WASHINGTON — As Republicans in the Senate gear up fo
r a potentially nasty nomination fight over President Obama's pick to be Labor Secretary Tom Perez, former RNC chair Michael Steele is standing up for him and calling on the Senate to confirm him."I don't agree with the idea of blocking him, number one," Steele told BuzzFeed. "I've known Tom Perez a long time. He's a solid man, good family man. He's a dedicated public servant and there are so few of those these dayss."While Steele said he and Perez "disagree on some issues philosophically," he called on his fellow Republicans to confirm him. "Tom is a very passionate guy like I am. He believes in the idea of public service and the president recognizes that and has said he's going to be a strong voice for the workers of this country as he was for the workers of Maryland as our labor secretary," he said. "I think a lot of people want you to put on that partisan hat and chew him a new one, but for what purpose? He's been good at his job and he's been faithful to the oath that he swore."
now they alrady fird him for doing a good job but now he is going against th grain of repblican obstruction to any nominee that Pres. pts up, wasting tax payer money on lenghty witch hunts and juvenile revenge, will Steele be that other one that bites the dust?
he said he like republicans believes in publican service he must mean that the right just dose it's dirt in view of the public because they do not support the public service.
look at the public servants they have fired to "shrink gov't, does that sound like a party that supports public service, sorry Michael "you lie".
Republican Senators like David Vitter and Jeff Sessions have pledged to battle Perez's nomination, picking up on conservative concerns about his time as head of the civil rights division for the Justice Dept. under Attorney General Eric Holder. Some progressive commentators have suggested a battle over Perez will hurt Republicans as they attempt to reach out to Latino voters after the drubbing the party took with the voting bloc in 2012.
the right wing obstruction to cabinet appointees is not just ton slap Pres. but these people stand and will deliver everything the republicans are against you know things that help the public like consumer reg, ERA just to name a couple they would be the wrench in the Koch gears no shortcuts or pollution, so that by it's self makes them in opposition of any cabinet member, they could not make him a one termer so now they go after his admin that my friends defaults to "we the people" being cheated out of what we pay taxes for, not rich loopholes and tax deductions.
