Yer left, yer left, yer left-right-left...lockstep.
And isn't Lincoln just a special little RINO piece of work..
another reason for a Major league RINO hunt in 06 & 08
Max Dufus strikes again.
He is a one man advertisement for term limits.
Like that will happen.
This is exactly where Republicans need to get tough even if Chafee becomes a Dim. Get him off the committee. Play hardball. Today's actions including SP Fritz, demand a "Shock & Awe" response from conservatives. Patience is no longer a virtue in this context. Patience is now a vice.
Never ceases to amaze how the Hate Bush Always crowd will twist everything into an excuse to rage at Bush.
In the Senate, seniority is the main thing that determines committee assignments.

And the Bush administration wants this P.O.S. re-elected.
Whoever is in charge of the Republicans Senatorial campaign: Remember to send LOTS more $$$$ to Chafee so he can beat that dreadful Laffey who might be persuaded to vote with the rest of the Republicans at least once in a blue moon (unlike Chafee.) /s
If it had been anyone but Inhofe, Chafee might have gone along. Inhofe seems real conservative, AND an Oklahoman (perceived hick) so of course Chafee is being a bugger.
Barack wants to be Hillary's running mate. (ok, i'm being nice here).
For all the abuse the term RINO gets around here, Chafee deserves it, because he actually is a Repubican in name only. He isn't on our side of ANY big issue. There isn't another Republican senator you can say that about.
Support Laffey in '06.
I don't know if he can win against a Democrat, but we should try. Chafee has tried my last nerve. he is NO Republican. Time to drop him. Ditto DeWine.
The dems feared this bill very much so because it would have elminated a campaign issue. Why cant Chaffee see that?
If we could somehow convince Chafee to switch to the Democrats where he belongs, we would gain 2 net Republicans in each of the committees and sub-committees on which he sits. The GOP supposedly has a 2-member advantage in those committees, but because Chafee votes like a Democrat we end up with no better than an even split. Here's a more in-depth analysis of why we should kick Chafee off the GOP caucus: http://auh2orepublican.blogspot.com/2005/08/what-to-do-about-insufferable-senator.html

Beg to differ, McCain (shiver...)
"We should be addressing our consumption, not just demand,"
Hey D**kweed, consumption is demand.
This was reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Democrats are only mad because the "high" gas prices (still low today when adjusted for inflation than in the late 1970's) are market driven.
They love high gas prices when it fits their left wing agenda and is caused by their excessive taxes.
As a Rhode Islander, I'm proud to say that I can't stand Chafee and he's not a RINO in RI - everyone here calls him a democrat!
