Race to lead GOP opens rifts

Ok, perhaps I have an odd sense of humor.... This article (by the Washington Post) is in the lead on MSN.com right now. Those of you that are republicans, well, I would recommend it, bearing in mind that the source is the WP and not on the GOP side. I am still laughing.

The RNC has torn itself apart fighting over the chairman spot. One guy being pushed is the former LT. Governator of MD-Steele. Some RNC membersthink that black folks will flock to the RNC if they appoint a black chairman. BTW: Steele is a dedicated anti-gunner.

Not as bad as osama.

I couldn't find the MSN.com article but read something about 6 people vying for the job on Yahoo. So far, this seems pretty mild. Falcon, do you know the 2nd amendment position of the other candidates? I would be curious to know what their positions are.

Steele on Gun Control

Then there is this little tidbit:

Quote:

Yet Steele betrayed a lack of full understanding when he next uttered these contradictory sentences:
[blockquote]"What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that."[/blockquote]
Ouch! That's a train wreck on many levels even besides that damned "need" canard... But this ignorance can be cured through simple education.
