Michael Steele (R-idiot) needs to GO

Everyone by now has heard the statement Steele made about the Afghan war. Let me say I don’t disagree with him for the most part.

I know people that will say “WHAT?” Let me explain.

Steele said “Afghanistan is a war of Obama’s choosing” and he’s absolutely right. Obama and the democrats made the Iraq war the bad war, and Afghanistan the good war. Democrats blocked every attempt to turn Iraq into a success story for GWB and they berated every General involved in Iraq. They beat the drums of surrender, and all of their top leaders were constantly calling for retreat. They said things like “This war is lost” or the ever popular “We are killing innocent people”

So the election cycle saw Iraq as a dividing factor and the democrats used it to its fullest. In 2006 the Dems took over both houses, in 2008 they took all three, USING the Iraq war as a backdrop for the Bush administrations failures. They did this while at the same time saying Afghanistan is where we need to be fighting. And that was basically true.

NOW, since the Iraq war was turned around prior to the Obama election, Democrats have tried to take credit for the success there, while prosecuting the “GOOD WAR” in Afghanistan. Obama sent additional troops there and now appointed the same General the Democrats berated to lead the way. Obama owns it, just like he owns the economy and the gulf oil spill.

Personally I don’t find anything wrong with what Steele said THIS time. Steele needs to go because he is not the man for the job. He was chosen (as I stated when he was placed in the position) because the Republicans needed to be able to say “We got one too”..That’s it. Deal with it.

The republicans were sent packing and instead of looking for the REAL reasons they lost power, they used the same excuse liberals use when we bash Obama. It’s his race. The reason Obama is in power had little to do with color, it had a lot to do with substance. the GOP turned Democrat lite and it drove independents away. But in typical GOP fashion they didn’t see it. They saw the issue as black and white.

Get rid of RINO’s like Steele, Graham, McCain, Snowe, and a host of others and the GOP may see power again. Until then they should be banished to the fields.
