Quote:Fla. Senator Mel Martinez to Chair RNCWASHINGTON -- Florida Sen. Mel Martinez, a prominent Hispanic who previously served in President Bush's Cabinet, will assume the high-profile post of Republican National Committee general chairman, GOP officials said Monday.
Martinez, 60, will remain in the Senate when he takes the reins of the RNC in January, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting a formal announcement. The first-term senator will be the face of the party, focusing on fundraising, outreach and travel to promote the GOP agenda.
Yes, the
same moronic Senator who
introduced and
supported amnesty for illegal aliens is now in charge of the RNC. Good choice, idiots.
I swear, it's like the Republicans are saying,
"Gee, the Democrats moved left, so I guess we need to do it to!"I'm losing hope by the hour that this can be corrected, short of the democrats completely screwing up and imploding in the next 24 months. We had a few years of the scales tipping back ever so slightly to the right and now it looks like the Republicans are doing everything they can to help slam them back to the left. If the GOP is just going to be "Diet Democrat" then I'll find and become active in a third party that represents
my values.
I knew the "message" that many voters wanted to send wouldn't get through. Stupid voters, stupid politicians.
This brings up the ultimate question: How do we get somebody from the Republican Liberty Caucus into the GOP presidential primary in 2008?
At this rate, I think 2008 will very possibly go down in American history as the year of the viable third-party candidate.
