TW: Have avoided posting too much about Michael Steele since his Rush face off because I thought things might blow over but not now. Chairmen of the RNC cannot make such heretical (for Republicans, I mean he is right but that is not the point) comments and expect to keep his job.
He is in over his head. A shame for the Republicans as they could certainly use some fresh blood and ideas. Maybe they will surprise by saying it is a big tent with broad views but somehow I doubt it.
From Taegen Goddard:
"In an interview with GQ, RNC Chairman Michael Steele made some statements that will likely be controversial with many of his Republican constituents.
On if women have the right to choose an abortion: "Yeah. I mean, again, I think that's an individual choice."
On whether homosexuality is a choice: "Oh, no. I don't think I've ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there's a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay.' It's like saying, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black."
