New RNC Chair, Michael Steele, claims to stand against obstructionists in his first speech then condones the stagnation of the Obama Stimulus bill in the House by Republicans, shortly thereafter.
This is shameless hypocrisy that reminds me of the previous tactics of Republicans that have done nothing but twist politics into a double-pretzel.
When interviewed about abortion and gay marriage, he explained that certain issues comprised his core beliefs and could not be compromised. In an earlier comment he expressed that he sought to avoid those who simply talked a lot and wanted no resolutions done.
Steele fails to understand that the Democratic Party is easily equal to the Republican Party in terms of members who do not back down on core ideals and core beliefs.
One such core belief is that legislation should pass without a partisan standard of approval in both the House and Senate.
It is obvious that it is nothing more than a partisan agenda of the Congressional Republicans to keep the Stimulus package under a Democratic President from passage due to the fact that the last Stimulus and the equally large Bailout under Republican President Bush received quick and bipartisan support, without any major concessions to the Democratic Party included therein.
The fact that not even one Republican voted for this bill, even after the requested tax cuts and concessions were included, proves beyond all anecdotal commentary on the exact specifics of the package that the opposition is simply against all policy with no need for explanation or discussion.
These actions prove that the current agenda within the RNC is simply to reject all policy proposed or supported by President Obama--in a dangerous game of raw politics.
It is the responsibility of Michael Steele to encourage the Congress to come to a constructive level of progress in this time of great economic instability.
I do not, thus far, share in any level of elation that some have expressed within the Democratic Party with this new chairmanship of the RNC.

There is no more time for these word games and the extremely familiar partisan-stalemating in America today.
The game-clock has run out and there is nothing but lasting damage done by such an obvious favoritism for Republican sponsored bills and immediate scorn associated to a Democratic sponsored bill.
To be fair, no Chair can be expected to be able to effect a great many votes in the Congress just after receiving the such a position.
I am simply stating that if the situation reversed, I would chastise the DNC Chair for taking such a narrow view of policy.

Steele was in a unique position to help put an end to Republican-obstructionism in modern-American government.
Instead he chose instead to be vague in his declaration against such a serious matter.
I would have hoped that the broad declarations against Americans and the vague comments eluding to items of a serious nature that often amount to slander would come to a close within the RNC and its members with the losses of 2008, but it appears that the tactics of distraction are not dying out as hoped.
Another unsettling element is that he speaks as if the Republican Party is not in great need of reconnecting its core foundations with its message and representatives after such a serious national defeat.
It is unfortunate that the need for keeping up appearances is keeping what I tend to believe to a genuine and honest man in his convictions from telling the simple truth that he has a lot work ahead of him if he wants to keep "conservatism" within the American dialect of politics in years to come.
I would like to attempt to dispel this term "common sense" from politics, that Steele is so found of.
"Basic knowledge" about civics gives a person both personal political perspective and helps with a debate on policy.
It is simply more of the same from the past eight, in what I see so far.

"Common sense" is to not running with scissors and taking good care of your health or things like not swearing in a church and being polite to others.
I see plenty of basic and advanced knowledge in the RNC but very little common sense. This has not changed in any fashion, in my view.
Lastly, the former-Congressman David Duke expressed that he saw Steele’s election as a "dark day" in Republican history.

I think that is simply absurd, and that Duke is a racist.

I find it difficult to find excitement and relief, at this time.
