Former GOP Sen. Lincoln Chafee: Sarah Palin a 'Cocky Whacko'

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Former Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee has called vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a "cocky whacko" and said her selection as John McCain's running mate has energized supporters of Democrat Barack Obama.

Chafee left the Republican Party last year after losing his bid for re-election and now supports Obama. He told an audience Tuesday at the New America Foundation in Washington the Alaska governor has revived a "lackluster McCain candidacy."

Sounds like the Clinton defense during the bimbo eruptions.

They were all either nuts or sluts.

Just another case of a Liberal supporting a Liberal while knocking a Conservative. So much for Chafee's opinion.

Chaffee is a simi-communist fool who was so extreme pink he was defeated by a Lib in ‘o6. Put him right down there with his cohorts, Kerry, Kennedy, and O’blahblah. Crimson idiot!!! Talk about your whackjobs?? He’s the posterboy!!!

The playground insults from nearly everyone on left from politicians to entertainers is a clear indication of how the left never really never grows up to become adults and demonstrates a profound intellectual void. Seriously, I expect better behavior from children than I do from these people.

Glad I supported his GOP opponent in the primary where he got beat..sorry we lost his seat in the Senate, but this is the type of RINO (and there are many more) that need to be flushed from the GOP..mccain is closer to him than I would like, but hey we got Palin.

Lincoln Chaffee was a foolish politician. Look, if Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins can win re-election to their Senate seats in Maine, it proves that having an “R” after your name and supporting your party’s standard bearer does not kill you politically in New England. He even had to say that he was going to write in “George H.W. Bush” for President in 2004. To the extent he had a Republican “base” I am sure many of them “wrote in” someone else’s name when he was up for re-election last time.

Sounds like Chaffee is describing himself.

Nobody like a Benedict Arnold Chaffee. I bet even your new Leftist masters don’t fully trust you. But hey, Chaffee, the Democrat’s loss is our gain.

Gee Lincoln, that’s what most of your party thought about you.

Frankly, if Republicans in that state are like Lincoln Chafee..the Dems can keep that Senate seat for all I’m concerned.

Eventually..”leaders” like Chafee fade away..to be replaced by folks who understand what being leader is.
