Greer backs Steele for RNC Chair

The statement from Jim Greer, the formerly prospective candidate for RNC chairman: "Michael has everything that the GOP desperately needs right now: the ability to communicate our message from a fresh point of view, an appreciation of how we can use technology to build the party, and the ability to reach out to new voters," noted Greer.  "Democrats are not the only people calling for change.  These are our priorities in Florida and they must also be our priorities on a national level."

Michael Steele's statement: "I am grateful for Chairman Greer’s support," said Steele.  "As the GOP Chairman in one of the largest states in the nation, Chairman Greer’s support is critical to our campaign and takes it to a whole new level. He has been recognized as one of the most dynamic and successful state party chairs in the country and I look forward to working with him closely."

Strike 1 against Steele

good pick

I liked Steele until now.

This is great, I look forward to thanking Greer at this weekend's meeting

This is the sort of leadership we need at the RNC, in spite of whatever my thoughts of Greer are.

Reports from Washington are that Greer is making a complete fool of himself in meeting after meeting.

Wow, Greer, way to go out on a limb here. Let's wait until the last minute, gauge whomever everyone else is going to vote for, THEN endorse!

Sound like anyone familiar?

The public be damned if we keep electing mediocrity to public office and the chairmanship of political parties.

I love Michael Steele! But Greer backing Michael Steele is the equivalent of someone like Nancy Pelosi endorsing Duncan Hunter. If this is what Greer actually stood for himself, the same principles as Steele, it might actually mean something. But anyone who knows Greer knows this was done for political correctness, not because he believes he's the best or because he endorses his beliefs. Yet again more pandering from the RPOF kind of like our latest judicial appointment from Chuck.

This is a great endorsement

Why don't yall e-mail Greer himself and tell him what a schmuck he is?

Audit, audit, audit.

I like this a lot

Leaders stands when they are needed.

Greer just stood

Steele - what a misnomer for a Republican. Blago's already in jail. Won't one of you GOPers grow a backbone and do something about your boy Sansom?

Hey Adam, who is Michael Steele?

Excellent pick. Well done Chairman Greer.

Great job Greer! We love Michael Steele. He is great on Fox News.

HE LOST IN PENNSYLVANIA, DIDNT HE?

excellent choice!!

4:14 -

He lost the Senate bid in Maryland. Lynn Swann ran for Governor of Pennsylvania.

I suppose to you lefties, though, they all look alike...

Great choice.

Michael Steele is an ideas kind of guy, like Gingrich.

Greer, on the other hand, is a jerkwad...

PANDER PANDER PANDER WE NEVER LEARN!!!!

Lets pick a token black guy and we sure will get that black vote(NOT)

I'm over it!!!!!

Soon to be not a GOP activist anymore

Heck-whats the point!

Bye Bye GOP and Hello another ind.

Steele ain't a token player. Got it goofball? Stop acting stupid!

Looks like the repugs are searching for... What do repugs call African American men in politics??? Wait, it is on the tip of my tounge.... Oh, yes - "Magic Negro".

How sad... You morons.

Too bad Steele doesn't know what the RNC thinks of Greer. This did not help Steele.

[No on GREER]

If Greer is backing Steele I will back Blackwell.

Greer has picked a communicator to lead our national party. He understands what is need to create a party base that will bring about national victory, congrats Mr. Chairman!

4:58, you know the person who erred at 4:14 could actually be among the "they," right?

"What do repugs call African American men in politics??? Wait, it is on the tip of my tounge.... Oh, yes - "Magic Negro"."

No, it's what the Los Angeles Times calls them. Look it up.

Actually it was liberal LA Times columnist Ehrenstien who called The One that term.

The spoof you refer to was written from the perspective of Al Sharpton who derided The One and questioned his blackness.

But if you listened to the song, you'd know that. Instead, like a troll, you simply repeat what you hear in a knee jerk fashion.

Dope.

We will over come some day

Poor white guy
