Man Of Steele

Speaking of wingnut social conservatives (see below) some folks aren’t too happy about Michael Steele becoming the head of the RNC:

The Republican National Coalition for Life and the Rev. Donald Wildmon’s American Family Association both have came out against Mr. Steele because he and former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman were co-chairmen of the centrist Republican Leadership Council and because of his unclear comments about abortion on “Meet the Press.”

As Andrew Sullivan noted, these people have left a bad taste that will take a long time to get rid of. Or, as the Washington Times itself says:

Republicans who are questioning Mr. Steele’s credentials need to ask themselves why they find him so “threatening” and let his actual words speak for themselves.

The “Threat” is that the Republican leadership seems to be at least trying to move in a more moderate direction. But if they want to get cured of their fundamentalist fix, they need to go cold turkey. A stint in political rehab just isn’t enough.

I guess it’s par for the course, but the focus of that article was opposition to Mr. Steele on the basis of his non-membership in the RNC.  It was only the second page, near the end of the article that the AFA and RNCL were even mentioned.  If Mr. Steele doesn’t become chairman, it will be because of his non-membership in the RNC, not because of tenuous objections to his position on abortion.

Man, talk about cherry-picking.  You are way too obsessed with the “wingnuts"…

If it wasn’t for wingnuts, WVR would have nothing to post about.  He’s already got his head so far up Obama’s ass it’s impossible to tell where Obama ends and he begins.
