Michael Steele -vs- Liberal Progagandists

Michael Steele wrote a beautiful critique of the liberal Democrats' porkulus bill in USA Today.

Of course, the comments forum was visited by the mushy headed thinkers who eat the Democrats's socialist propaganda and crap it out on the rest of us:

Like always Steele gets it wrong. The GOP gave away 1.3 trillion dollars in tax cuts under Bush most of it geared toward their rich friends. The end result is the current financial mess that we are in. It seems that they never will learn from their mistakes. For good measure the GOP is now trying to rewrite the history of the great depression of the 1930's in an effort to mask their mistakes of today. Sorry Steele but the GOP has never understood the American economy and never will. Tax cuts are not the answer. It is not possible to run this nation on a 1930's tax rate. What we need is jobs and the only way to make jobs is to spend money. We also need national health care which would go a long way towards helping out American bossiness. It's time to spend our taxes dollars on us instead of the massive spending on defense. It's time we learned to get along with the rest of the world and them with us- in other words GROW UP

Here is my response. Not surprisingly, out there, never responded back. These liberal graffiti artists spray their unintelligible blather and run like hell so the logic police won't nab them:

Out there: Please show the correlation and causation between tax cuts and economic failure. The answer is you can't. Cutting taxes and freeing the private sector has worked everywhere it has been tried. Government controlled economy has worked nowhere.

Your liberal propaganda sounds good but crumbles under scrutiny.

Government make-work jobs, like in the 30's, kept people from starving, which was a good thing, but it did not rebuild the economy. The economy did not recover until FDR loosened government control over everything and let the private sector do what it does best: Create real jobs and grow a real economy.

Our free market system works until Dems like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd get in bed with Fannie, Freddie, and the Wall Street banksters, exempting them from government regulation. Look it up: Wall street has given overwhelmingly to the Democrats over the last 8 years. Follow the money!

Our failure is a moral one, and the liberal democrats led the way into oblivion.

Who do you blame for wrecks on the interstate? President Eisenhower for implementing the interstate system? How about automobiles? Do you blame the interstate system itself, or do you blame those who don't follow the rules of the road?

Yes, it is time to grow up and stop believing everything you hear just because your guy said it.

No to Newt


Washington Times reports the Republican National Committee (RNC) is looking for new leadership. Michael Steele and Newt Gingrich are the two most mentioned to replace the decent but ineffectual Mike Duncan.

Newt is not the one. Don't get me wrong. I think he's a brilliant man and his brain is just the engine to drive the GOP to renewed victory. He just shouldn't be the face of the party. He is too polarizing. Half of the country hates him, quite unfairly I think, but these are the facts. The left has drawn horns and a pointy tail on him with an indelible sharpie.

We're are a nation split down the middle:

MSNBC, Air America, HuffPo, Daily Kos
-vs-
Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Free Republic, RightWingNews

... and never the twain shall meet.

The GOP needs a leader who is intelligent, conservative, charismatic, articulate, and can appeal to all Americans, not just right-wingers like me. Michael Steel is that man:
Those ... who want to see Mr. Steele as the face of the party say he has the "it" required for national stardom - that he is tall, articulate and charismatic. Mr. Steele headed the Maryland Republican Party (and was the only black state party chairman) before being elected lieutenant governor and then losing his U.S. Senate race two years ago.
Meanwhile, Newt can continue being Newt, cranking out ideas and debating them in various forums throughout the country. The GOP needs to listen to his ideas if they want to get their mojo back. But putting him out front would be a mistake. Michael Steele is an accomplished man who proved his leadership skills as GOPAC chairman. The RNC needs him at the helm.

A final note: Will the GOP finally abandon the creaking, decrepit country club republicanism once and for all? The RNC needs to fire everybody over 30 and hire a bunch of 20-something conservatives. That would get the sick elephant back up on its feet and scattering donkeys in no time.
