He also claims that gays have no choice but to be gay.
I don't think he's an idiot, and apart from his shaky deals with his sister, I think his main problem is that he's more of a conservative than the FAUX cons that run the GOP. The GOP really has no use for conservatives.
I'm not sure what steele is, other than a political opportunist. He flip flops more than John McCain or Mitt Romney.
First he said he supported choice for women. Then he backpedaled and said he supported a constitutional ban on abortion.
He said rush limbaugh was hateful, then he went on bended knee to apologize to fat ass.
I think steele is prone to sticking his foot in his mouth, and then flip flopping to please the right wing base and curry favor with them.
What you folks on the left don't understand is that many Repubs hold a much more nuanced position on abortion than the lefties do. What Steele said about abortion is consistent. He didn't say he favor a Constitutional ban, he said he favored overturning Roe. There is a difference. With Roe overturned, the question devolves to the states to choose whether the attitudes and morals of their states are consistent with offering abortion services and if so what the nature and character of those services will be. This is where Steele and many other Repubs feel the decision should be made. Instead of having 9 lawyers in Washington decide what's best for every community in the whole US.
That said, living close to Maryland, where Steele was Lt. Gov., I've had an opportunity to listen to him over the years. I've been underwhelmed by him. I wish him the best, but I've had questions about his adherence to Conservative principles through the years.
bullshit.
If you think allowing 200 mostly white, and mostly overweight men in a state legislature decide whether the women of a state have a right to choice, then you don't support women's choice at all
there's not a damn thing nuanced about it. You support a few hundred male state legislators making decisions for women about their own reproductive biology.
Should we put male reproductive biology to a vote in a state legislature?
