Steele Admits RNC ‘Seniors’ Bill Of Rights’ Is Pure Politics, Dismisses Critics As ‘Washington Inside Poop’
Steele Admits RNC ‘Seniors’ Bill Of Rights’ Is Pure Politics, Dismisses Critics As ‘Washington Inside Poop’
Today on Laura Ingraham’s radio program, RNC Chairman Michael Steele responded to recent criticisms that he was rooting for America to lose its 2016 Olympics bid. Although both Steele and Ingraham had ferociously cheered for President Obama to fail in his bid to grant Chicago the Olympics, Steele scoffed at those critical of his cynicism as “so typical Washington inside poop.”
Ingraham then pressed Steele about a Politico report that GOP leaders had delivered him a “heated message” to stop meddling in Republican policy proposals:
INGRAHAM: GOP leaders to Steele: back off. GOP leaders in a private meeting last month delivered a blunt and at times heated message to the RNC Chairman Michael Steele and they said essentially quit meddling in policy. [...]
STEELE: No I’m not going rogue and that’s a factual inaccuracy, I did consult with Senator McConnell and Congressman Boehner [...] Again that is typical Washington stuff, trying to create a tempest in a teapot. [...] The one thing I’ve always stated from day one is I don’t do policy, I do politics. [...]
INGRAHAM: Were you told to stop meddling in policy?
STEELE: No I wasn’t told to stop meddling in politics. A certain one or two senators wanted to know what that was all about. [...] There’s some staffers who clearly have a bug up their you know what. That’s their problem.
Watch it:
In August, Steele released a “Seniors’ Health Care Bill of Rights” declaration stating that Medicare should not be “cut.” Given the fact that the Republican Party — and Steele himself — has long sought healthcare entitlement cuts, and often the outright elimination of Medicare, the move was seen as a transparent attempt to scare seniors from supporting healthcare reform. The move not only drew widespread media ridicule, but apparently an angry backlash from GOP leaders like Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. John Thune (R-SD), and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) for Steele’s role in crafting policy.
Sources say Steele initially defended his efforts to push a protection of Medicare, at one point telling fellow Republicans that his upbringing on the “streets” made him a fighter. However, Steele apparently backed down. By again admitting that he “doesn’t do policy,” only politics, Steele also concedes that his entire effort was a hollow attempt to confuse the public.
As Steele has said, there is “no reason, none, to trust our words or our actions at this point.”

‘Washington Inside Poop’
RNC Trolling Dept., open late.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:06 pmIt’s how he rolls, how he wears his hat, he is the chess master, planning his moves, exposing his opponents, keeping his friends close and enemies closer, a master of strategy, all James Bond like.

October 5th, 2009 at 7:11 pmMichael Steele is the least of the Republican Party’s problem. Their party as a whole have not one damn thing to offer this country that’s both positive and progressive.
I didn’t like Michael Steele much when he was an analyst during the election. Then I felt sort of bad for him when the far right fruitcakes starting going after him. But once he signed on to their way of doing things, I just dismissed him completely.
He’s just one more in a long line of empty suits in the GOP, whether it be the media or the politicians.
They’ve got nothin’, and are so desperate that they ridicule President Obama for wanting to bring the USA back towards respectability.
What a bunch of losers. Each and every one of them.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:18 pmMichael Steele….the gift that keeps giving. How long before he snaps and quits his job and becomes a Democrat…because that’s how he rolls now as opposed to then.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:19 pmThe poop is in your pants, Steele.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:23 pmTrust me when I say Steele’s days are numbered.
But the GOP will wait for a big news story until they quietly lead Steele away from the RNC.

October 5th, 2009 at 7:26 pmSteele is the right leader for the RNC, 00poop00. He has our voice down, in all its incoherence, perfectly. I take it you want my party to be run by someone with a clear message? Sorry, not for us.

I hope you’re right. If Steele is removed, Ken Blackwell is the most likely favored to replace him. And if that happens the 2012 election will be a cakewalk for the dems.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:29 pmINGRAHAM: Were you told to stop meddling in policy?
STEELE: No I wasn’t told to stop meddling in politics.
Not a very good listener, is he?
October 5th, 2009 at 7:29 pmAs Politico reported Monday, Republicans leaders took RNC chairman Michael Steele to the woodshed for his high profile role in the health care debate. Furious that Steele’s so-called “seniors’ bill of rights” committed the GOP to “no cuts to Medicare,” the Congressional Republicans told their chairman to “quit meddling in policy.” Of course, given the GOP’s 50-year war on Medicare, their fury should come as no surprise.
Beyond his almost daily, run of the mill buffoonery, the leading lights among the Capitol Hill Republicans were apparently livid over Steele’s foray in their turf when it comes to scaring the bejesus out of the 46 million American seniors served by Medicare. While Mitch McConnell and company want to terrify the elderly about mythical benefits cuts they falsely claim President Obama will produce, the GOP braintrust is even more terrified by Steele’s pledge in a Washington Post op-ed and August RNC ad calling for a “Seniors’ Bill of Rights”:
Of course, Politico’s description of the GOP as a “a party not known for its attachment to entitlements” is a comical understatement when its comes to the perpetual Republican war on Medicare.
For the details, see:
October 5th, 2009 at 7:39 pm“Republican Leaders Remind Steele GOP Hates Medicare.”
it’s a sad, sad day in republicantville when the chair of the RNC has to settle for a third rate talk show like laura ingrahams to get his message out.

It’s like our entire party earned a Masters in Leaping Logic, see?
October 5th, 2009 at 8:00 pmAnd what exactly are republicans supposed to be? Acceptable racists? Not many of the republicans make much of a stink when the racist card is used. Probably because it’s expected. In their party. And tolerated.
October 5th, 2009 at 8:01 pmRepiggies these days are either lunatics, morons or crooks, with any combination thereof.
Why would any intelligent person take those clowns seriously?
They want to be in charge of “stuff” but they don’t care to truly govern.
Frankly, I think that they have already given up on the idea of America and its future, and, like their corporate clients, are stealing the wealth of the average person as quickly as they can.
They are planning for the total collapse of this nation, and will continue to distract the morons while they indulge their dirty passion – screwing you out of any wealth and wherewithal that you still possess.
October 5th, 2009 at 8:01 pmaaronk seems confused. Repigies hate Black People and Minorities in general.

October 5th, 2009 at 8:03 pmThe Republican Party has way too many loose cannons on deck, and Steele happens to be one of them. The Party of Conservative Brilliance is getting a little nervous.

Steele’s appointment as RNC chairman was a cynical attempt by the Republicans to show they are not racists, just as the selection of Palin for VP nomination was a cynical attempt to show they are not sexists. It didn’t work.

October 5th, 2009 at 8:49 pmIf it were up to the Repugs, old people would be tossed into the street. Repugs DON’T believe in ‘Medicare’ or ‘Social Security’. To the Repugs those programs are ‘Socialism’ and therefore, they are ‘Big Government’. To the Repugs, we are disposable. I really believe that. They have no empathy. Remember Bush’s push to ‘Privatize’ S.S.? The old folks were pissed. And let’s say Bush was successful? Thanks to the econmic meltdown, those old folks would be broke. Ironic how MSM never mentions that, is it?

October 5th, 2009 at 8:58 pmWe’re the revenge party. It doesn’t matter if you feel like voting us in. Small towns across America wonder what they can do to lure millionaires to their area for economic relief, or some tricklin’ down. In all likelihood they’ll get nothing more than business for at the car wash. Big whoop. America does the Wal-Mart dance for millionaires and loves them some millionaires.
Forget your ballots, we already have all the money. We’ll tell you how to live, what your government can do for you, and which programs can work efficiently. I happen not to like Medicare and Food Stamps. Are they cheaper than wars? Yeah, so what? But I say f uck America. F uck American income equality, f uck American peace, f uck America hosting the Olypics. Turn your back on us and we’ll f uck America some more. Then once we retake power, we’ll tell you you’re anti-American just for uttering the word “c”. How do you like us now?

October 5th, 2009 at 9:12 pmMichael Steele doesn’t strike me as the best and brightest the country had to offer in a leadership position.
I may be a cynic, but that may be the very reason Steele was chosen as RNC chairman. It does fit the current Republican mindset.
The best and brightest is sitting in the Whitehouse!
October 5th, 2009 at 9:15 pmI wonder if the “heated message” included a burning cross…

Republicans are good at screwing up the economy, leaving a giant mess for demlibs to clean up.
Which policy did democrats implement in their initial two years in power–fraught with obstructionism and the wielding of a cowboy’s veto pen–that caused things to go “downhill ever since”?
Name the demlib policy, one tax raised during that time. Thanks.

Was it not Gerald Ford handing out “WIN” pins? Your take on history is that all began under Jimmy Carter. The oil shock under Carter was the second or third of the 1970s
Here’s some good advice for the both of us: Why can’t our party stop screwing national indicators so we don’t have to worry how fast a demlib cleans up our mess?
Statistics show republicans simply aren’t good stewards of the economy.

Just out of curiosity… is your hysterical claim based on that “handwritten confirmation” Ensign claims to have received from “Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold”???
Has anyone OTHER than Ensign actually SEEN this note?

October 5th, 2009 at 10:28 pmTypical rightwing dummy. He has no idea that the right is using him.
October 5th, 2009 at 10:29 pmSince you bring up Carter, you must know that the net job creation during his single term was 5 million jobs.
Bush saw 5 million jobs in two terms. As one can easily tell, that figure is even worse on its face when adjusted for population growth.
For all the GOP talk on being for “growth”, why does the demlib party typically far outperform the republicans on the economy? Not only does job growth have a better showing, indicators such as poverty improve as well.
Explain that for me.

When audits of Fannie Mae indicated giving home loans to those who can’t afford it as well as pushing banks to lower their loan requirements was found, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank blocked all recommendations to improve
They actually passed the bill you say that blocked once they regained power. They weren’t at liberty to stop or move anything along before then. Please note that the McCain camp was filled with Mae/Mac lobbyists and that the company didn’t get into the subprime business until late in the game. You should also note that that Nixon took the biggest step removing the bulk of their government sponsorship, in 1970, where they were spun off into private companies. The lobbying arm became more powerful than the remaining thin film of government sponsorship.
So the math would not confirm that typical GOP claim on the merits, meaning that Mae/Mac’s spiral into conservatorship was a symptom, not the cause, of the economic downturn. No doubt, however, than leadership at the top was corrupt.

Ooops, you will keep harping on your platitudes, but the simple fact is that your party’s proposals have not come full circle to deliver the economy promised.
Everything is linked to tax cuts, you say, yet after two major cuts passed in 2001 and 2003, growth was anemic and we’re now in the Great Recession.
Suddenly, however, you’re at liberty to boss the libs on managing the economy.

That sounds dirty.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:23 pmYou’ll have to explain what this “routine” is, aaronk.
Since joining this blog, you’ve shown yourself to be deeply dishonest poster.
A few examples: You claimed to be respectful by nature, yet you went after Ted Kennedy as viciously as you could not 24 hours after the man died. You claimed you didn’t defend Glenn Beck, and yet you repeatedly defend his statements about poisoning, choking or beating Democrats to death with a shovel. You claimed you were presenting ideas from a variety of sources about health care reform, when really the only source was charity-hating Richard E. Ralston. I said what you did was dishonest. You replied, “Fair enough.”
The aaronk you say you’re not claims to live in a blue state. Just as you do.
You talked about visiting a location within easy driving distance of the aaronk you say you’re not.
The aaronk you say you’re not claims to be a college student, while you claim you have 25 employees. Based on your posting (trolling) schedule, it’s far more likely that you’re the college student you say you’re not.
The aaronk you say you’re not believes some very strange, debunkable things. You believe Adolf Hitler was a leftist, which is equally strange and debunkable.
You’re the same aaronk.
You say I’m wrong? Prove it. Right here, right no. Go.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:26 pmTrollspotter, he certainly has enough time on his hands like a lazy, going to school on dad’s dime troll. How lonely he must be up in his dorm room!
October 5th, 2009 at 11:29 pmI can’t wait till the other aaron gets a new handle, because all trolls do, they are cowards.
I think Mikey Steele is starting to get pissed at being the leader of the racist party. ya know, because he is starting to remember he is black.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:34 pmI don’t doubt it. Loneliness is often a major factor in why a troll becomes a troll.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:35 pmTrollspotter, aaronkkk wouldn’t last very long in our squadron. We don’t look kindly on “pilots” who wash out because of panic. Just ask that piss pants George W. Bush what we mean.

Arronk here has a point. Conservaties dont hate black people. They believe everyone should own one. Unfortunatly they found that they dont own Steele.
However he is one of the best spokesmen for the repug party.

October 6th, 2009 at 12:16 amYup, and dat’s how Mike rolls baby. The sock puppet RNC chairman has been put in check and put in his place by his two bosses: GOP leaders and El Rushbo.
October 6th, 2009 at 12:29 amLast sentence from the TPpost on Michael’s latest;
As Steele has said, there is “no reason, none, to trust our words or our actions at this point.”
Doesn’t Michael recognize that as a policy statement? When did he issue it; before or after being told to not meddle in policy? (Ah, pardon; it was originally posted on TP in February 2009, so before. Maybe.)
Anyway, that’s good. A truly tasteful political advertising campaign could be produced around the fact that the Republican Party policy is to do and say things that cannot be trusted by the American people. Lie, cheat, deceive, etc. I couldn’t have put it better myself, and it should be fed back to the Republipimps at every opportunity.
And I apologize for preaching at the choir…

Conservapedia, NYPost, Americans for Prosperity, etc. are the only permitted vocabulary building sources. If employee aaronk comes within a millimeter of an Oxford Dictionary, he will be fired.

psst, hey kid, yeah, you, aaronk. wanna nice scanned page from the Oxford English Dictionary? it’s better than that dumb old AFP PR vocabulary builder crap, it’s got (snurk snurk) real words, not ad cliches… hey, come on, it’s cheap, your bro’ Big Mike will let you charge it on the RNC card..

Steele comes up with the most fascinatingly creative ways to embarrass himself. Not through sex scandals, or racism, sexism, xenophobia or off-the-chart insanity, he’s somehow managing to do it through pure unadulterated ridiculous phrasing.
It’s really quite impressive.

Income inequality? You want some of that Kennedy, Reid,Pelosi or Edwards compound? Are you proposing a new wealth tax? Perhaps something like what Russia did in 1920?
More like what America did from 1944 through 1963.

aaronk says:
I realize it is your job to keep conservative viewpoints off of this board, no matter how unethical and dishonest the tactics are, but come one…
He must be doing a pretty good job, because I almost never hear a conservative viewpoint here. Extremist radical right-wing propagandists sure, but actual conservatives are few and far between these days. (hint: you’re the former)
October 6th, 2009 at 1:16 am#21 Trollspotter,
… Because it’s not (R)acism when aaronkkk does it, YES?
OR let me guess:
… You’re a (R)acist for calling aaronkkk out for it?

Did anyone else catch our “LIBRUL” MainStream Media telling us about the 61 Liberal ANTI-WAR Protesters arrested in front of the White House today?
I bet they were all the buzz over these video tapes, instead…

Dear Mr. Steele,
You can call it your policy to call your brand of politics whatever you want to…
… The Party players in Office just don’t want you in THEIR politics of policy making.
p.s.
Trust Americans,
When they say it ain’t cool to be hatin’ on the Nation…
… Then you know it ain’t cool

October 6th, 2009 at 4:42 amI have noticed that the non-wealthy Republicans are very willing to defend the right of the wealthy Republicans to screw over the rest of us while complaining that the goverment is doing what they call “redistribution”. Just like those that don’t have health insurance defend the right of the insurance companies to deny them coverage.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:18 amSources say Steele initially defended his efforts to push a protection of Medicare, at one point telling fellow Republicans that his upbringing on the “streets” made him a fighter. However, Steele apparently backed down.
Is this republican rope-a-dope, or a republican dope on the ropes?
October 6th, 2009 at 8:40 amif poor, dumb as dirt, “republicans” detest the president so so much then why don’t they join the fight thier glorious dumbass bush started.
by all means, go. go fight the “good” fight in afghanistan and/or iraq. go make that place “better”. do something positive.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:45 amAh, the communist/fascist decades. It’s a good thing the right-wing took over and ended all of that. Now look how wonderful everything is.
October 6th, 2009 at 10:59 amaaronk is arguing that the aaronk who went on an unhinged racist rant when Barack Obama became President is not actually him. He alleges it’s a case of mistaken identity.
Here is further proof that our aaronk troll is the same violent, racist wingnut.
In his attempts to convince us that he is a reasonable person and not a far right whack job, our aaronk has repeatedly made a point of insisting that he disagrees with conservatives on the issue of gay marriage:
Wouldn’t you know it? The openly racist aaronk (who our aaronk claims he’s not) also breaks from conservatives on this particular issue.
Because both aaronks believe in civil unions. Here’s the openly racist aaronk:
And here is our aaronk, trying to “compromise” with a proponent of gay marriage, X4Progress. Instead of gay marriage, he offers a civil union.
Now here’s the openly racist aaronk, agreeing with another poster that government should “get out of the marriage business altogether.”
And here’s our aaronk:
Look familiar? That’s no coincidence. It’s the same wingnut.
October 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am@ 114. Trollspotter, I looked at the comment the not-aaronk aaronk left at citydata right after the election and it sure does look like the aaronk aaronk. I concur in your assessment. He’s young, so there may be hope, but it’s difficult to stop being a bigot; you have to start seeing people as individuals, see people in their own persona, rather than projecting your own preconceptions and stereotypes. It isn’t easy to break out of that, especially if you’ve been trained in bigotry since childhood and if most of your friends were trained the same way it becomes really reinforcing. On top of that, he’s probably been in yet another environment where he’s been trained to conceal that bigotry, to be a hypocrit, a liar about it in public, because it’s not the done thing.
But nonetheless, a bigoted and perhaps racist troll be he.
October 6th, 2009 at 12:16 pmVirtual Pebble, I like your optimism. Maybe there’s a chance for the aaronks of the world to shed their bigotry and duplicity and rehabilitate themselves. Maybe at some future date. I’d like to think it’s possible, but judging by his past comments I fear it’s not too bloody likely.
October 6th, 2009 at 12:33 pmHi Trollspotter –
I think you forget to mention that aaronk is a pussy and a welcher too!
But then, it’s so nice of you to let me say it each time! :)
Go Sharks!
October 6th, 2009 at 6:07 pmThank you for your sharing.!
