1. Here comes Palin? Strange he's dropping out. Everything he's hinted at suggests otherwise. nt

2. I hate to say it and I don't want to sound racist but let's face it he got the

job because Obama won the Presidency. Now unfortunately Obama is becoming the lame duck so no need to show how all encompassing the GOP is.

[valerief]

6. That was my first thought, too. Now they can satisfy their party racists with a white person. nt

9. Successor

Not Palin---she won't give up a $14 million a year income for a real job and work. However, she does fit the criteria to be the ass-kisser-in-chief of the Repugnants. In a strange twist, I thought I'd never say this about her, she may be smarter than that.

21. Yep. He 'proved' to them that black folks just 'aren't up for the job'.

8. You don't sound racist, you're just pointing out Republican racism. -nt

[Javaman]

26. Oh I hope she is the chair!

[Demeter]

3. The GOP Fires Their Incompetents

another lesson the donkeys could learn, if they weren't donkeys.

[MineralMan]

4. Maybe the GOOPers can find someone even more stupid

to run things. I'm thinking Christine O'Donnell. How does that sound?

[tomm2thumbs]

10. twice as stupid, half as effective - sounds good

[Roy Rolling]

13. Thanks for the laugh

I needed that . . . :rofl:

[woodsprite]

15. Only if she could run the RNC from her house,

her mother could be treasurer. Heck, maybe they'd let her go to Bohemian Grove to have a sex picnic or worship on one of their altars!

Then she'd know she'd have hit the 'big time'.

5. The entertainment will be missed

[valerief]

7. I actually didn't hate Steele, even though he was GOP. nt

[Submariner]

12. Actually he was a Democratic Party plant...at least that's what he made me want to believe

[valerief]

19. Is that like Jews for Jesus? nt

11. Here's why the low life establishment Pukes hate him:

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Damn nt

[Kennah]

16. Shocked, Shocked I say, Shocked ...

... to learn the Republicans don't want the black guy.

[onehandle]

17. No shit. He was only there to be Black anyway. nt

[John Kerry VonErich]

18. Even more dangerous, Karl Rove as chairman.

[Ter]

25. That would never happen

The Tea Baggers would bolt.

[John Kerry VonErich]

27. Don't ever underestemate em

They were just mad at him for going against Christine O'Donnell

[Ter]

28. They are mad at him because he's a NWO neo-con who doesn't care about the deficit

Rove is a big government conservative, a total warmonger. Rand Paul despises him.

[John Kerry VonErich]

29. But still

Black magic does happen. He still has plenty of supporters.

[Gman]

20. He has no chance to win. That's usually when an incumbent decides

to spend more time with their family.
