I've had it.
When I heard that Michael Steele had been elected to head the Republican National Committee, I was quite pleased. I have liked what I have seen of Steele.
But recently with his ham handed approach with regard to Rush Limbaugh, his smiling and nodding when Republicans were compared to Nazis, and now claiming that women "absolutely" have the right to choose to kill their unborn children.
GQ: Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?
Steele: Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice.
GQ: You do?
Steele: Yeah. Absolutely.
This is it. Either Steele steps down or is ousted, or I find another political party with which to affiliate myself. All last election the Republicans were fielding anywhere from squishy pro-life candidates to honest to goodness pro-abortion candidates. They look on us social conservatives like a mentally slow cousin who's strong but dumb and who you're constantly calling to help plow the back forty or raise a barn, but you would never invite him to dinner.
Well, I'm done being the slow cousin for the Republican party, being sneered at by the likes of Parker, Noonan, and Dreher. Steele appears to be the latest, more interested in being accepted at the fashionable wine and brie parties and to heck with core conservative beliefs (if he ever had any, I'm still not sure).
So Steele goes, or I go.
