They elect a black RNC chairman, choose an ethnic Indian to deliver the TV rebuttal to Obama.

Do they REALLY think that just because they are suddenly putting forth spokesmen of color
that their empty message suddenly has validity.

GIMME A %&(&%$$=(//% BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama isn't connecting because his dad was African. He's connecting because he's articulate,
intelligent, a gifted orator who thinks that he can get his message across without talking
down to people, and not whitewashing a bad situation that people already know is bad. He's
likable, has good people instincts, and does his homework. If he was green and red striped
with two large antennae coming out of his head, his rhetoric would still connect (kids and
punks might pay more attention to the screen, but that would be about the only visual advantage).

I find it incredibly insulting that the Republicans think that just because they suddenly
put forth their own spokesmen of color that their empty negativism magically gains validity.
Do they think they can fool people who are losing houses and jobs that it's gonna be alright
just because some non-white Republican tells them so?

If they think they can get away with this, I have some 2010 early returns for them: No You Can't.
