Today, GOProud, the only national organization of gay conservatives and their allies, called on Michael Steele to resign as Chairman of the Republican National Committee after he made comments critical of the U.S. war in Afghanistan.
Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of the Board:
"Michael Steele's comments regarding the war in Afghanistan are inexcusable. These comments are not just another gaffe that can be explained away, they represent a fundamental failure to understand the importance of winning the war on global extremism.
"Chairman Steele shouldn't need to be reminded that the war in Afghanistan was not a ‘war of Obama's choosing.' The Chairman of the RNC shouldn't need to be reminded that it was terrorists operating from bases in Afghanistan who started this war on September 11, 2001.
"Michael Steele is dead wrong; the war in Afghanistan is not lost. What is lost, however, is any shred of confidence that conservatives can have in his leadership at the RNC. This election cycle is simply too important to the future of the conservative movement and to the future of this country to be trusted to someone like Michael Steele."
Do they want RINO billionaire Meg Whitman in that position, to help ensure a Whitman/Romney~2012 ticket.... OR would they want Governor Saran Palin there, to keep her too busy to run for president????
OR....... are they seriously in favor of the War in Afghanistan?
>>>> "Kathryn Jean Lopez at NRO has weighed in:
Hire Palin
This is so transparent. Mittens wants her out of the picture for 2012. Bad." <<<<<
Just what I was suspecting, the Cheneys call for Steele to resign, then GOProud calls for Steele to resign, and now we have this amazingly surprising idea.....NOT
*ping*
If the gays are against Steele, he can’t be all bad!
Point one: This group is correct, it doesn’t matter what their sexual orientation is they have the same rights as we do and if they wish to tell Steele to step down they have the right to do so.
Point two: Gays can serve in the military, they simply have to keep their mouth shut about being queer.
Steele is an idiot was was totally wrong on his statements about Afghanistan. He should step down or be fired and it should happen soon.
I don’t think he should. And NO way will Palin take his place. She has bigger things to worry about.
