The RNC Debate: Too Hot For C-Span?
By Eric Kleefeld - January 7, 2009, 1:02PM


The candidates for Republican National Committee chair have been talking about how to effectively campaign in the era of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. But it looks like they're having problems with technology that first became widespread back when Eisenhower was president.

A C-Span staffer has informed us that the RNC voted to close today's meeting, which is being held as a forum for the leadership candidates, and eject the cameramen and press so it won't be carried on TV or elsewhere.

The Republican National Committee members obviously want to hear some Frank discussion of the issues and the state of their party -- so much that they don't want the public hearing what's said.

1. Inspired by Dick Cheney's secret national energy policy meeting with

with oil, mining etc. corporations.

I don't believe this meeting is in anyway a frank discussion of the issues and or the state of their party so much as formulating a new strategy to screw the American People.

2. No doubt, Uncle Joe, no doubt about it. nt
