Former Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee will attend the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte in September, WPRI reports.
Chafee is now the independent governor of liberal Rhode Island, and has been drifting away from the Republican Party since at least 2006, when he lost his re-election bid for the Senate. (In 2004, he withdrew his support for President George W. Bush's re-election.) Chafee backed President Barack Obama's 2008 run, and is a co-chair for his campaign.

No surprise here, surprise will be if some other alleged GOP’ers don’t join him in Charlotte.

I’d have been surprised if he didn’t. Chafee wasn’t a Republican even when he was.

For the name shock, I expect appearances by Ron Reagan (Junior) and his sister Patti Davis. Their seduction by the “dark side” is a matter of long standing, but the MSM will enjoy a few headlines.

If Lincoln Chafee is the kind of "prominent Republican" who will address the 'rat convention, that's just pathetic!

ThX! oops. correction on the way.

No surprise here, surprise will be if some other alleged GOP’ers don’t join him in Charlotte. They'll need to recruit a whole whorde of RINOs like Chaffee and Huntsman to make up for the mass defection of card carrying lemmings, I mean card carrying 'Rats.

>> I say vote for “NEITHER”.
A vote for neither is a vote for Obama.
Here’s a little exercise for ya. Google “romney stericycle”, and look at the list of purveyors of this trash:
*** Democratic Underground
*** Mother Jones
*** Huffington Post
*** Salon
... and those are just in the FIRST PAGE of links.
Seriously now, Mr. Purebred Conservative Stud, how does it feel to be getting your “conservative” talking points from the likes of THOSE garbage scows? Pretty good?

There is no way Lincoln Chafee would’ve nominated Paul Ryan to do anything. To Chafee ... Ryan is the villain.

A vote for neither is a vote for Obama. "Wrong! But thanks for playing! Johnny, tell him what his take-home gifts are!"
