I loathe the RINOs, but here is the problem. The state is DemocRATic and liberal, insuring that a conservative will not win. We have to face that. We can hope and hope and hope, but it won't happen. Occasionally, he might vote correctly. But the one thing we do need is to remain in the majority. We cannot let the DemocRATS get control of the committe chairmanships again. It is easy to say --- screw the RINO, let the DemocRAT win. But that position is just plain foolish. Politics is the art of the possible.

Very true. Elect RINOs in the Blue states. And then work like crazy in the primaries to get conservatives elected in the Red states. Eventually we will probably lose the GOP RINO senators from Maine, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania. In the meantime, we must get more GOP senators from the Dakotas. And more conservative senators to replace RINO senators from Red states.

But if you're a liberal in RI, why would you vote for a liberal Republican, when you can have a liberal Democrat?

Sorry Doug, but you're just engaging in hypotheticals and fallacies. You DON'T know if a real conservative can win in R.I., or anywhere else. Toomey came close to upsetting Specter in PA.

Chaffee deserves to lose, the GOP Senate "majority" is a joke anyway, and I'll definetly be sending some greenbacks Laffey's way next year.

News to Don Carcieri.

You used DemocRAT 3 times in one bashing paragraph.

Very cheap my friend, and I shutter when I read you taking on 'liberals' in public.

Shape up!
