How many Repubs do you think actually agree with Steele's abortion position?

[Drunken Irishman]

But are too big of pusses to speak out because their party has been hijacked by the cultural right?

[Kittycat]

1. Most. Just ask their mistresses.

:shrug:

2. A lot of them. The freeps want to believe that the entire party is conservative but most pukes are

moderate. I know several republicans and not a single one of them is opposed to choice.

3. He has a position? Last i read he was flip flopping.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Flip flopped or covering his ass?

5. I'd bet money it's something like 50%, but they're AFRAID of losing political power,

or what political power they have left, which makes them desperate.

The funny thing is, an honest Pro-Life position would support Universal Health Care, complete, appropriate, and free Education, and genuine Economic Justice. That's one way you can tell a Pro-Life-Liar, they're against creating the necessities of Life, i.e. the means by which the living can take responsibility for their own lives.

6. those checks from the "cultural right" really come in handy ...

[Booster]

7. I'd say about 50% and most of them are men. But let their

daughter get pregnant and see what happens. Bet the girl goes to live with a far off relative for a short time.

[AllentownJake]

8. All of them

If the abortion and gay rights issue went away there would be no energy of hate for the righties to go to the polls to do God's work.

9. I dunno. There are a LOT of 'pubs who are in the GOP SOLELY because of abortion. NT

[Danger Mouse]

12. Those are the Jesus freaks, mostly.

[Clio the Leo]

13. I'd kindly request that you NOT Sully the name of our Savior...

.... by associating Him with that bunch. :)

[Danger Mouse]

15. Pardon me. 'Fauxtians'

[Clio the Leo]

16. Or you can use MY term for them..........

.... "poopie pants!" :)

[Hieronymus]

10. Most of them agree with Steele. It's just a good talking point.

[quakerboy]

11. If I could figure out what his position is

then I might be able to answer that question.

14. In the general population or elected officials?

Of the Senators I would think very few for their own family but maybe over 50%, barely. The McCain's of the world just go along because they need the support.

I would think in the House the number would be higher. They can use the same network created by the local mega churches to get their initial state level wins and then can make it to the House based upon the same core supporters.

As for the general population I tend to believe polls are accurate and a sizable minority that is well funded drives the agenda. I do believe that a large percentage, if not a majority, of those hard core supporters would take exception in their personal life if rape/incest/severe genetic issues were involved in a pregnancy of a family member.
