I think I'm disappointed.

"However, New Jersey committeeman David Norcross, one of the sponsors of the resolution, told CNN the language is being massaged so that Steele and others on the committee will be more receptive.

"The language is being changed so that the proposers and chairman Steele are on the same page," Norcross said.

He said that as of Tuesday afternoon, the chairman of the RNC Standing Committee on Resolutions had changed the language to "condemn the Democrats' march to socialism" instead of "talking about the 'Democrat Socialist' party."

The change was made, Norcross said, so that members "wouldn't have to fight about it, and I think everybody agreed."

Like someone else mentioned, I was kinda hoping they'd include 'Stalinist' in the new name.

That's too bad, it would have been hilarious. The sponsors of the regulation should have stayed true to their roots and not moderated on this issue.

It's disappointing.

Apparently they were also considering putting in "Nationalist". 'Nationalist Socialist' Great Stuff!

I'm getting behind Palin 2012 for even more Republican hilarity.
