Just when I thought the Republican Party had come to their senses, it pulls the same old, lamebrain thinking that lost it the Congressional majority. Soon after the major “thumping,” a rumor spread that Michael Steele, an African-American lieutenant governor who lost a Senate race in Maryland, would be the new chairman of the Republican National Committee. Brilliant, I thought, finally the Republicans were getting back to its basics but noooooo. Next thing I know, Senator Martinez of Florida has accepted the post. Big mistake.
