Michael Steele: 'You have no reason to trust our word'
RNC chairman Michael Steele, being obsequious before La Rush Petit, Glenn Beck, on his Fox show yesterday, let slip an inadvertent truth about Republicans in general:
Beck: Michael, ah, you know, the Democrats should not be pushing for the Fairness Doctrine, because quite honestly, um, I think, at least my radio audience is more pissed at you guys than they are the Democrats. We expect socialism from some of the Democrats, we don't expect it from you. And if I may be so bold to speak for a lot of people here, I can tell you how I feel, and I think a lot of people feel this way.
We actually believed in something in 2000. We believed in something in 2004. It's not really easy to be, you know, the pariah in your office, to be the hatemonger racist that wants to steal, you know, starve everybody's children and just hates anybody who is different. We actually took a lot of crap for a long time, and then you guys betrayed us. Why we would we even think twice of pulling a lever again? Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice -- oh my God!
Steele: No, Glenn, look, I'm not going to soft-pedal this with you, I'm not going to try to blow smoke either. The reality of it is you are absolutely right. You have absolutely no reason -- none -- to trust our word or our actions at this point.
So yeah, it's going to be an uphill climb.
I don't think admitting that they've proven themselves utterly untrustworthy is going to convince anyone that now they are. Especially when they're making the confession to nutcases who think they weren't rigidly ideological enough.
"Fool me once, shame one me, fool me twice -- oh my God!"
What is it that they can't get this particular expression right? Is it because once they actually understood it, they'd realize that it was at the core of their approach to voters?
I once knew someone who couldn't get the expression "It's six of one, half a dozen of the other" no matter how hard he tried, he'd keep saying "Okay, so it's six of half, then... a dozen of the others?"
"Think about what it MEANS", I'd advise him. "You're just trying to echo the sound of it, but there's a logic to it, once you get what it means you'll have an easier time remembering it."
I suppose trying to analyze the sub-literate rantings of Glenn Beck is a fool's errand, but sheesh. Give us some intelligent Republicans again, what happened to the party of William F Buckley? He was a moron philosophically, but at least he could string two words together without sounding like a three-year-old.
I was just about to become a life-long member of the RNC but you talked me out of it!
And I was going to donate everything I owned to the Republican Party but Michael Steele just talked me out of it too. I guess I'll have to give it to the Democrats. Oh well....
"I had my doubts about being a life long goper and now you may have talked me back into it again!"
For eight years these clowns thought they were hot shit on a silver platter when, in reality, they were nothing more than a cold turd on a paper plate.
When Beck said "It's not really easy to be, you know, the pariah in your office, to be the hatemonger racist that wants to steal, you know, starve everybody's children and just hates anybody who is different." he nailed the GOP platform.
First true thing I've ever heard him say.
he was speaking in the third person or whatever.
Just another GOP victim.
WAAA!
woodguy
That's the most honest thing the GOP ever said.
"We are liars", but vote for us anyway.
Of course, if that's a lie...then they're telling the truth, making them liars.
Beck: 'We suck and blow chunks.'
Hey La Rushitte, we've been saying that for years.
I didn't know the Democrats were pushing for the Fairness Doctrine. Also I learned from Lars Larson yesterday on Tweety or Shuster that Obama is working on taking my gun away from me. And yours and your and yours.
the Fairness Doctrine are Rush, and Fox News. A couple low-rung D's have mulled it over, but usually in response to a question about something Rush or Hannity said...
It's hilarious because by talking about it so much, some D's are clearly starting to think to themselves, "you know, bringing back the Fairness doctrine might not be a half bad idea. I mean, if Fox News hates it so much, it must be political gold!!"
"Obama is working on taking my gun away from me. And yours and your and yours."
As long as they don't take my guitars.................

Question: If we have no reason to trust you Mr. Steel, doesn't that mean that we shouldn't listen to anything you say? Doesn't that mean that the American people should find their own way out of this mess without the GOP? Hmmmm...
What's socialism got to do with the Fairness Doctrine? The State is going to suck ideas out of Glenn Beck's head and distribute them to the masses?
Egads.
And, here we are: week three of Steele, and he's doing nothing more than making the rounds of news talkies again. Obama, on the other hand, is working to correct the fuckups of the Bush Administration.
Steele is here saying the RNC wasn't RIGHT enough, bowing and scraping before mental midgets like Glenn "Islacommusocifascigeddon" Beck.
Was it those dirty Ruskies with their military dictatorship that gave socialism a bad name?
If you want to be able to turn on your tap and drink safe clean water.
If you want to be able to have a PB&J sangwitch without checking your life insurance policy first.
If you want to know that your elderly mother won't freeze to death for missed a gas bill payment.
If you don't want to live as if your house is one big panic room.
To successfully live as a group involves a degree of socialism.
You have it now but are afraid to call it that.

Seriously.
The guy is deranged.
He always wanted to be a cowboy:

'we're f**ked
...head of this dying bunch of buffoons. But steele is the male equivalent. Dumber than shit, puts his foot in his mouth on a regular basis, and has absolutely NO credibility in the political arena.
What an idiot. Of course, when you sit and have a conversation with beck-aphobia and bor, what do you want? You really aren't looking for intelligent conversation anyway, right?
... in the past and I'm not about to start now. Steele is dumber than a rock pile.
I suspect the Republican Party will soon discover Steele's complete incompetence just as the residents of Maryland discovered it long ago.
I'm tempted to say "Good riddance!" but I suspect the Republican Party will send him packing back to Maryland politics within six months.
I can just imagine what the Republican elite were thinking at the time they selected Steele: "They got a Black man. Let's get one too."
His best before date is probably next summer.
Do you really think they would let him make any policy decisions?
Photo ops and to keep the seat warm.
Hope when his bowing out occurs it's for 'family time' and doesn't involve a small plane.
I'd like to see who was on the passenger manifest for that Buffalo crash.
NOW they notice! they are about a lifetime behind the rest of us.
steele just got appointed because.......he's BLACK! no other reason. none. now that he has a position locked down for at least the next 4 years, let the good times roll!
oh, and i LOVE IT that he mentions cantor. please parade that lying douchebag mama's boy out every day so we can get a good look at the 'leadership' of the republican party.
anybody got a spare BMG?
Like Glenn Beck and Michael Steele do not want to "suck and blow chunks" in other ways - like banging the drum for and spending money on the next war.
War good. American people bad.
ME: Ahh, I've ascended to the top of my party, holding a position of almost unimaginable power!
Aide: Mr. Harry, you've got to go on the Beck show.
ME: Good. I've wanted to tell that sanctimonious piece of shit off for some time.
Aide: You'll need to be nice to him Sir.
ME: WHAT?!?
Aide: A-actually you'll need to... kinda, you know, kiss his butt Sir.
ME: FUCK YOU! I quit. *SLAM*
It's Faux Nooze, right.
About halfway through that clip, why didn't the big hook come in from the side to get Steele safely into the wings so the handlers could pound the daylights out of him and get him back on script?
Oh Faux, you let me down. Again.
It be funny if they had to break for a commercial from Oreos.

Thanks! That was the best laugh I've had all day! LOL!

I'll second that comment.

Oooohhh, good one!
ever since nixon came up with the southern strategy, these idiots have been fooled
BECK: "It's not really easy to be, you know, the pariah in your office, to be the hatemonger racist that wants to steal, you know, starve everybody's children and just hates anybody who is different. We actually took a lot of crap for a long time, and then you guys betrayed us."
HA HA HA!!! Moderate, sane Republicans were appalled and left the party.
And of the ones who are left, and especially pertaining to the party leadership, did any of you/them ever denounce the language? Tell Rush, Savage, Coulter, Malkin et al to shut the fuck up?
*crickets chirping*
Save your fucking tears Beck, you brought it upon yourselves.
Sure we're fucked up and dysfunctional, but we're honest about it! What did you expect from someone whose last name sounds like Steal--the wisdom of Solomon?

Well, I sure can appreciate the honesty, Mr. Steele.
But really, what then makes you relevant?
If you're proud of not being trusted...
... Then wear that with the pride it bestows.
R E M E M B E R:
This man is saying to NOT trust the GOP!
.
Starve the WAR Beast...
... Save the World.
Wow, this clip right here should be played on every commercial of every Congressional race come 2010! "Even new RNC Chairman Michael Steele says you shouldn't trust Republicans, so who can you trust?" Haha, I absolutely love it!
Well, he is absolutely right, I don't trust them. This kind of honesty is a breath of fresh air from a guy that will probably be the star of the GOP's 2009 Magic Negro Christmas card. Michael, why do you hang out with these guys?
Micheal Steele/Sarah Palin - separated at birth! The 2010 rethuglican dream team. How can I send them money?

as w said, it's hard work.

what is worse, ignorance or indifference?
I don't know and I don't care!
At this stage in life, I don't need a Michael Steele to inform me he and most of his party are untrustworthy. Bush have been telling us that for 8 years.
And Cheney has been telling us he is untrustworthy since he worked in the Nixon White House.
Apologizing and owning up for not being trustworthy because they can't be trusted to be amoral and untrustworthy. An admission that they consider virtue to be a flaw.
