Here's the rub: I don't think Michael Steele even wants to change the GOP's stand on abortion. He specifically said: "Moderates in our party, and liberal elements outside it, have tried to steer this debate toward the suggestion that we need to change our core views, desert our convictions and give up our conservative philosophy. This is nonsense. The country did not become liberal on November 4th. In fact, just the reverse is true." Am wondering how many have actually read it.

He then goes on to cite American Survey polls showing 69% of Americans are conservative on fiscal issues, and 53% on social issues.

I couldn't read the link that you provided. But the general philosophy that Steele professes is similar from other articles.

Hmmm... I wonder how many others were unable to read it.

It's at www.rnc.org. Click the big, silver "My Plan" button.

I really liked what he wrote, and am saddened that fellow FReepers are jumping all over this guy before he's even had a chance. Might help if his comments about gays and pro-choicers were taken in the broader context of his plan, outlined at the above link.
