The new Michael Steele watch

It's a countdown until he resigns. His comments on abortion and gays is contrary to Republican doctrine. I look forward to watching this play out. Here's the quote:
On if women have the right to choose an abortion: "Yeah. I mean, again, I think that's an individual choice."

On whether homosexuality is a choice: "Oh, no. I don't think I've ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there's a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay.' It's like saying, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black.'"
What he said is very sensible. Which is why - to the Republicans - he must go.

  1. Or he could just change party lines! But I'm guessing you would have mentioned that if it was viable.

  2. He's a party chair, not an elected official. If he became a Democrat tomorrow it would make no difference.

    Nah, he is just toast. It's been fun watching but I think the Michael Steele sideshow is about to end.
