Lincoln Chafee was a Traditional Reagan Republican? Who knew?
Here she says "unite around shared values" and elsewhere is whining about "partisan bickering."
That bickering isn't partisan, IMO, but because her group has moved away from those values.

PRESS RELEASE
November 15, 2006
America Needs a Strong, United GOP
The Republican Party Should United Around Shared Values
(Washington, D.C.) – "The election of 2006 is over," said Sarah Chamberlain Resnick, Executive Director of the Republican Main Street Partnership. "Now is the time for our party to put aside our differences and unite around shared values. With Democrats in charge in the House and the Senate, now, more than ever, America needs a strong, united Republican Party."
"Our party has a historic opportunity to recapture the middle of the American electorate and build a lasting legislative majority," continued Resnick. "We need to celebrate our ideological diversity and recognize that people of good faith can disagree on complex social issues. The way forward for our party is not to battle over our differences, but to highlight areas where our party is unified."
"Ronald Reagan built a big tent party that attracted conservatives and moderates, Republicans and independents, and people from all across the country. The foundation of this big tent party was a belief in limited government, a commitment to free market economics, and a confident foreign policy," said Resnick. "Now is the time for the GOP to return to those core principles. The American voter is hungry for solutions and we should be the party that provides them."
"The Republican Main Street Partnership is committed to bringing back Ronald Reagan’s Republican Party. Main Street recognizes that the GOP is not monolithic, and for our party to succeed we will need the support of Republicans of all ideological stripes. Our party’s way forward is clear," concluded Resnick.
