The latest Republican disaster: Affirmative action

See President Obama? Hes black. Well, half anyway. In '08, Mr Obama got 97% of the black vote. An otherwise unheard of number in terms of voting. So what did Republicans think the best route to undertake to combat this? Put minority's in the spotlight. They had Bobby Jindal, the son of two immigrants from India give the ever so important official Republican response to President Obamas first ever address to Congress. He tanked. And who could forget the hiring of Michael Steele to be the Republican Party national chairman, again, kind of a big deal.

Michael Steele is supposed to be a Republican, the party who was supposed to be a party that celebrated individualism not collectivism. But Michael Steele supports collectivism.

I support the current system and improvements to the current system, keeping in mind that while we have done very well in affirmative action at our universities across this country, I look at our boardrooms across the country, I look at NBC, CNBC, Fox, all these stations, all the corporate, corporate companies-and I don't see affirmative action necessarily being practiced there when I look at the management, when I look at the leadership, when I look at those who have a decision-making role.

What is Affirmative action? Collectivism.

Why was he hired? To appeal to black voters, to seem more "diverse" instead of standing by a message and the principals of liberty and limited government.

Why cant they fire an obviously embattled Steele? Because hes black.

Why wouldn't they just stand on the foundation of the Republican principals of liberty and limited government? Because they dont value those principals.

and the cycle continues....
