Saul Anuzis, the former chairman of the Michigan GOP who unsuccessfully ran for RNC chair in 2009, has decided to challenge Michael Steele for the post once again.
While trying to maintain a respectful tone toward Steele, Anuzis was sure to highlight many of the problems that have plagued the RNC with Steele at the helm.
“Chairman Steele’s record speaks for itself,” Anuzis wrote. “He has his way of doing things. I have mine.”
He went on to sat that to win in 2012, the RNC needs solid fundraising and a chairman who “steps out of the limelight and allows our elected officials and presidential candidates to be the face, voice, and agenda setter for Republicans.”
Anuzis said he would not “strive to be the voice or the face of our party” and vowed to “run a tight ship and be a conscientious steward of our donor’s money.”
In 2009, Anuzis was a distant third in voting, behind Michael Steele and Katon Dawson, before withdrawing from the race.

No Anuzis.

I loathe Steele, the GOP's magic house negro, who tries "keepin' it real" for conservatives with rapper ads and web pages appealing to minority youth, while flinging the race card at all comers. However, if Anuzis is a Rove and GOP establishment pick, we will easily go from bad to worse. In addition, Anuzis is a Michigan Muslim. Haven't you all had enough AA Republican picks, folks? Have you abased yourselves enough, apologized enough for the sin of not being "people of color?" Tribalism + democracy + stupidity = racist idiocracy.

Umm...what are you talking about?
Saul Anuzis is a Roman Catholic and the son of Lithuanian immigrants.
If your knowledge of geography is on par with your knowledge of politics, let me help. Look at a map of Europe....find Poland. Look north and a bit east.

Holy crap, could you be any more stupid?

Sheila, Dear, Honey, Darling. it is best to have your brain in gear before your mouth is 'engaged'. Doing research BEFORE you post another idiotic , not true message, will do wonders for your blogging challenges.

Would it be too prosaic to look at what happened electorally to the party each guy ran?

As someone who knows Anužis personally, coming from the same Lithuanian community in NY... he is not a muslim, nor an "establishment" republican (an illogical assumption since Steele was the one who got the job). As with anything else, take the ring out of the nose and do your own research.
Sean| 11.12.10 @ 1:36PM
Anuzis attacked the most conservative candidate in the Republican presidential primary. That to me is a sure sign of being "establishment."

Please provide details, evidence, and documentation...

He wanted to ban Ron Paul from the Republican debates. That was a very establishment move.

The guy was a Romney supporter. Do I really need to say more? Do we really want a guy that would support a liberal like Romney as the RNC chair when we need to repeal Obamacare?
Dan Fitzgerald| 11.12.10 @ 4:11PM
Yep. The GOP will never see another cent from me if Anunzis gets to be chair, after his attempt to keep Dr. Paul out of the debate. He clearly doesn't understand that the GOP is a) bottom-up, not to-down, b) the party of limited government, and c) dedicated to the Constitution, including amendment #1.

The GOP will never see a cent from me no matter who is chair. Send your donations directly to your favored candidate, not to the party, who will use it to fund RINOs.

Saul Anuzis tried to have Ron Paul banned from the debates and kicked out of the GOP in 2007. If this clown wins the GOP won't get another dime out of me.
