A very good point. We can complain all we want about the Republicans in Congress, and I do. But they would do a much better job for us if we got rid of more Rats, especially in the Senate. So, let's keep complaining, but let's also keep our eyes on the ball.

We need to get to 60+ Republican Senators (filibuster proof) and that includes dropping Lincoln Chaffee.

Think about it.

Get rid of the RATs and the RINO's like Chaffee won't matter.

I'm not opposed to Chaffee gone, but the RATs gone will mean a lot more.

Yes on both counts.

Bush's first term was crippled in many respects by our loss of four Senate seats in 2000. We clawed back to a one-vote majority in 2002, but that wasn't much good. Now that we have a decent-sized majority, the air has gone out of Bush's balloon. 60 seems virtually impossible in 2006, but every Senate election affects the Senate for years to come.
We must build toward the day when we have a first-term Republican president AND 60 Republican senators. Part of that, I agree, is:

DUMP CHAFEE!!!!!
