Yep, that's life for most of us that know what's going on. But since you are so politically astute why don't you go over to Rhode Island, recruit a good conservative candidate and convince the voters there to vote for real conservatives? Let us know how you do.
Chafee's current job approval rating in Rhode Island is 57% approval and 37% disapproval. Rhode Island's senior senator, liberal Democrat Jack Reed is at 67% approval and
26% disapproval.
That puts Chafee's support into proper political context for me.
And President Jimmy Carter served two terms, followed by Presidents Dukakis, Mitchell, and Kerry. The Soviet Union is still exists and has been using Islamic groups as a front for their continued global expansion. Former California Governor Ronald Reagan died last year and was honored, as the former President of the Screen Actor's Guild, by the Academy at last year's Oscars. Double digit inflation continues into its 3rd decade despite attempts by the Democrat controlled White House and Congress to curb it through further regulation and taxes. Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd (D-WV) is quoted as saying, "The last over half a century of Democrat control has been a learning experience for all of us. And if it takes another half a century to fix the economy, we're prepared to stay here for the long run." He went on to attack the Republicans for their negativity in their use of terms such as "big government" and "recession".
All of that may be the political reality today if we believed the political "reality" in the early 80's and again in the early 90's.
Dems and liberals can't keep winning RI forever. Sooner or later the dam is going to break, and electing a true conservative is the only choice who'll give them the straight dope.
