The last of the liberal Republicans?

MSNBC ^ | Aug 7, 2006 | Tom Curry

[Calpernia]

Chafee is endorsed by by the Log Cabin Republicans

[MinnesotaLibertarian]

Once we cut our revenue and didn’t do anything about spending and, in fact put the subsidies back into the farm bill, put another benefit on to Medicare, and got ourselves into an expensive war, we have deficits and we’re not cutting our spending.

He's right about this.

I‘m also concerned about the growing disparity of wealth. Without a doubt most of these tax cuts help the wealthy and the middle class is finding it harder.

But he spews the same old liberal BS here.

[ozzymandus]

Newsweak had a slobbering, obsequious article about their pal Chafee.

[MinnesotaLibertarian]

The Log Cabin Republicans are just as much a part of the Republican coalition as any other Republican group.

Deal with it.

[Chi-townChief]

What's funny is that I used to love mayonaise sandwiches when I was a kid. I preferred spaghetti sauce to ketchup, though.

[juliej]

With Republicans like Chaffee, who needs Democrats?

[03A3]

Log Cabin Republicans love mayo sandwiches too.

The Log Cabin Republicans are just as much a part of the Republican coalition as any other Republican group. Deal with it.

What are you going to do when the Tax and Spend Republican Club is formed? What about the Gun Ban Republican Club? or the Islamic Jihad Republican Club? or the Cindy Sheehan Republican Club? What exactly constitutes "part of the Republican coalition"? Everyone who hangs the name "Republican" on their group? Or just people who's views you agree with, like the sodomites?

[Prokopton]

"What are you going to do when the Tax and Spend Republican Club is formed?'

The club has already been formed and they are in control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

Easy to say it is BS, harder to prove. The rich can still escape into bankruptcy, considerably harder for the little folks, thanks to GW.

[Calpernia]

Well said.

[NeoCaveman]

Well he is from Rhode Island, what were you expecting, Jesse Helms perhaps?

[Calpernia]

The Log Cabin Republicans are just as much a part of the Republican Democrat coalition.

[Calpernia]

The LCR made a few cell groups and now call themselves a coalition. They refer to 'us' as the Conservative parties as if we are not part of their 'coalition' any more.

[winner3000]

Sounds like Laffey better represents the Republican wing of the Republican party! The last of the Republican Liberals? Hah! There are still plenty of those such as Snowe, Spectre, Collins, etc. Hopefully Chaffee's defeat will keep them on their toes. It will also hopefully make the RNC think twice before supporting someone who'se resemblence to a Republican is only in the initial next to his name.

Perhaps, but this is ostensibly a "Conservative" as opposed to a "Republican" (or for that matter "Libertarian" website).

You don't seem to be able to deal with that at all!

[theBuckwheat]

When should we expect MSNBC to have an article, The Last of the Conservative Democrats?

[presidio9]

That's not mayonaise.

[YCTHouston]

A mayonaise sandwich with a slice of velveeta was a special treat. Not as good as a fried spam sandwich. Thank God we didn't know how bad we were for ourselves.
