So why, a year before the election, is the GOP embracing Chafee and spending close to $200,000 on television ads aimed at undercutting his conservative rival in the Republican primary, Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey?

Party before principle.

For what does it profit a party to win an election but lose its soul?

see post #5. Until R.I. and much of the N.E. decides it wants real conservatives you will have RINOs. That's life.

Great quote, even if derivative. May I post it on my freeper homepage?
