A new voice for Republicans
The head of the Republican National Committee is a man with a black face and a heart that is less than human. He is a man that has sold his soul trying to be elected to a national office. He lost in the elections he ran in but he won the moderate white voters long before he ran for senator or governor of any state.
He took the message of Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. and tied it to the voice of Ward Connerly and helped turn well-meaning folks against affirmative action. King's "I have a Dream" speech was given to press the federal government into action that would force the South into integration and justice for millions of people of color denied access to schools and jobs just because of the color of their skin.
In his book, "The Content of Their Character," Michael Steele makes it look like Dr. King said no laws should ever be challenged in the United States; just let those in charge decide what is best. So he was awarded the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee and is the new mouthpiece of the party.
Because of people like him and Ward Connerly, the University of Michigan has 11 percent fewer minorities today, after affirmative action was outlawed in Michigan. We don't need this guy in any public position.
Obama's supporters have tried to make Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck the new voice of the Republican Party, but it did not work in Virginia and New Jersey. The Democrats put up poor gubernatorial candidates is what they are spinning now, but the governor of New Jersey was no newcomer. He had won tough fights before, but read the tea leaves wrong this time.
The dirty fighting that was historically what the people of New Jersey looked forward to is not the thing they want now in the Obama era. Obama has changed many things in ways never thought possible. Campaigning in New Jersey and many other places must change to meet the new standard set by Mr. Obama, the man who won against all odds.
David Plouffe, one of the Obama talking heads, said the Democrats lost Virginia and New Jersey while winning New York because the politics involved were local. But isn't all politics local? The Democrats must do a better job of explaining the programs they want and how they will help people. There is no clear message in saying the party wants to be inclusive and bipartisan when its goals are not clearly stated.
The Republican Party won in Virginia and New Jersey because it was clear about its position on the economy and health care. They want no new taxes and the poor to stay uninsured.

You are going to want to own it Eric, buy a used paperback copy off Amazon.
Your Lack of Consistency
ConPat:
There are two copies of this book at my local library and both are currently checked out. However, they are due back on 11/24/09 and 11/25/09 respectfully. Therefore, it looks as if I will be able to pick up a copy just in time for the long Thanksgiving Day weekend.

Eric, have the chance to pick up Atlas Shrugged yet?

I find it rather amazing how you so easily throw those that look like you, but with a different political philosophy, under the bus. You make it sound as if they are the "devil" and don't deserve to breathe the air that you breathe or walk the same streets that you do. While on the other hand, you never want to call out those that look like you and share your same warped political philosophy.
Rev, understand this! The Kwame Kilpatrick's, Coleman Young's, John Conyers', Jesse Jackson's, and Al Sharpton's of the world have done far more to ruin the lives of black folk than Michael Steele and Ward Connerly combined.
I get sick and tired of your rants about Republican's and Black Republican's in particular. The black men that you speak of are far less racist than you prove yourself to be.
Have you ever even voted for a Republican; black or white? (If Michael Steele were to appear on a ballot in an election that I could vote, I would happily cast a vote for him.) If not, you do nothing more than show your ignorance by blindly following a political party that continues to love you like dogs love fleas and respect you as much as an abusive husband respects the wife that he beats on daily.
You haven't a clue as to who Michael Steele is if you have only a book to site or reference his character. And to singularly blame Ward Connerly for the demise of the minority enrollment at the University of Michigan goes on to further prove just how ignorant you are.
By the way, you do understand that racism is a two-way street. You prove that by hating yourself so much that you hate those that look like you, but have a different viewpoint.
And you were allegedly called by God to serve his children. What a joke!
The Rev and his racism
I don't even bother reading the reverend'a trash posts anymore...
The ignorant racist ramblings of a small-minded angry man...
DetNews would do themselves a service by simply getting rid of him...
The Rev and his racism
Rev... it is YOU and RACIST ANIMALS LIKE YOU who stole MLK's legacy and twisted it to subvert black American's hard fought equality. MLK said ALL MEN SHOULD BE JUDGED ON THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER AND NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN, he DID NOT say that all men should be judged on the content of his character and not the color of his skin except for black people who whould be given benefits because of their skin color.
See the difference? You should be helping Ward Connerly, not fighting him.
