Why should we "tolerate" idiots like Chafee who vote with the other side anyway?
Chaffe ain't a moderate Republican.
He's an old-school liberal Republican. Not even Snowe and Collins vote as liberal as he does.
The only reason I'd vote for him (if I lived in Rhode Island) is because he'd vote to organize the Senate on GOP lines.
What I'm talking about are those GOP members of Congress who don't vote in complete lock-step with conservative thinking.
Why are we so quick to trash them and throw them out of the party?
Because your choice is chafee or whitehouse. If you don't understand that tancredo can't get elected in Rhode Island, I think you are the idiot and not chafee.
