Stopping Michael Steele

By The Daily Dish
Dec 1 2008, 3:45 AM ET

The Christianists are concerned about Michael Steele heading up the RNC. He's not fanatical enough on abortion:

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."

He's soft on the gays too, apparently. The Washington Times, defending Steele, gets a little testy:

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.
