Tomorrow Michael Steele goes 100% batshit dellusional; "Our comeback is well underway "
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/05/steele-to-decla.html

ABC News' Rick Klein and David Chalian report: RNC Chairman Michael Steele plans to tell GOP leaders tomorrow that the Republican Party has "turned the page" and is on its way to a comeback, asserting that he's done apologizing for Republican mistakes and stands ready to present the GOP as the party of new ideas.


Here are some great lines from the speech



"The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over. It is done."


"We have turned the page, we have turned the corner. No more looking in the rearview mirror. From this point forward, we will focus all of our energies on winning the future."


"We are going to take this president on with class, we are going to take this president on with dignity. This will be a very sharp and marked contrast to the shabby and classless way that the Democrats and the far left spoke of the last president."



"Our comeback is well underway out in the states, I can assure you of that," he plans to say. "The folks inside the Beltway don't know it yet, but the people are beginning to rally, the comeback has begun. Those of you who live outside of Washington know what I'm talking about. Those of you who actually attend Lincoln Day dinners, county party events, and tea parties…those of you who toil in the vineyards, spending time in communities, in diners, barber shops, and coffee shops where real every day people can be found…you know it is real."


Also at this week's meeting, state party chairman will vote on a proposed resolution aimed at labeling the Democratic Party a "socialist" party. Steele attempted to throw some cold water on that idea during his appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, but a resolution along those lines is expected to receive a vote Wednesday.




(I still think the guy is a die hard Democrat and this is all part of the greatest political prank in history, nobody could be this dense and still drive an automobile.)

"The folks inside the Beltway don't know it yet, but the people are beginning to rally, the comeback has begun."

Well, I'm in the upstate district that recently had the special election, and the people in the beltway were all about this being the Republican comeback seat, until you know, an unknown Democrat went ahead and won it.

5. So Steele's new plan is... the same as the old plan?

Steele:

"The folks inside the Beltway don't know it yet, but the people are beginning to rally, the comeback has begun. Those of you who live outside of Washington know what I'm talking about. Those of you who actually attend Lincoln Day dinners, county party events, and tea parties...those of you who toil in the vineyards, spending time in communities, in diners, barber shops, and coffee shops where real every day people can be found...you know it is real."

Flashback to October 22, 2008...

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin apologized yesterday for implying that some parts of the country are more American than others, even as similar comments by two Republican congressmen were causing a backlash that threatened their chances for reelection.

In an interview on CNN, Palin said comments she made last week in North Carolina praising small towns as "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation" were not intended to suggest that other parts of the country are less patriotic or less American.

20. A Republican fundraising event, usually held in February..
These are done at the State/Local level. Democrats, by comparison, have Jefferson-Jackson dinners...

9. Funny...
"We are going to take this president on with class, we are going to take this president on with dignity. "

Yeah right. I wonder how long that will last.

"This will be a very sharp and marked contrast to the shabby and classless way that the Democrats and the far left spoke of the last president."

Whoops. That was quick.

18. The question that is being debated is, Is Steele Ashton Kucher or Leon Trotsky


In other words is he doing it for a prank or is he trying to bring down the party.


This supplants the previous relevant question "is he bugs bunny or daffy duck?" meaning is he a mole (bugs) and doing it for laughs or just a little strange (daffy).


Current scholarship puts it at 65% Ashton 35% Leon.
