PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Sen. Lincoln Chafee created a committee on Monday to explore a run for governor next year as an independent candidate after leaving the Republican Party, his first formal move to enter the race.

My bad, I meant “independent.” Sorta like how Lieberman from the next state over is “independent.”

[RC2]

No matter. It doesn’t matter what party..........they are just professional politicians.

[freekitty]

Kick him out.

[JohnG45]

Why can’t these people just GO AWAY.

Can’t they just get a job someplace?

Why do they have to return to the public trough?

[St. Louis Conservative]

Chafee could very well end up hurting the Dems more than the Republicans if he runs as an independent.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He already booted himself.

[fieldmarshaldj]

As of now, we have no Republican candidate for Governor.

[Tublecane]

“as an independent candidate”

Good riddance.

[bilhosty]

If “the missing Linc” can siphon enough lib votes away from the Dem’s maybe we can win this one.

[Peter W. Kessler]

>>>Can’t they just get a job someplace?<<<

They don’t know how to do anything.

[JohnG45]

What is driving this creep, some sick sense of self importance?

[bilhosty]

Probably noblesse oblige and the need to prove his own superiority over us middle class Neanderthals.

[freekitty]

All the better.

[Navy Patriot]

At least the Republicans are rid of him.

[I_Like_Spam]

Politics is Mr. Chafee’s career, its the only “work” he knows.

I’m just suprised he didn’t get a job with the Obama administration.

[Vaquero]

lincoln, lincoln, I’ve been thinkin’?

but you haven’t.

[LiberConservative]

At least he was honest with himself and everyone else. I have to respect him for that. If the rest of the RINO’s would do the same thing it would certainly clear the riffraff out of the Republican party.

[Joe Boucher]

And what might they be qualified for? Politicians only know how to take not give.
A real job?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Not if you don't have a GOP candidate. There aren't even any speculative candidates right now. The GOP might support him anyway, even as a Socialist Independent. Sickening.
