Comments on: Republican National Committee elects first Black Chairman to lead the ‘Party of Lincoln!’ http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2009/02/02/republican-national-committee-elects-first-black-chairman-to-lead-the-party-of-lincoln/ The voice of Clarksville, Tennessee Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:33:04 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Fightingpreacher http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2009/02/02/republican-national-committee-elects-first-black-chairman-to-lead-the-party-of-lincoln/comment-page-1/#comment-10704 Fightingpreacher Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:06:36 +0000 http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/?p=15150#comment-10704 Totally disagree with both of you. Steele is a great conservative and has had issues with Bush over some of his "Moderate" decisions and leanings. Michael was very outspoken about these issues. As I watched election coverage I was struck by how much more conservative and qualified Steele was compared to McCain. Secondly, I have issues with the accusation that they are hopping on a fad. I think all Americans need to understand that this election of an African American was nowhere as historic as it should of been. The fact that everyone made such a huge issue about him being black shows us that we have a long way to go. It will be a historic day when no one cares if he is black! Then we will have true equality. Next, I will have to disagree with that the American people voted for change. Poll after Poll showed that the vast majority of people knew nothing about President Obama, but were feed up with President Bush. They didnt vote for President Obama because he was the right guy, they voted for him in protest to several republican issues that were never addressed. Lastly, people would not of voted for Obama if he had been white! President Obama was elevated to "messiah" status by the Media. His election had more to do with their bias then his electability. He has a horrible voting record, he is the least qualified person to ever run for President, he stands on the wrong side of issues that face most middle class Americans, promoted at one time partial birth abortion, abolishment of the 2nd Admendment, raising of taxes, and many other issues that clouded his character. People voted for him because the media with their hiden agenda told every one he is a God. In the NY TIMES they had an article with his picture and an arrow that said "OH MY GOD". In other places he was referenced as a savior, and still other places referenced as a reformer similiar to Jesus Christ. THE SAINT Totally disagree with both of you.

Instead of truly looking at their recent and past failures, the Republican Party took the trendy approach and selected a black man as its leader believing that change will come to their party and people will follow him because of his skin color. The past GOP chairman quit because he states that the winds have changed and a black chairman might help to resurrect the Republican Party. America, this is why the Republican Party is continuing to die a quick death. It always looks for the quick fix in every approach it takes whether by going to war in Iraq or this mess in choosing a black man to head its party, regardless of whether he is qualified or not. Republicans wake up! The American people have spoken and chose change, qualifications and honor over the usual suspects and the same way of doing business! If Obama would have been a white man with the same qualifications and speaking the same way about a plan for changing our nation, people would have still voted for him.
