Chafee is endorsed by by the Log Cabin Republicans

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.

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

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

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.

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

These guys are socialists, not liberals. The word 'liberal' has been misused and maligned for too long.

Liberalism stands for open markets, liberal democracy abroad, and individual autonomy at home. It does not stand for being anti-war, a USSR-style government command economy, or social engineering. For example, consider the subject of war. John Stuart Mill, a liberal, once wrote that

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Republicans are for this republic, democrats are for this republic becoming a democracy.. Many republicans are democrats and ALL democrats are democrats..

Rhode Island has few republicans..

"My father was a tool maker, he never went to college."

If he never went to college he isn't a toolmaker, a machinist or mechanic perhaps, not a toolmaker.

“I grew up with no money. I watched my dad lose his job in the 1970s when foreign imports were taking jobs away,” Laffey said.

Why why why do politicians keep talking about how poor they were and how they've done this and that in their families? I don't care. Tell me your position on the issues and leave it at that.

[Badray]

Last of the liberal Republicans? Nope, just the worst of them.

[Phsstpok]

I think it might be more instructive to examine Joe Lieberman as the last of the American Democrats.

[no dems]

He's knocked on 30,000 doors, huh? Don't count this guy out. There is nothing that impresses voters more than to have a candidate knock on their door and ask for their vote.

[KC_Conspirator]

So on the eve of the last moderate democrat Joe Lieberman being kicked out of the party, MSNBC decides to run this? What a joke.

Mr Curry apparently never heard of Bob Corker the pseudo conservative just nominated in Tennessee. Corker wears the label of Chaffee Republican
