Haha, this is all so ridiculous!

And judging from gop.com one could think that old, white men are an endangered species among Republicans ...

My favorite part of the new GOP site is the "Heroes" page. Aside from one senator from the 1960s and Jackie Robinson, who was not in fact a Republican, all of the African-American Republican heroes are all from the 19th century. That was back when the Republican party was the more socially liberal, abolitionist party, before the Civil Rights era when they started courting white Southern racists from the old Democratic party to form the Republican party we have today. So basically in order to show off how diverse they are they have to go back 140 years to when they were more like today's Democrats. It's sad.

I think Steele's Blog title should reflect modern Republicn governing strategy; it should be called "Change the Rules".

Other features include a celebrity gossip RSS Feed, called "Who's Jiggy Now?" and a message board for missing persons and lost pets, "Where my dogs at?".

Take a look at their "Sound Reasoning" blog on the right-hand pane of the home page. Two posts for two people are posted by "gop_admin". They haven't even figured out how to post to a blog yet, and the admin hasn't figured out how to post under another person's account.

As I said elsewhere, they can't run a web site but they want us to let them run the country? I don't think so.

OMG! The more I look at this site, the more I realize just what a train wreck it really is.

First, they have no detailed positions available on ANYTHING. It's total fluff. (I guess that Michael Steele is a total fluffer.) And the "What We Believe" section is barely fluff.

And I just looked at "Accomplishments". They list the Contract with America (they failed to achieve most of it), Afghanistan (a major failure), Iraq (near total failure to achieve the original goals and near total failure to achieve Bush's later benchmarks), and Bush's tax cuts (the engine for never-ending deficits).

OK, I'm convinced. I will never vote for any Republican again as long as I live.

Ugh! David Frum thinks the site is great!

I thought better of him, which is why I check out NewMajority, but man this post was clueless.

As a 27 year old black female, I find Michael Steele's antics offensive. He is a caricature of black culture, almost like a minstrel show. No professional, self respecting black person would bring rap lingo or slang into the professional realm and expect to be taken seriously. If he or any of his masters think this will lure minorities (or anyone for that matter) to the GOP, he's sorely mistaken.

Under the Our Heroes section, there are only 2 pages. Only 16 people! Ronald Reagan's picture is in black & white (I guess they are trying for a theme) and they completely skipped Teddy Roosevelt altogether! He isn't listed in the accomplishments, nor in Our Heroes. The very first sitting President to receive a Nobel Prize, not to mention what else he did...they just skipped right past him.

The website is a joke.

I can't wait till Anonymous & 4 Chan wakes up to all this.

I'd love to see Mr. Steele make the mistake of pissing THEM off.

The really ironic part is the leading Democrats, Obama and Hillary Clinton, use precise and appropriate diction; the Republicans feel obliged to use street colloquialism.

I am taking bets that Steele will be gone as GOP Chairdog right after the November elections...any takers?

If he thinks he has "street cred" he is sorely mistaken!

Nice try snoop dog!

Ha ha ha ha. We'll he's never learned that affecting that urban attitude (as marketing) shows him as hip as when Ted Danson spit rhymes on "Cheers."

Actually come to think of it, at least Ted was doing this 20 years ago before the novelty wore off... and I'm pretty sure he knew how silly it was at the time.

I have more street cred than this poser ever will, and I'm just a white kid from the 'burbs.

This vid summarizes how clueless this sort of "off the hook" (Steele's words) approach really is. In the words of Michelle Bachman, "You be da man!!!" Just stop.

PEACE!!!

Even his comment about "betas are about learning" shows their internet ineptitude. If this is a beta launch, you identify it as such on the site or, even better, you launch beta.gop.com and point people to it on your (old) homepage along with a note saying it's a work in progress. This wasn't a beta launch, this was inept.

As the streetwise Mr. Steele might say, I can "dig" that the site will never be complete, but it's SUPPOSED to be functional from the get-go... or maybe that's how the GOP planned to "Change the Game"!! Ah, I get it now!! Those sly dogs... ;)

Has anyone bothered to read the comments from the common folk throughout the site? I've seen a bunch of Ron Paul fans. People commenting on how unhappy they are with the party.

I've also noticed the appalling lack of simple grammar/spelling/proper sentence structure. It probably shouldn't irritate me. But, it does
