Right On Republicans – An Update

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said yesterday that the “corner has been turned” for the GOP and that his party is in resurgence mode.

Naturally it was a right turn around the corner, and according to sources in the Republican leadership who demanded anonymity lest their neighbors find out, the plan is to continue to make right turns. Asked if this plan might not find them right back where they started, the sources said that was the idea.

That seemed to contradict Steele as quoted by Politico telling Republicans in Maryland that “The Republican Party is again going to emerge as the party of new ideas.” Asked to explain the apparent contradiction, sources pointed to the rest of the Steele quote as reported by Politico: “It will take some time, for sure, but it is beginning now.”

Asked how much time Steele might have had in mind, all three sources declined to answer, except to say that the core Republican leadership had a rendezvous with Destiny.

Destiny, reached at her usual DC street corner, cited client privilege and declined comment except to refer to Steele as quoted recently in The Huffington Post: “But a lot of people have passions and the beauty of the Republican Party is you get to express those passions in various ways.”

The quote was in response to an effort by some members of the Republican National Committee to label the Democrats as “the Democrat Socialist Party.” Debate among experts over whether that was the height of passion for a Republican was pretty evenly divided, with some blushing in agreement while others backed more traditional Republican passions, standing in tight circles to chant “Tax Cut!” at each other.

Even Destiny dodged the question, saying the most important thing was “no rough stuff.”

That seemed to echo remarks by Steele, who promised to take on President Obama “with dignity,” in contrast to what he called the “shabby and classless way” that Democrats and leftists disagreed with President Bush. Steele has praised the “Tea Bag” anti-tax protests that happened in several cities, saying “This change comes in a tea bag.”

Steele did not clarify whether it was a nickel bag or a dime bag that Republicans were using to foster their vision of change with dignity.

Still, change is clearly the watchword for Republicans. On Friday, the blog site of GOP.com cautioned us “5/15/09 Update: What you see here is a placeholder between what was and what is to come for GOP.com. Don't get too used to this page–the complete rebuild is around the corner. Soon we'll have a new look and a more enjoyable, modern, open and participatory way to share our ideals with the Country.”

It wasn’t clear whether the GOP blog site was referring to Steele’s corner or its own independent corner or Destiny’s corner. Questioned on the issue of a “complete rebuild,” Destiny said “Yeah, I tried that once, but it sags after a while, you know?”

It does indeed.

oh. they're back from 'democrat party' to 'democratic party'. let's wait and see how this plays with the party proles..

I don't understand wgy the GOP think socialism is bad. I don't support the Soviet styke communism, but I think Social Democracy in the styke of Swden it's good.

Get Real thinks that the Democrats should pass a resolution suggesting that the GOP changed their party's mascot from Elephant to Ostrich:

Security Socialism is Republicrat Socialism. It urges the government to get into everyone's lives, under the assumption that any American is guilty and dangerous, and pretends to protect our nation from attacks. It is like the plague pretending to be our friend and free us from disease.

Republicans support socialist spending as much as any Democrat does – look at their pork barrel spending projects, their legislative voting records showing clearly that they have supported the most socialist legislation in the entire country's history for decades, and they still pretend it is a Democrat initiative – why would anyone trust a bunch of pathological liars who can't even tell the truth about their own support for government intervention in the economy, pork barrell spending projects, and social legislation as well as their new socialist escapade – Security Socialism.
