It should be up to the states as should most things.
A rino and a loon, both who have “creative financial” issues and both who would be ignored if not for the color of their skin.
This was a horrible and stupid gaffe by Steele. He shouldn’t have lowered himself to engage in this semantic idiocy.
It’s unfortunate that Keyes is trying to seize on the opportunity and becoming a tool for the Dems, as they split the Conservatives from the GOP. Great gameplan for the Horde of Moelek!
Keyes would more effectively spend his time debating liberals and people who actively seek to kill unborn children, rahter than Steele.
Course, IMHO, Keyes against anybody, Keyes wins. Keyes is a fair to middlin orator with the mind of a Founding Father.
What is particularly annoying to me is this isn’t even his job. He needs to raise money and rebuild party infrastructure. If he was just focusing on that, none of these retarded gaffes would be happening.
More details from the transcript on the news story posted here yesterday.
As far as I’m concerned, Steele is a loser. His flub over Limbaugh was bad enough, but this is beyond enough.
He has to go.
States Rights..
Keyes will be just flapping his lips. The GOP leadership knew what they were getting with Steele. If Keyes could validate his position by getting himself elected it would be more convincing but I fear the GOP is a lost cause now.
Really? Which other unalienable rights are you and Steele willing to "let states decide"?
What about ‘em?
I think he’s confusing two things, states rights and abortion rights.
Yes, as Fred Thompson said, we should repeal Roe v. Wade and return the argument to the states. Absolutely. And then we can proceed from there.
But it’s still not right to kill innocent people. Nobody has a “right” to an abortion. That sends a vile message. None of the states permitted abortion legally until shortly before Roe v. Wade, as a result of a well-organized liberal campaign by the Rockefellers and other liberals.
And the country did a hell of a lot better before all that happened, with fewer divorces, fewer broken families, fewer perverted kids, even aside from the question of whether it’s right to murder babies.
He just did.
How about we return to letting the states decide?? I thought we believed in a small Government??
He got his butt kicked and ran out of Illinois with a tail between his legs..
I may not agree with it, but this is a perfectly legitimate pro-life stance to push for simply a return to pre-Roe state rule on this matter.
Doesn’t mean I agree, but that is a pro-life position still.
Steele made a gaffe which he corrected, but Keyes is like listening to crashing pots and pans.
To think if only Keyes had won Illinois back in ‘04 where might we be now.
Whatever rights aren’t specifically innumerated in the declaration or constitution just like the founders wanted. RVW should be overturned.
At least he didn’t call for reparations like Keyes did.
