Michael Steele Has Left The Building

Well, that's THAT!
Two years after taking over as Chairman of the RNC.
Two years after promising to bring more black voters to the "big tent" known as the Republican party.
Two years after promising to make the GOP "more hip" (his words, not mine), Michael Steele has left the building.
He dropped his bid for re-election yesterday, after realizing that he wasn't going to get re-elected as party chair.
You know what's funny?
They actually gave him a standing ovation after he made his announcement. But in typical Michael Steele fashion, he fell to understand that those people weren't cheering him because of what he had done for the party.
Nooooooooo
They were cheering because he was finally leaving!
Ever since the GOP realized that Michael Steele wasn't their Barack Obama.
Ever since they realized, he couldn't deliver black voters, they no longer felt he was important.
Everybody knew this, well, everybody except Michael Steele. Michael Steele was elected for one reason and one reason only, so the GOP could say;
 "Hey black folks, we like y'all too. Look, we have a Black Chairman."
Ladies and gentlemen, that's called being a token and in my opinion, that's exactly what Mr. Steele was. These people don't give two cents about him or people of color.
It has gotten so bad that other black Republicans like Anthony Miller of Arizona, has resigned from his post as the district chair, beccause Tea Party members in Arizona are making racial threats against him. The GOP has now become the party of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. And in there party, there's no place under the "big tent" for anyone who doesn't look like them. Hopefully now, Micahel Steele understands that.....but I doubt it!
