Former RNC Chair Michael Steele: If GOP Gets More Power They'll ‘White It Up as Much as Possible'
Yes, Michael Steele was chairman of the RNC a decade ago, but in recent years he has become a political analyst for MSNBC, advertising spokesman for the infamous Lincoln Project, and endorsed Joe Biden for president. He hasn’t been anywhere near the Republican Party for a long time.
[CNS] Former RNC Chair Michael Steele said Thursday that if Republicans gain power in Congress they’ll "white it up as much as possible," adding that they have no governing ideas except for stopping everything that President Joe Biden tries to do.

During MSNBC’s "The ReidOut," host Joy Reid told The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson that Democrats are afraid that Republicans could pick up more seats in Congress through gerrymandering, and Robinson pointed out that historically, the other party gains seats in Congress in the first mid-term election after the new president is elected.

#3 ...adding that they have no governing ideas except for stopping everything that President Joe Biden tries to do.

Let's take a Rantburg poll - how many of you (besides me) think that stopping Biden the next few years is by itself a sufficiently good governing ideal(l)?

#5 GOP needs to clean its own house first, and getting rid of slime and scum such as Lizzy Chaney, Mittens Romney, and Lisa Murkowski would be a decent start.

#6 If Biden or whoever is pulling his strings isn't stopped, this country's economy and finances will be ruined.

Remember: they're into magical numbers now: $6 TRILLION for pork, bullshit and outright graft. 30% of our entire economic output. Pissed away. They're just laughing at us now -- "rubbing our noses in it," as Stephen Green says

The only way these monstrous idiots can even try to pay back the absurd debts he's incurring is by turning this country into a left-wing socialist state with marginal tax rates in the 70% range as we saw in the 1970s.

If this left-wing hard takeover isn't halted in its tracks, there won't be a chance of reforming the GOP.

#8 Biden is just the figurehead - it's the people behind him who are doing this. The ValJar's, the Brennan's, the Pelosi's, etc... If Biden keeled over tomorrow it would not make any difference Kamala will replace him as figurehead and appoint another figurehead VP, and so on...

#9  GOP needs to clean its own house first,

Let not the perfect be the enemy of the good. Both at the same time. Replace the worst of the Republicans in the primary, but regardless which Republican wins in the primary, replacing Democrats with even very imperfect Republicans gets us majority control. It is majority control that allows us to prevent the worst of the Democrat excesses — Presidents Biden/Harris can write executive orders for the rest, but EOs only hold until a Republican is in the White House.

I’m for stopping everything the Biden administration wants to do as an acceptable first step, too.

#10 Considering that idiot was little more than a Lincoln log, demoncrat lover, it makes sense he only would want the old Bush socialist lite Republican party back.

Eat a bag of dicks, fucktard. You are part of the problem that needs to be removed.

#11 Steele is a token, and is now trying to make up for being so ashamed that he danaced like a good little monkey to the Organ Grinder swamp creatures.

The guy is a waste of oxygen.

#12 Do Swamp Creatures really have that good camouflage or are they more like Pod People who are good one day then get corrupted into something else?

#13 Steele was made RNC Chair when Obama became President because the RNC was afraid they were looking too white from top to bottom. But Steele took that opportunity to go left with the RNC so the voters chose Donald Trump because he was not a politician. Steele is not and never was from the right.
