I call your third party and raise you a fourth...

That's it.

He's gone.

Pardon me, but didn't Steele once compare stem cell research to the Holocaust? Taking his position on gays to it logical end, why does he oppose civil unions or gay marriage for that matter? When he was our Lt Governor, I thought he was a little looney. I had no idea he was batshit crazy. Thank you for listening.

..... did we stumble into an evil parallel universe? DID HE HAVE A GOATEE IN THAT INTERVIEW!?

Nothing sounds better than the truth when you know the jig is up and you have nothing left to lose.

The christonazis are sharting their undies as we speak.

icruise · 8 months ago

I'm sure we'll hear him saying that he misspoke within 24 hours, but I have to say this makes me feel a little better about him as a person.

BTC · 8 months ago

Oh, he's so fired.

tlsintx · 8 months ago

and once again, ladies and gentlemen, Limpballs takes the lead...

How soon before he has to grovel in front of the Great White Hopeless?

monopole · 8 months ago

Methinks he's decided to go out with a bang.

Joneses · 8 months ago

He flip flops. Maybe this is a way to get back at his party, because seriously, either he saw the light or he's just nuts.

moreleesafer · 8 months ago

I get the sense that he was an affirmative action hire. Completely unqualified yet they needed a Knee-gro in the top position to show they are not TOTAL bigots. What do you expect from people whose only exposure to "others" is watching reruns of "Good Times"?

You be da man, Michael Steele. You be da man!

"An individual choice"? Sort of reminds me of the longevity of an officer in WWI being the only one out of the trench in No-man's-land saying, "Follow me."

His RNC chair has the life expectancy of a mayfly.

He had to be doing this as a slap in the face to the rightwing nutjobs and fundamentalists who have taken over the party. If the republicans are ever to be relevant again, they'll need to cast off the Jesus Party moniker, of which abortion and stem cell research are just dog whistle code for ANTICHRIST. Steele is publicizing his 'moderate' bona fides. He'll be able to use those cards later when the inevitable Rushpublican implosion occurs.

Smart, ballsy, or just pissed off? Would like to see more of it from the other sheep in the republican flock.

Enjoy.

As Princess Sparkle Pony stated about Steele, "He is SO fired".

I think much of what Steele has said wouldn't be that bad, if he had some strong support, or perform some miracles like the Republicans winning one of the Houses of Congress in 2010. However he is babbling when the sharks are circling before this, and the doubt was already there about Steele. The Republicans want order and power. If Steele is alienating all Republican factions, or saying contradictory things, he is going to have to resign.

Must be the new face of the GOP. Too bad its shelf life is about 16 days.

fl79tr · 8 months ago

Yeah, so if the Repubs die the death of being only viable in a shrinking market in the south... What's next?

Coming Undone · 8 months ago

Michael will be spending more time with his family real soon.

missime · 8 months ago

I feel sorry for his family already.

JustAnOldLady · 8 months ago

Obviously, Steele is a closet Democrat.....

anastasjoy · 8 months ago

Toast.

There is a bipolar characteristic to Steele's statement about abortion. It's a great thing he wasn't aborted because finally someone in the GOP is voicing how they feel - meaning they don't know. It's like Earmarks. They hate earmarks but the budget is full with earmarks from republicans. They don't want sex education and they preach abstinence but the minors are having sex and making babies for grandma and granpa to raise I guess (case in point, Bristol Palin). Meghan is John McCain's daughter and she can't stand Ann Coulter (well! I'm with her on that, Meghan's my girl). Rush Limbaugh can't stand Steele and Steele can't stand Rush - Sorry Rush Limbaugh is the only person that can stand Rush Limbaugh. The Repubs want the stimulus money but they don't want (don't vote) for the stimulus. They want the Prez' signature and his handshakes and hugs but they criticize him negatively every time they get a chance. It's like their brains are totally messed up. Scrambled eggs sound more reasonable and more coherent han the republican brain. Can we get a complete and coherent thought from a Republican between now and 2010? I doubt it.

Josh · 8 months ago

Wow. That's huge. There's no way the GOP will keep him around after those comments. It's too bad actually. I think their best chance at being a serious party again is leaving behind the religious right and trying to make a new party based on libertarian beliefs.

I can't imagine what his mail will look like tomorrow.

Ruh roh...buh bye token black guy in GOP party chair

Apphouse50 · 8 months ago

There's a golden parachute about to be opened, I'm thinking. This guy WANTS to be fired.

tigergrrldc · 8 months ago

"My comments were taken out of context," in 5, 4, 3, ........

The GOP has been for individual liberty and freedom for qiute some time. Steele is just one of the first to realize Women and Homosexuals are indeed individuals.

toolhater · 8 months ago

for white men only

miss skeptic · 8 months ago

Maybe Steele feels that, since he is going to be fired anyway, he might as well go for broke and say what he really believes.

Missime, I liked your post. Here's another one: Gov. Stanford of South Carolina wants to refuse a large portion of the stimulus to his state, and SC has an unemployment rate above 10%, one of 4 states in the nation to be in double-digits. He claims it will hurt his state more in the long run if he accepts the money. Trouble is, people don't eat in the long run, they eat every day.

I am a supporter of Pro-choice and I believe by giving women the right to terminate an unwanted, unplanned, or physically hazardous pregnancy, we allow them the same rights as all other people in all other medical and social conditions. Forcing them to carry to full term jeopardizes their ability to have a healthy and fulfilling life.

Finally someone to say what theyre thinking I'm sick of everything being sugar coated or smoke screened. I don't think Steele meant to really draw a comparison between being a homosexual and being black it was probably the first thing to pop into his head, but its a true enough statement you cant help hwo you fall for. agree with his statement on abortion, i myself say I would never abort a child, but you never know till your in that situation. So therfore it should be our individuel chioce.
