Chafee can rot in Hell.
He will and he'll have plenty of company.
Voinovich should be voted out of office on the first upcoming opportunity. The people of Ohio should be disgusted by this man -- this former governor who helped put the state on the path that is has been on. But his worst offense was in his weepy rejection of this great patriot's nomination to the stupid UN post. We needed a Bolton -- now who knows what kind of idiot we'll get as a replacement thanks to Senator Voinovich and weeny Lincoln Chafee. SHAME on your both. Neither of you could carry John Bolton's jock-strap, just to borrow an old phrase that seems very appropriate in this case.
Yep...yet another reason the pubbies are losers.
SO why didn't Bush press to have Bolton confirmed this month? The GOP still has 55 seats. Chafee no longer has anything to lose. I don't get it. What's the holdup?
Why didn't Joe (memtum) help out to offset Linc?
The article was right on target. The other point is the Dem's party discipline. Other way around, (a) there would have been no defectors, and (b) about half the losers would have been there for who the heck ever the Dems nominated.
Total melt-down of the GOP. Time for some fresh faces.
He can take voinovich and dewine with him. Useless, worthless and mindless.
There is another Republican that goes un named here and it should be named.
Bill Frist....worse leader of the Senate I have ever seen....no guts billy boy....when is he leaving? Or has he already gone?
But then soon-to-be-former Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.) stepped in to stop Bolton.
No matter how my day is going, I break out into a smile every time I remember he's going.
This is the fault of the "symbolic majority" we HAD.
RINOS got Conservatives nowhere.
How do you suppose the 'Rats will use their Majority?
I'm guessing with more spine than the alleged Republicans did.
ANWR? Off-Shore Drilling? Permanent tax cuts? Marriage defined? Immigration Reform?
Don't fear, the "rat Majority will be short lived.
We just have to run CONSERVATIVES again!
Uh huh, guess who backed Linc. over a more Conservative challenger?
Yep, same guy who backed Specter.
Sometimes you get what you asked for.
Bush did push to have Bolton confirmed, but Chafee's on the committee and announced he would vote no. Therefore, the committee was deadlocked at 9-9, and Bolton was not voted out to the Senate floor. Nomination - DOA.
I expect Chafee to announce he's switching to the democrat party very soon, and he'll try to get the Dim nomination. If he can get that, he's a shoe-in to get his Senate seat back. Blocking Bolton is groundwork for this.
That famous Bush loyalty seems to be missing when it comes to people like Ashcroft, Bolton, and Rumsfeld.
Chafee said that before the election. There did not seem to be any major push since then.
We need a new republican party. Or a new conservative party. Or something.
I agree. He dumped people who where very dedicated to him and I am angry about it.
