No surprise here. Chafee has always been a RINO. The only surprise is that the GOP couldn't put enough pressure on him to go along with the GOP. It is about time the Administration wakes up and stabs this jackass in the back. There should be penalties for elected Republicans who do not vote like Republicans. The Republican leadership needs some discipline. No way should Chafee get GOP support the next time he runs. The GOP should say "No" funds to RINOs.
What is it about Republicans who can't stand up and lead? There have been glory days. Newt's generation, Reagan's generation, radical republican generation etc.
HOW frustrating is it to see a man of Frist's intellectual stature cave in and be a crybaby about the "nation" unwilling to back him on Terri Schiavo for instance...PERPLEXING AND INFURIATING...
