RNC set to approve resolution rebranding the Democratic Party as ‘Democrat Socialist Party.’

Roger Simon reports this morning that the Republican National Committee will “approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the ‘Democrat Socialist Party‘” when they meet next week for a “special session.” When asked if the resolution would force embattled RNC chairman Michael Steele to use the label personally, an RNC member replied, “Who cares?” Steele wrote a memo last month in opposition to the resolution that he believed the label would “accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans.” Read the resolution here.
