WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Republican Main Street Partnership today praised Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) for his decision to vote against Judge Samuel Alito's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court and blasted his critics for "playing politics" with the Senator's decision.

So it will be much more enjoyable when Chafee loses in the primary. The first step in delivering a potent message from the people.

I've got to call Johnny Isakson's office and tell him he needs to watch who he hangs out with.

Enemies List Well, maybe not exactly enemies (well after all it's better to have a RINO who at least votes with the conservatives 60% of the time than a Democrat) but they certainly need to be watched.

This is all about the next one.
These RINOs did not dare vote against Alito.
Now, they will encourage each other, and try to make the case in advance that the next Bush nominee will "tip the court" and therefore be unacceptable.

Well, maybe not exactly enemiesOh yes they are. They're wolves in sheeps clothing, they're the enemy inside the gates. Use whatever analogy you want, but to me they are the enemy.
They are the same Bob Dole, Rockefeller Republicans who reply each time the Rats move left, "not so fast, let's only move left a little bit at a time."
I despise them. You do what you want.

Johnny Isaacson of Georgia is a real lightweight and does nothing for the Republican Party. Gingrich should forget the run for President and seek the senate seat from Georgia.

The Republican Main Street Partnership has a lot in common with The Log Cabin Republicans.
To: gaspar
It is interesting to note that the only Texan to join this group is Kay Granger, who just might be in trouble; and the only Arizonan is Jim Kolbe who was challenged by a conservative in the last election and decided to leave Congress rather than face another challenge this time.

Thank you for the Barf alert.
This is putting a good face on an unprincipled person. Chafee is a national, regional, and local joke.
RI should be ashamed of themselves.

"such issues as executive power and the environment"
Bullpucky! It is all about ABORTION!
To: gaspar
Isakson is actually probably more liberal than Zell Miller who occupied the seat before him.

The only difference is that the Log Cabin Republicans are rather insignificant (despite the fact that the MSM loves them), whereas the RINO Partnership is probably the largest congressional alliance.
