Matt Lewis at Townhall.com reports that Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell had some strong words for RNC Chairman Michael Steele following his recent comments regarding gay marriage and abortion.

His response:

Chairman Steele, as the leader of America's Pro-Life conservative party, needs to re-read the Bible, the U.S. Constitution, and the 2008 GOP Platform. He then needs to get to work -- or get out of the way.

Blackwell, also a candidate for the RNC chair, dropped out of the race during the election and endorsed Steele.
