For those occasional lib/Dems who read the blog--and who are no doubt breathlessly waiting for me to either 1) ignore the RNC sex club story or 2) try to explain it away--I hate to disappoint you.
This story is terrible, the conduct reprehensible (not the going to a sex club part--that's a choice an individual is free to make. Using RNC money to do it--that's reprehensible), and the leadership of the RNC should take responsibility. I'm not saying "take responsibility" in a Japanese WWII way--but I do think Steele must go.
As one of the occassional ones, I want you to know that when I read the story this morning, I thought the same thing I often do when something like this STARTS to come to light. Let's find out EXACTLY what happened before passing judgement. And having Mr Steele as the leader of the Repsublican Party, I can only say thanks again for doing more to hurt your party than Clinton's.....not having sex with that woman...did to the Dems.
ReplyDeleteIt's all a part of the "Big Tent" strategy...I think.
ReplyDeleteI think it makes perfect sense. The RNC is merely trying to better understand, through a night in bondage, what the coming years will be like if they botch the next election.
ReplyDeleteHuh huh--he said "big tent"--huh huh.
ReplyDeleteTo be a horndog, pardonable. To be stupid, intolerable.
ReplyDeleteI agree Steele needs to go, but for other reasons. I'm not sure I completely fault him for the handiwork of a knucklehead.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, donations are going to completely dry up if something big and dramatic doesn't happen like a loud and public firing. My 75 year old parents faithfully send the RNC sixty bucks a month. (I don't know why the amount is 60, either). I'm thinking that won't be happening much longer, and I sincerely doubt they're the only ones withdrawing their support. The RNC needs small donors too.
