because he was black? Eat your words you blowhard lying sack of shit.
  • blackwolf · 9 months ago
    Denise, I understand your thinking, but here's a heads-up. Steele isn't black:) They didn't vet Steele properly. The GOP thought they'd take Obama down with Kryptonite (that would be Steele). But like Palin, this will hang over his head. He paid funds-- that didn't belong to him--for work that was never performed--to members of his own family. It's GOP stink.
