I'll vote for a Democrat before I'll vote for Chafee in '06.
Chafee is all done, the RI GOP (which still supports Chafee) is all done. Aside from our Governor and 34% of the voting population, there is no such thing as a Conservative Republican in the state of RI.
Not Linda - Carly Simon.
Good.
Chafee is beyond redemption. N.E. Republicans need to learn what happens when you abandon your base. Light conservatives as R.I. Republicans may be, he needs to lose.
I is one thing to be a Liberal Republican. It is quite another to stab your Party in the back. That is what Chafee has done repeatedly. That is what Hagel has done. That is what Voinovich has done.
I don't think it's so much trying to scare Voinovich into thinking he will lose an election as much as it is about making him look 'bad' to Republicans. Since the disgraced Senator is so motivated by what people think of him (hence why he keeps selling out) I think that having Reps. in Ohio think he's stabbed them in the back might compel the good Senator to reconsider his alliance with the John Kerry/Barbara Boxer 'Blame America First' contingent.
A good job by Melanie Morgan and MAF!
Keep up the good work Mel.
I'm sorry, folks, but our cause is NOT helped when our first answer to everything is "It's the Democrats' fault." God forbid V. should have *genuine* concerns, and God forbid he should feel free to voice them.
Personally, I'd much rather have a Senator who acts and speaks from his or her own intellect than one who parrots the party line from the string being pulled on his back. V. "stabbed the President in the back" because he wants to consider the possibility that SOMEWHERE in this country there MIGHT be someone who is SLIGHTLY more qualified than Bolton? Please. Can we try being reasonable for a minute?
Welcome to FR.
Sorry but not Linda Ronstadt, it was Carly Simon that wrote and sang that.
Get a grip. When "V" gets elected President, then he can kick over rocks to find somebody who is SLIGHTLY more qualified than Bolton. In the meantime, all that clown is doing is helping the scumbags.
