Georgia GOP leader backs African-American as national chair
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta isn’t Washington, so a head-count isn’t in the cards.
But there’s anecdotal evidence building that former Maryland lieutenant governor Michael Steele is making a strong case to become the first African-American chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Sue Everhart, chairman of the Georgia GOP, just called to say she would vote for Steele tomorrow.
She said she sent out several thousand e-mails to the state’s Republican activists. Three-quarters of the responses, she estimated, endorsed Steele. Many told her that under no circumstances should she vote to give Michael Duncan, the current RNC chairman, another term.
“I think Steele is a good man, and I’m going to have to vote for him,” Everhart said. She’ll be checking this post to gauge Republican reaction in Georgia, so post a comment if you’ve got an opionion.
Everhart assumes that Duncan, appointed by President Bush, knows her mind. “He was very cool to me this morning. But he’s never done anything for me,” Everhart said. Georgia’s two other voting members on the RNC, Alec Poitevint and Linda Herren, are keeping their decisions closer to the vest.
(Remember that episode from last month: Duncan was on the stage at Saxby Chambliss’ victory celebration, while Everhart was not.)
Also note that Randy Evans, legal counsel and confidant of former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich, has endorsed Steele.
This will be a tough vote. Those who finish third and below aren’t required to drop out, so the balloting goes on and on and on until a majority of the 160-odd members coalesce behind a single candidate.

I strongly support Micheal Steele for the post,not because he is African American,but because second to Gingrich he is the best man for the job.I have watched him for some time and have always been impressed.

“Second to Gingrich?” …fact is draft-dodger Gingrich, who divorced the math teacher, he knocked up to dodge Vietnam, after he got elected and she got cancer, is no man at all…and any “man” who thinks he is, isn’t either.
…and Steele’s not “Black,” he’s Roman Catholic like most of the traitors in Rome’s Fifth Column faction in America.
Why did you think in every non-Obama election only 9% of “African Americans” vote Republican…and, not coincidently, 9% of “African Americans” are Roman Catholic?
All Blacks know who ran the Slave Trade for two-thousand years…only scum with the “complexion connection,” like Michael Steele and his brother, want to live up in the Big House with their Massa.
The Dream of America is that there is no mo’ Massa: No King and no Pope…The People rule by the Creed and the Constitution.
Makes sense the GOP would try to put a faux-Black as their chair…every thing else about them is fake as well….but their treason, it’s real.

At least ONE GOP leader in Georgia listens to the grassroots. I will be shocked if the other two do because they are full fledged country club establishment types who got the GOP into minority status. I hope I am wrong.

@ Will-
What in the world are you talking about??? My wife’s Catholic, and she voted for Obama. Also, many of the Africans who participated in the slave trade sold people from rival tribes. There was no issue over “complexion”.

Hey, Michael Steele is the best candidate running. That is a solid pick for the GOP. For all the race baiting. The Democrats play plantation politics too. I know plenty of white so called liberals that are more racist than any conservative I have ever met. Watch Atlanta’s mayoral race this year. We will see how white Dems vote in a non partisan race. Norwood or Reed. I bet they forget that Norwood has been down at City Hall for 8 years with a record as thin as Kate Moss. They will vote race in that race! Go liberals!! Hypocrites.

“Complexion connection” = Black/African American, of whatever “shade.”
Blacks know Rome ran the slave trade, ergo 93% of American Blacks are not of the culture that ran the slave trade.
The “Wall Street of slavery” for two thousand years was Rome, Italy. Any can go to any decent public library’s African American Studies collection and view ancient woodblock prints of that city’s slave plaza (I’d wager it’s in a tour guidebook as well with photos of the enormous stone block upon which slaves were brought once a year for cememony and “blessings” of the pope) rung by dozens of slave brokerage firms profiting the “Black Aristocracy,” the Roman Catholic church’s families descended from caesars and popes who still run the Vatican for profit and power…with the help of their papal fraternity, the Knights of Malta, whose crimes against America and humanity are legion (they practiced slavery of Jews on the Mediterranean into the 1890’s, then were key to the rise of Hitler and the accomplishment of the Holocaust…and provided four of the first seven heads of our CIA to do Rome’s work around the world…including killing John Kennedy to keep us as military catspaw in Vietnam after NSAM263).
Roman Catholics are an enormous voting bloc in our country, and more importantly make up one-third of Congress - turning a “blind eye” to Rome’s openly published stratagem for taking over the U.S. by promoting illegal immigration (Viz. “National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry,” Doc. 199-7).
Including Biden on the ticket, a man who appears to prove one can be a “Roman Catholic” yet a true American, swung many Roman Catholics away from the Palin/McCain side which was by idealogy and genealogy Roman Catholic.
My “Saint of G-d” mother was raised Roman Catholic. The object is to grow away from their overt evil…pedophile priesthood, assassination as “Italian Solution,” et al, and become sovereign Americans ruled only by Truth and Justice, the government our true servant, instead of the vehicle by which Rome’s faction of traitors has restored “caesar” to oppress the People and profit evil…the Welfare Fascism Bailout for the rich on Wall Street, for instance.
To do that we must extirpate Rome’s “Anti-Christ” influence in Our Land, and recover the wealth and justice their Fifth Column faction has stolen from the People.
Bush’s grandfather was Hitler’s banker.
Bush’s father killed Kennedy and King.
Bush was cheated into office by only the Roman Catholics’ illegal votes on the Supreme Court.
Bush committed 9/11 to send us to false war.
The Bushes have been allowed to accomplish this evil because they have been fronting for Vatican-banker Rockefeller for five generations…who built Standard Oil (Roman Catholic Big Oil) on unredressed murder and arson.
Once rank-and-file Roman Catholics, en masse, wish to flee Babylon and its pedophile priesthood, and its pattern of treason and assassination against America and Our Leaders, Rome will fall in a day, as prophesied.
Had my mother lived to see the day, she too would have voted for Obama. She volunteered for Head Start the day the program was announced and is a credit to her pioneer ancestors (and a Roman Catholic uncle who, by John Paul Jones’ report of the battle, could be seen to have won the Revolutionary War by securing the victory over the Serapis), and true “E Pluribus Unum” America.
We must come together as One People, no longer “divided and conquered” by the evil interests, “an engine for enslaving mankind,” Our Founder himself identified as the Anti-Christ.
Think historically…that’s what America’s Whig Founders did. Whig means “anti-Roman Catholic.” Whigs belief holds that history unfolds as a result of the conflict between Rome…and everybody else. “Urbis et Orbis” is the motto of the City of Rome. They believe they “own the world” and multiple papal bulls make their insanity verifiable.
There is but One G-d: the same enshrined in America’s Creed by the Founders.
Each of us has the patriotic duty, by the Creed, to know It.
Maryland is corrupt and run by the Roman Catholics. It is not a coiincidence that John Wilkes Booth was a Maryland Roman Catholic fully supported by Mary Surrat, a former Roman Catholic nun, doing Rome’s will after Lincoln ordered Grant to let the Jeffersonian, Protestant, Jew-loving, anti-Roman Catholic South up so easily. He was killed six days after Appomattox by a cabal of Roman Catholics, and Surrat’s son found refuge with the papal guards in Italy after Roman Catholic priests secreted him out of the country.
“They” know what they’re doing…Americans should too.
Obama is but a start. Bush and Cheney and their Fifth Column of Anti-Christ traitors must hang and be fully expropriated.

“Duncan has never done anything for me”…
Sue is such a moron she doesn’t realize that the RNC came into GA and bailed her out during the Chambliss runoff because she was inept and borderline incompetent.
She may have some grassroots support but those who know how things work know that she is a weak Chairman and borderline incompetent.

hey Will Jones,
You know who REALLY started and ran the slave trade? AFRICANS YOU TWIT! Why do you think Africans were sold so openly throughout the world? Duhh! Because every African tribe was kidnapping people from other tribes and selling them for money.
Quit blaming Catholics and Whites for black people’s problems!

The Republican party harassed Lincoln the entire time he was in office because he was busy trying to free the slaves.
The Republican party was against the Voting Rights act and attacked President Eisenhower when he was in office.
The Republican party attacked Teddy Roosevelt for trust busting and improving labor conditions.
The Republican party has been, is, and always will be a party of lies, liars and lying liars.

Stay in school Josh. Keep trying to “learn something new every day.”
Try to get past your obvious learned racism if you ever want to consider yourself a man or a true American.
I wrote a less gentle and more detailed response to you about your “question.” If you really want to “grow your brain,” you can find it here.

Yes, Africans bought and sold slaves within their and alike tribes—it was in the form of indenture servants who after successfully working for whatever the debt they would be set free. However, the Europeans came and saw and the Africans tribes even offer their services to them. Thus the slave trade began with the Africans. The Europeans were suppose to follow the same rules (treating them right and eventually letting them free) but they got greedy and saw the profit thus deciding to bypass the rules and pilfer villages for the children and mother killing the father to destroy the family unit and values. Thanks.
Lincoln: Yes he was a Republican however he was not proposing to eliminate slavery however his preposition was that all states allow slavery or do not allow slavery. Thus the Confederate States elected to form their own party—the Civil War begins…..
Nixon: He was clever he began the Southern Strategy after the Voting Rights Act and whereas African Americans were part of the republican party but like the racist views they did not want us to be able to vote the white voters were led to the republican party through his strategy….
MLK: He was nonpartisan “Judge by the context of character not the color of ones skin”
Summary: I am an African American/Black woman. I have lived this existence of discrimination, inequality, lies, and discrepancies. I welcome a fresh new start to a new world and I voted for Pres. Obama/Biden.
GOP: Fool us once shame on you fool us over and over and over again same on all.
