Steele's capacity for self-parody could power the RNC offices for a week.
You're welcome in the Republican Big Tent, just as long as you're a conservative Christian male who hates gays, Muslims, science and immigrants.

Nonsense zandar, the leaders of the GOP don't want their base to succeed because their REAL goal is to use a morally divisive issue for political gain. As long as the fight is ongoing they will thunk they are winning.
Faced with the charge of hypocrisy for providing employees health insurance that covers abortion, the Republican National Committee has moved to strike the benefit from their policy.
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," said chairman Michael Steele. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
And just think, the Republicans want to do the same for all of America's women, not just the ones who work for them!
As tristero says over at Digby's place,
Short answer to commentators who claim that "pro-life" is just a morally neutral label for one side in a political controversy: You're kidding yourself. You may think the nuanced meanings of a specific phrase don't matter, but they do.The goal here is to eliminate the procedure for all women in America. Period.

Not arguing that.

Actually, the goal is to eliminate abortion for all babies in America.
