It doesn't take any real insight to realize that the Right is reeling and looking for direction, but they don't agree w/ certain directions that Obama is going. That's basic democracy last time I checked. Finally, it's interesting how conservative minorities in power so consistently get brutally attacked from the left.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-70637619500652729792009-05-04T11:25:00.000-05:002009-05-04T11:25:00.000-05:00You have the wrong guy.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't for one second consider that two (or more) people may wish to post anonymously and that your comments about racial epithets and assasinations were not meant to take away from the original comment by attacking it's source. Although I must say it smacks of the "cheap tricks" you accuse Sykes, Belling, et al. of engaging in with their callers who disagree with them. <br /><br />And before you write it, yes, it would be nice if people would identify themselves when they comment but some of us enjoy our anonymity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-77670370344624800322009-05-04T10:09:00.000-05:002009-05-04T10:09:00.000-05:00I assume, Mike, that you wrote a similar blog abou...I assume, Mike, that you wrote a similar blog about the demise of the Democrat party when they were in the minority in this country at all levels and were losing more at mid-term? <br /><br />Isn't it about time for a blog about how much you hate James T.

I don't play that with Obama (although right-wingers pretend that Obama supporters claim racism at every criticism, I've never heard it -- just like no one has ever called him Messiah). Steele rises and (mostly) falls on his own merits. Of course, I didn't use the words clown or buffoon -- his shtick is a little too subdued for that -- but even if I did, he's not immune to it. <br /><br />The whole preceding comment is ludicrous, but at least Anony has held back from calling Obama the N-word again and calling for his assasination, as he has in several previous comments that I declined to publish.Mike Plaistedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184502941014520240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-30938398380959431922009-05-03T09:10:00.000-05:002009-05-03T09:10:00.000-05:00Mike Plaisted of all people riffing on the "educat...Mike Plaisted of all people riffing on the "educated black man as buffoon" stereotype. An African-american rises to a historic position of power within his party and Mike can't hold back from stereotyping him as a clown. What kind of prime time show should Mr. Steele have Mike? Perhaps a minstrel show? Despicable. You should be ashamed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-85631314123397028722009-05-01T20:37:00.000-05:002009-05-01T20:37:00.000-05:00Oh, and the teleprompter talking point is brillian...Oh, and the teleprompter talking point is brilliant as well. He has been talking extemporaneously at press conferences, town halls, etc. -- more than he has been reading prepared speeches from the prompter. You know what would have happened if Bush ever got off the teleprompter? The Secret Service was ordered to wrestle him to the ground. Talk about an idiot.<br /><br />And, again, is the airplane and the teleprompter all you got? Sheesh. Good luck with that. In the meantime, we'll keep trying to solve the many problems left to him by Junior Bush. Just stand on the sidelines and squawk.

The GOP is so nuts, he doesn't want to by judged by them in a closed primary. So, why stick with the sinking ship? I don't blame him.<br /><br />Biden makes a couple of harmless gaffes. Steele loses a easy seat in New York State, helps lose Specter, sparks an internal war at the RNC and reacts to the loss of Specter by missing the point completely and running further nut-right. And he does it with a vacant gleam in his eye. Joe Biden has a long career of fighting for the common man. Steele has nothing but electoral losses and rampant ambition.<br /><br />As for the fly-over -- please. Is that all you guys have left? Pathetic. Obama had nothing to do with it. Did he even get around to appointing anyone in the White House Military Office or were they holdovers? Since when do you guys beat up people in the military? Don't you love America?Mike Plaistedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184502941014520240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-58536840922842821122009-05-01T15:54:00.000-05:002009-05-01T15:54:00.000-05:00First of all, let's admit that Specter's defection...First of all, let's admit that Specter's defection has nothing to do with ideas or principles, but rather to do with political opportunism; he fears that a conservative candidate will beat him in the next primary. Only the support of Bush and the RNC helped him to victory last time. <br /><br />You also comment: "Not since, well, Junior Bush has anyone so clearly out of his depth been thrust into a national leadership position." Perhaps you should stop listening to Steele and pay attention to Biden. Without a doubt, nobody is more stupid than Joe Biden. A close second would be Obama without a teleprompter.<br /><br />By the way, which cowboy ordered Air Force One to buzz New York?patricknoreply@blogger.com
