He is virulent Pro Life and you will see this in the days to come. But yes, he hedges there.
You are either for or against abortion in your heart. Steele is against it. The text you copied is as it is. It’s that of a Pro Life candidate attempting to dodge being nailed down on the issue to stay viable in the Great Socialist State of Maryland.
Do I think a little less of him for doing that? Yes. That is one of several issues I would not personally hedge on. But, I’m not looking to marry the guy, just lead the Party.
I have my own concerns with him, but that is not one of them. I’m concerned about his “reaching out” strategy. If it means agreeing getting our policies out to minorities and women...no problem.
However, if it means, selling out on illegal immigration, affirmative action, minority entitlements to bring in minorities...I’ll no longer be a Republican.
“He is virulent Pro Life and you will see this in the days to come. But yes, he hedges there.”
No. You said of Mr. Steele, “no hedging on that issue.”
And now you say, “he hedges there.” Which is it? No hedging or hedging?
And if he hedges, it's tough to say that he's virulently pro-life. In fact, hedging would seem to be behavior that contradicts virulence on a particular issue. It's sort of the exact opposite.
“You are either for or against abortion in your heart.”
Sorry, but I hear that sort of baloney from Democrats all day long. Living in Maryland, I can't count the number of times that my friends have told me that this Democrat or that Democrat politician is “against abortion in his heart.” Yet they help to perpetuate the Culture of Death.
By endorsing the acceptance of Roe, Mr. Steele perpetuates the Culture of Death.
“It’s that of a Pro Life candidate attempting to dodge being nailed down on the issue to stay viable in the Great Socialist State of Maryland.”
Doesn't sound very virulent to me. Sounds like hedging. You know - the thing you said Mr. Steele didn't do concerning the issue of life.
“Do I think a little less of him for doing that? Yes. That is one of several issues I would not personally hedge on. But, I’m not looking to marry the guy, just lead the Party.”
Well, that's the thing. I don't think that the leader of the party should hedge on the issue of the right to life. In fact, from my perspective, it makes the Republican Party the second party of choice on abortion.
But I wished to merely point out that his words are not those of one who is “virulently pro-life ...no hedging on that issue.”
As for me, until he repudiates his remarks, I mark him down as not being pro-life or pro-abortion. Just pro-Steele.
