There was ONE Republican that voted against Alito.
ONE Republican that caved to the Left and voted AGAINST what was RIGHT.
We've told you about him before -- and we've told you that we're going to do something about him. Well, the time is now.
If you guessed the supreme "Republican In Name Only" (RINO), Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island... you guessed right.
SHAME ON HIM. For too long, he's voted with Democrats in the Senate, and AGAINST President Bush.
I mean that literally. He voted AGAINST President Bush in the last presidential election!
The man is a LIBERAL. His lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union is just 41. You read that right - FORTY-ONE. Democrats like Ben Nelson of Nebraska have higher ratings than Chafee does!
Well, we've finally got a chance to get Chafee OUT of the Senate. A REAL conservative Republican is running against him in the GOP primary in Rhode Island: Stephen Laffey, the mayor of Cranston, R.I.
He's anti-tax, anti-big government, pro-life -- and has pledged to vote FOR constitutionalist judges like Samuel Alito!
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is not only BACKING Chafee in the primary -- which they shouldn't even be sticking their noses in -- they're actively OPPOSING Laffey, having already spent a TON of money on negative ads attacking Laffey on behalf of Sen. Chafee!
To top it off, even AFTER Chafee voted AGAINST Justice Alito's confirmation, the NRSC said they were STILL supporting him against Laffey!
THIS is where our hard-earned donations go, when GOP groups like the NRSC come calling and asking for handouts?

Lincoln Chafee is the upper-class twit of the century, but when the Senate was tied 50-50, he voted for Republican control. Rhode Island is the bluest state in the union. Learn to live with Linc.
Wrong. Its shared by many.
I'm not happy with Chafee either, but calling for purges is more dangerous to the party than Chafee.
Why don't you leave instead?
After you...
You: That is the most ridiculous statement ever posted on Free Republic.
Can you name the one State that had a higher percentage of the vote for Kerry in 2004 than the 60% of Rhode Island?
If you think that we are going to have any Senator from Rhode Island who is more conservative than Chafee, then it isn't me that is ridiculous. I much prefer Chafee's ACU rating of 40 than the rating of ZERO we are going to get from his inevitable Democrat replacement.
Chafee is a poison to the G.O.P. and that is why he must be opposed/ousted.
Inside, outside house, poison? Those are just words to cloud the reality.
