GOP to Launch "Fire Pelosi" Bus Tour
GOP.com
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele tried to energize his party today with the announcement that the RNC is sponsoring a "Fire Pelosi" bus tour this fall.
Steele appeared at the RNC convention in Kansas City, Missouri with a red "Fire Pelosi" cap on, the Associated Press reports. "Get on the bus!" he yelled on stage, next to a cardboard bus that read, "Need a job? Fire Pelosi."
Republicans are expected to win back a number of House seats this November, but it remains to be seen whether they are capable of tacking back the majority -- especially when Democrats hold a financial advantage.
"We can't rest now," Steele told the committee, AP reports. "Everything we've been doing, and all that we must do, needs to be ramped up and maxed out in the next three months."
He added, "Sleep? What's that? We can't sleep until November 3rd."
At the convention, the RNC finalized its plans to hold the 2012 GOP convention in Tampa, Florida, and it set the presidential primary calendar to begin in February 2012.
Steele urged the party to remain united and avoid distractions, though he did not mention the distractions he has caused for the party, the New York Times reports. Last month, Steele created a controversy by calling the Afghanistan war a "war of Obama's choosing."
"We all know that our journey to this point has not been easy and that the road ahead will surely test us - test our resolve, test our ability to remain united," Steele said today.

There has been zero net job creation since December 1999. No previous decade going back to the 1940s had job growth of less than 20 percent. Economic output rose at its slowest rate of any decade since the 1930s as well.
Middle-income households made less in 2008, when adjusted for inflation, than they did in 1999 -- and the number is sure to have declined further during a difficult 2009. The Aughts were the first decade of falling median incomes since figures were first compiled in the 1960s.
And the net worth of American households -- the value of their houses, retirement funds and other assets minus debts -- has also declined when adjusted for inflation, compared with sharp gains in every previous decade since data were initially collected in the 1950s.
What are you going to do to create job growth? Are you going to bring manufacturing back to the USA? WHAT if anything are you going to do?
What surprise. Sure lot of people don't like Pelosi. A Lot of people don't like ____________(fill in name of any COngress Person).
