Steele really needs to quit trying to walk this silly tightrope line. He is not impressing anyone.

The chairman of the Republican Party says the GOP is open to supporting pro-abortion rights candidates.
Appearing Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," the head of the Republican National Committee responded to a question from moderator David Gregeory about the viability of a GOP politician who isn't strictly anti-abortion.
"We've had wonderful pro, pro-choice candidates," Steele said. "[Former] Governor Christie Todd Whitman [of New Jersey], for example, was a very successful Republican governor. ...
"I look forward to working to build a strong pro-life coalition within the Democratic Party since that's -- this is the direction the president wants to go."

*slaps forehead*
Didn’t this idiot read about the latest Gallup poll regarding pro-life?
GOP no longer welcomes Steele (I wish)
sold down the river by another RINO
Maybe our only choice is a 3rd (conservative) party.
Well, Mr. Steele, Obama thinks you are a bro, so if you can do that in any meaningful way more power to that quest. You might point out that a bro in the womb is 7 times more likely to get offed than is a whitey, which is rather unfair. But why not go ahead and become a Democrat completely. It's not like we'd greatly miss you.
...anyone who’s been paying attention knows that the Republican party has been STUFFED with pro choicers for YEARS.
When are Steele going to stop apologizing for what Conservatives stand for????????????
I want to WIN the next election and support Steele.Big Tent is what’s needed.
Steele....your rust is showing
Puke, he welcomes folks that are openly against the parties platform. this joker has got to go. thats what we get when we promote a token answer to obama. Steele disgusts me, Pro baby murder is what he is. sick sick sick.
that is final straw, go get your donations someplace else mr GOP, you stink. baby killers should be put down, not welcomed. How do you expect to honor the inalienable Right to life by welcoming folks that do not give a rats behind about Life???? steele is a big mistake for leader. get it steele???? resign in disgrace you fool. no donations with this kind of crapola!!!!
HINO (Human In Name Only) the new name for subhumans that
feel the planned murder of the most helpless is okay.
We need at least $0.25 worth of difference between the Pub and the Rat to get anyone excited.
Hey Michael, didn;t you get the memo on that poll that shows more Americans are “pro-life”? We are NOT going to win 2010 with this imbecile in charge.
If abortion advocates are not allowed then the GOP will go nowhere. It would be stupid to not support Rudy for Gov of NY. After what I saw today at Notre Dame Catholics have completely abandoned the pro life stance and support Obama en masse. Keep the platform and don’t shut out people who may be anti tax just because they support abortion rights.
“Didn’t this idiot read about the latest Gallup poll regarding pro-life?”
I was polled for that poll. I guess it was worth 8 minutes of my Sunday afternoon to answer the phone call.
Yeah....how’s that workin’ for us?
He is a miserable failure as party leader and needs to be removed immediately.
We are a tad more irked by hypocrisy than the Rats are.
I don't know what office this guy thinks he was elected to-- my goodness he is guest-hosting radio shows, on TV constantly-- I hope he is actually hard-at-work rebuilding party infrastructure and closing the technology gap and that it only looks like he isn't doing anything but opening his big mouth constantly.
Yes- just what we need “pro-choice” moderates: Read RINOS like the sourpuss ladies from Maine. Enuf said.
Hussein and his fellow marxists are laughing at this imbecile.
