Affirmative Action Keeps Steele in GOP Top Spot
The Republican Party has officially denounced the notion of utilizing affirmative action in the business world, under the assumption that hiring should be based on merit, not the color of one’s skin. Ironically, the GOP is facing turmoil in the leadership ranks, because party elders elected a party chairman based on the candidate’s ethnic background. Now, they can’t fire the bumbling Michael S. Steele over fears that moderates, Democrats and the mainstream media will accuse the GOP of having “racist” motives.
According to Politico, “among top GOP operatives in Washington, there is overwhelming majority sentiment that the Republican National Committee blundered a year ago when it tapped Michael S. Steele as its chairman. There is equally strong sentiment among members of the RNC about what Republicans can do about it now: nothing.”
As a high-profile African-American politician, Steele gained strong status in the Republican Party that faces serious obstacles due to the party’s weakness among non-white voters. Hence, Steele was chosen as the RNC chairman to appeal to more African-American voters. Yet the decision had made Steele an ‘untouchable’ force within the Republican Party and he can’t be fired even though he has already earned notoriety as an “unfocused and gaffe-prone leader,” whose ethical behavior has been deemed questionable at best.

Thank you for helping the National Policy Institute become the largest and fastest growing advocacy group for America's historical majority.
Republicans and all rational peoples should object to racial/sex-based quotas simply because they are used largely as covert, back-door entry points for Marxists. Using race, ethnicity is just a ploy. Unions used the same ruse (being working class) to gain seats on corporate boards; once seated, they and fellow travelers slowly let loose the termites that destroy world-class companies — and all just to satisfy a socialist’s sociopathic tendencies that are both welcome and nurtured by the evil that is Marxism.
This article speaks volume about the cowardice and stupidity of the GOP. Their futile outreach to minorities is a much higher priority than loyalty to their White voter base. I hope they lose both.
