Okay, the GOP is getting more outlandish and pathetic by the day. They've got no ideas, no strategy and no future. The GOP truly is the "Party of NO."
Having failed at their own rebranding efforts, the latest new idea from the goposaurs is to rebrand the Democratic Party as the "Democrat Socialist Party." I kid you not. Roger Simon got the scoop:
A member of the Republican National Committee told me Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.”Yes, it will give us all the opportunity to mock and ridicule the Republicans. But, that's not a mischaracterization. That's reality.
When I asked if such a resolution would force RNC Chairman Michael Steele to use that label when talking about Democrats in all his speeches and press releases, the RNC member replied: “Who cares?”
Which pretty much sums up the attitude some members of the RNC have toward their chairman these days.
Steele wrote a memo last month opposing the resolution. Steele said that while he believes Democrats “are indeed marching America toward European-style socialism,” he also said in a (rare) flash of insight that officially referring to them as the Democrat Socialist Party “will accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans.”
