The Left's Incessant Obsession

Why is it that those on the left, amplified by the media, are so obsessed with who leads the Republican Party? Why do they constantly complain that there is no one leader speaking for the Republicans? With all that is going on in this country and around the world, why is this uppermost on their minds? Because if there were one, that would be all they would talk about.

Let's leave for a moment the fact that Michael Steele is the chairman of the National Republican Committee and therefore the leader of the Republican Party. While he may not be a contender for the presidency in 2012, he is the titular head of the GOP. But the left can't attack him, he's black. If they did attack him they would be racists too. Even though by law, the left cannot be racists. In any event, the left really don't believe that Michael Steele is actually in charge any more than Governor Paterson is of New York.

No, the left needs a bogeyman to divert the attention away from President Obama and his feckless administration. They desperately need someone to help shout down people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. They need another version of their creation, John McCain circa 2000. What they do not realize however, what they have never managed to comprehend or to penetrate their thick progressive skulls, is the fact that Glenn Beck, the Tea Party movement, and this summers' town hall participants, are not a product of the Republican Party. They are all grassroots, organic, and uncontrollable! And, believe me, if the Republican Party were in charge of any of this it wouldn't be as successful.
