In March 05, I stopped contributing to the RNC or any national GOP (senate or house) groups. Instead I contribute to only specific conservative candidates opposing either DimWits or RINOs, or to pro-life causes.

The group that Mr. Toomey chairs, the Club for Growth, is great.

I send my donations there instead of the NRSC.

I truly believe it is the water those Rhode Island senators drink.

I remember in early 1967, when I was Adrmial Moorer's Aide (CNO) at a Friday Night gray flannel suit drinkathon in the Senate Cloak Room. Admiral Moorer was there with a gaggle of Appropriation and SASC Skalawags--lobbying for a new carrier. (I was there essentially as an ornament and as his "horse holder".

Senator Clairborne Pell -- the know-it-all Senator from Rhode Island button-holed me, started a rant on Viet Nam, (I had just returned from a combat tour) -- and then asked me to get him a drink.

I had the great pleasure -- as a young Commander -- to tell Senator Pell to specifically: "Kiss My A##" !!

Later, I told Moorer what had happened with the egocentric senator. The Admiral gave me a "Well Done". We got the carrier, anyway, thanks in no small part to John
Tower and Mendel Rivers.

Unquestionably, the pi##-ant senators from Rhode Island are in a world of their own. I guess the dinky state gives them a false sense of their own importance.

Chaffee's dad was an OK governor. The son is a first rate pussy -- in spades -- who makes the average RINO look like John Burch.
