Michael Steele: We need to reach out to pro-choice Republicans

The question of the day, as posed by former Giuliani speechwriter John Avlon in NRO: Should the GOP have a litmus test of social conservatism? David Brody put it to Steele in the context of his membership on the board of Republican Leadership Committee, Christie Todd Whitman’s outfit for “a Republican Party that is unified by the basic tenets of fiscal responsibility and personal freedom, but that allows for diverse opinions on social issues by its members.” I like his answer; most of you probably won’t. Or maybe you will. I can’t keep track anymore of which RINOs should be purged and which merely reformed.

Lots more goodness where this came from, with clips at CBN of Steele on the federal marriage amendment (he’s against it), kicking toxic incumbents like Ted Stevens out of office before they can destroy the party (he’s for it), and the media’s adulation of He Who Came From the Sky to Deliver Us (“This is their creation. He is their creation.”). Click the image to watch.
