And now we mack damn sure he will lose. And for the RINO appologists here, I'd rather give the Dems the whole Senate than continue to destroy "Conservatism" in the name of "he can win". At least then the 40some Republicans will find their backbone and vote on issues.
If it's Chafee's vote that makes the difference between Republican and Democrat control, he will all but certainly cross the aisle.
Why? it's all about Linc.
Didn't Chaffee just single-handedly kill the Bolton nomination? Is the the Repub plan to hold on to power?
You'd better re-read your political history. Conservatives have yet to succeed in rolling back any part of the welfare state (other than welfare reform).
Let me just give you one current issue: Iraq
If you want to live with the fallout of another retreat in disgrace and ingominy a la Vietnam then by all means stay home or vote 'Rat.
You want our soldiers and government officials indited and prosecuted by the ICC ? You want our foreign policy dictated by the Kyoto Protocol and the UN ? You want socialized medicine, gay marriage, and homosexual education pushed in schools a la Caliufornia ?
Sure, then, by all means vote 'Rat or stay home - same thing.
Then you're an idiot, and don't give a damn about your Country. If you can't have it your way, you won't have anything. Just stay home on election day. Please.
It's purists with attitudes like yours that makes fighting the WOT ten times harder.
I'd crawl on my hands and knees over broken glass to pull the lever for any Republican just to keep the Democrats from gaining power to destroy this great country of ours.
