RNC Chair Steele Tries to Take Credit for 2010 Tea Party Success

-By Warner Todd Huston

If nothing else has proven that Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele is not in tune with the GOP today, his recent statements on the Tea Party movement should serve as exhibit number one.

Showing that he has no clue the effect that the Tea Party movement had on the 2010 elections, in a five-page memo to committee members last week, Steele said that the GOP saved the day by stopping Tea Partiers from going third party in 2010.

Daily Caller excerpted Steele’s comments on Nov. 20. “The RNC,” Steele told the members, “welcomed the energy and limited government principles of Tea Party voters and grassroots conservatives, and worked hard to ensure that their views found expression within the Republican party, and not in a potentially ruinous third-party movement.”

New GOP Video Ad: ‘Your Turn’

The RNC has a new video ad…

WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced a new web video reminding voters what is at stake on November 2nd. The video, titled “Your Turn,” can be viewed on YouTube.

“As next Tuesday’s elections fast approach, there is little doubt that our country is at crossroads. President Obama and Congressional Democrats have spent the past two years imposing their will on the American people, despite their overwhelming objections. After racking up mountains of crippling debt, ramming through job killing government takeovers, and doubling down on the same failed economic policies, the Democrat agenda has left America on the brink of becoming a second class nation. With our future uncertain, the American people can no longer be ignored. It is critical that we all do our part to turn out the vote on November 2nd in order to restore fiscally responsible, Republican leadership to the halls of government.” – RNC Chairman Michael Steele

Those (Liberal) Voices Don’t Speak For The Rest of Us

The Republican Study Committee has unveiled a great ad contrasting what Republicans believe and what Democrats believe. Juxtaposing one of Reagan’s great speeches with the words of the Democrats of today, the ad shows how Republicans venerate freedom while Democrats venerate their own power and an ability to command and control all of us. As Reagan said, “Those Voices Don’t Speak For The Rest of Us.”

The Reagan part was pulled from his “A Time For Choosing” Speech from 1964. View the speech HERE.

The only problem as I see it with this video is that the viewer has to know all these people. They have to know who the Democrats are that appear in the video and that they are all from today. This ad is good for those informed enough but not good for those who are clueless as to who the Dems presented are. Still. It’s a good, powerful ad for those that are informed on who is who in Washington today.

It reminds me of my own video. I called it “They Tell Us What They Are.”


Are Democrats running Away From Obama During This Election?

Sure seems like it. The RNC thought it would capitalize on this fact and throw in a pretty funny tip-o-the-hat to the JetBlue flight attendant that has been in the news of late…

From the RNC:

WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced a new web video today that puts a spotlight on Democrat candidates who are going out of their way to run away from President Obama and his unpopular policies. The video, entitled “Crazy,” can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCG1PD4cirE.

“With unemployment hovering around double-digits and a majority of Americans unhappy with the direction of the country, it is not a surprise endangered Democrats do not want President Obama to come to their districts and remind voters of their failed economic policies. Democrat candidates continue to work overtime to distance themselves from the Obama agenda but there is nothing they can do to hide from the spending, tax hikes and government takeovers that have stood in the way of economic recovery. So long as the President continues to ask Democrats to ignore the concerns of voters and help ram through his liberal agenda, he can expect the campaign trail to be quite a lonely place.”


Lefty Conspiracy of the Day: *GASP* RNC Convention Logo Has Muslim Minaret in it!

-By Warner Todd Huston

The extremist, left-wing site Talking Points Memo (better known as TPM) thought it had a zinger of a story about the “RNC’s 2012 convention logo.” The logo, TPM crows, seems to have *GASP* a Muslim minaret in it. TPM even helpfully added a copy of the logo with a nice red arrow to the “minaret” image to help its readers determine which graphic element was the minaret (as seen to your right).

What is the subliminal message, TPM wonders? What nefarious motives could the GOP possibly have to include a Muslim icon in their logo? What is going on here TPM demands to know!

And don’t you know, this could be big news among the racists of the GOP who hate all Muslims and want them bombed out of existence, right? TPM dearly hopes that this minaret gaffe will blow up and cause a nuclear meltdown among the hatemongers of the GOP.
