Many Republicans will be saying, It’s about time! What took ‘em so long?
As we have said before - this is not your father’s Democratic Party. The word Democrat no longer seems to be appropriate. They really should change the name of the party to the National Socialist Party.
The “he’ll pay my mortgage and buy my gas” crowd won’t care what the party is called. In fact they won’t even know what the word Socialist means.
RNC Chairman Michael Steele (pictured) wrote a memo last month opposing the resolution.
Steele said that while he believes Democrats “are indeed marching America toward European-style socialism,” he also said in a (rare) flash of insight that officially referring to them as the Democrat Socialist Party “will accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans.
When the writer of the article, linked to below, asked if such a resolution would force RNC Chairman Michael Steele to use that label when talking about Democrats in all his speeches and press releases, the RNC member replied: “Who cares?” That pretty much sums up the attitude some members of the RNC have toward their chairman these days.
The Republicans really need to get a leader they can rally behind before the 2010 elections.
Steele is probably right, however, no matter how the Democrats mischaracterize Republicans, the media will pick up on it quickly and firmly. As far as Republicans trying to label Democrats as Socialists, the media will either ignore the attempt or glorify the brand.
It won’t be that difficult for the media to convince most Americans under the age of 40 that Socialism is the neatest thing since sliced bread.
