A Republican meltdown: Sensationalism; the Cheney, Limbaugh, Coulter, factor!

The selection of Michael Steele to head the Republican party was a stroke of genius; he is a good man and should have a positive impact on the party. The fact that the likes of David Duke are against the selection, speaks well for the appointment.

While selecting what appears to be a credible leader, a number of prominent Republican voices added to the disgrace the party suffered in the 2008 election. From Rush Limbaugh hoping that President Obama fails, to Ann Coulter who continue to make outlandish statement so that she can sell books and appear on television as often as she can, to former Vice President Cheney who says that the Obama Administration cannot keep a catastrophic terrorist attack from happening in the United.

Cheney’s statement demonstrate the character of a cunning, vindictive, and dangerous old man. Cheney realizes that if no attack takes place, his words would simply be forgotten, but if an attack does occur he would become the wise man with uncanny foresight.

Fot the Republican party to return to the graces of most of the American public, it would be wise to distance itself from the like of Limbaugh, Coulter, Cheney, and those others who sensationalize politics in order to get attention.

Steele could have been a good voice for the party, of special importance is his skin color, at a time when Republicans would like to shed off the label of elusiveness. But to the disappointment of many, after suggesting that Limbaugh is only and actor, not one speaking for the party, Steele stooped low and apologized to Limbaugh; what a gutless wonder, what another disgrace.
