GOP Chair Michael Steele: 'Franken Stealing Coleman's Senate Seat'


GOP Chair Michael Steele: 'Franken Stealing Coleman's Senate Seat'
Conspiracy-theorist fund raising email alleges MN's 'Democrat' Senator-elect's apparent victory a 'tragic injustice', 'outrageous power grab'...


The "one and only true party of the people" hoping to "rebuild...from the grassroots up," according to an email (posted at end of article) from its new chairman Michael Steele, seems to be having trouble doing anything differently from the old GOP party. At least if the latest fund raising letter from Steele, charging "liberal Democrat comedian Al Franken" as "stealing Norm Coleman's U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota" is any indication.

On the same day that former Senator Coleman rested his so-far failed case in his election contest in St. Paul against apparent Senator-elect Al Franken, the new GOP chair sent a missive to supporters, begging for money, using the same old failed tactics of the RNC of old; namely, lying to supporters about facts, offering specious, unsupported allegations of Democrats "stealing" elections (despite all evidence to the contrary), making liberal use of the word "liberal", and referring to Democratic party members as "Democrat" party members...

8. Are Republicans trying to see how far out of the mainstream they can pigeonhole themselves
...so when they make even a slight comeback they can claim a phenomenal bounce back?

This is getting funnier by the minute - their leadership is daft.

10. Warning to the GOP (Grunting Old Piggies) RNC "Chairman"
Breathing in exhaust fumes, especially for extended periods, can be hazardous to your party's health.
