If Chafee voted for Bush 70% of the time, I'd be doing cartwheels that he's in the Senate.
Unfortunately, he votes with Bush closer to 30% of the time, and about 0% of the time on major issues. He's not even a sure vote for majority leader.
However, having the RI primary as 'proof' that Republicans stand for nothing, deserve to lose, etc. is complete nonsense that'll appeal the mastubatory 'pure' crowd, but won't convince any thinking people.
Your right. This is a hit piece. Chastain compares Chaffee with Satan.
If Satan himself managed to get elected to office as a Republican, the Republican Party would fight to keep him there.A real rat? and that's a good thing??? I don't want a real rat. A real Republican can't win in liberal RI. Only a fool like Chastain could believe voters in Rhode Island have never heard Republican principles clearly articulated in their state. Am I to believe they don't get Fox news, Rush, and the internet.Better to throw your money down a rat hole than to give it to the RNC, the RSC or the RCC, or one of the leadership PACs.
What is the worse thing that could happen if Republicans lose the Senate seat in Rhode Island? It would be held by a real Democrat.
Laffey would have bombed worse than Keyes.
I was just looking over his record and I was suprised to see how often he votes "GOP" on judges including voting to invoke loture.
