Typical GOP blather, the logical end result of the folks who enabled the Bush White House, they of the "We create our own reality" mindset. Up is Down, 2 + 2 does not in fact equal 4 despite what you elitists think, etc. Blah blah blah. Does he really think anyone is taking him seriously?

I love how they want to take their message to "the streets."

Hey streets! We're the GOP! Y'know, the old white guys that want to deny you affordable health coverage so health care companies can make more money! Y'know...dude...like...the ones that tried to kill of SCHIP healthcare for kids. Y'now, like, whassup, the guys that lied us into two wars and then cut veteran's benefits. Like yo! GOP in the House! Know what I'm sayin'...GOP in the House I mean, like absofuckinglutely crazy Michelle Bachman is a GOP in da House! And Rep Steve King of Iowa who has voted against everything that could possibly help anyone that is actually in the streets and not in a limo. You dig?

"It's not even really a web site,"

I've failed to get in to it at least a dozen times this afternoon so no matter what your political stripe, I think this quote by Steele is something we can ALL agree on!

"It's not even really a web site."

Perfect. The GOP is not even really a party.

I got in but something is definitely wrong there. Looks like a mess. I also went to "What up? By Michael Steele is where you can find out what the Chairman thinks" and was really disappointed that it was an actual statement from the Chairman. I was expecting flying toasters.

Why do I get the distinct impression that the GOP that Steele is chairman of and the GOP that all the rest of the republicans belong to exist in two separate, never to join, universes?

"So we're working out a lot of the kinks and the bugs."

You're supposed to do that before the site goes live, Mr Chairman.

Jesus H. W. Christ on a conveyor belt.

Mr. Steele got confused...he is the new tool to communicate the Greedy Old Paranoids. Saying that it not even really a website is on target is appropriate since the Republican's aren't even really a party anymore.

looked at the page.

the first photo on the photo gallery is TED BUNDY!

WOO WEE!

Conspiracy theorist that I am:

First Michelle Bachmann is definitely ghetto!!!
She's got street cred.

But then there is the serious possiblity that, do the Repubs have Steele, NOT to show "We got a negro, too!", i.e, that there are negroes that like the Repubs. But, instead to show "See, all the blacks really are idiots!! Even ours!"
And so Steele's buffoonery is WHAT THE REPUBS WANT. He is making their point, that only white people can run the country, each time he demonstrates what an idiot he is. Just a theory, and of course, I hope I am wrong. But I do love having him on the opposite team. Steele\Bachmann (for the Repubs) in 2012!!

I think Michael Steel is the "tool" involved in this discussion.
He is so snoop-doggy fo schizzle!
Peace!

It's a party, yo, and M-dog has got tha fried chicken and potato salad.

GOP.com--it's fugazy, yo.

I loved this line:

"It’s where Republicans gather for more than fellowship … they gather for fellowship in the name of getting things done. "

Uh, Chairman Steele sir, I do fellowship to God in Church, are you saying this is more than that?!

I just took a look, and the banner on the site now says "beta." So there you go.

And let's give them a little bit of a break. The GOP is apparently so impoverished that building their website is a volunteer effort. Under "Code for America," they issued this stirring call to action:

Yes, we are serious (and, seriously geeky---so, we warned). GOP.com is officially recruiting volunteer coders to work with our API. If you write in PHP (the base code of Facebook), and develop applications that we approve of and use at GOP.com, you will be eligible to join the Founder's Club, the team that starts-up the first open API effort for any major political party. Members of the Founder's Club will enjoy direct access to the RNC's new media and technology teams, product previews and will also visit regularly with RNC Chairman, Michael Steele. For instructions on how to access our sandbox, please give us the information, below.

Design, Write, Strategize and Film for America Too!

If you are a graphic designer, SEO expert, AdWords guru, direct-response expert, filmmaker, iReporter or YouTube star, your creativity can help make the difference for America. Just like your coding colleagues, the work you provide, which the RNC accepts and publishes, will make you eligible to join the Founder's Club. Please tell us a little bit about yourselves and, we'll send you some information.

GOP.com: "I can't believe it's not a web site!"

OK, so can some of the more politically astute subscribers fill me in?
Why does the RNC keep Steele around since he is clearly such a blockhead?

Are they waiting for a high ranking Democrat to call him stupid so they can claim that Democrats hate black people, or is it their way to hold him up as the smartest black guy they could find, thus encouraging the racist base that "those people" really can't be trusted to do anything right?

I have yet to see the advantage of either strategy.

This is MSteele's site, as at the bottom, it "states" that it is not "authorized" by any candidate or candidates committee, so now we can read all Steele, everyday.

Minus the picture, what is the only other item that pops out on the cover page: DONATE...well, at least it is blatant...don't bother to read, just donate!

In April of 2009, I accepted Chairman Steele’s offer to join the staff of the Republican National Committee.

These chuckleheads (for all you Jay & Silent Bob fans) are so web illiterate, they need somebody else to post for them. And the admin is so illiterate, he/she hasn't figured out that you can post for other people without using your own account.

They can't run a freaking web site, but they want to run the country? HAH!
