Lowell Weicker was the original RINO. He is a former Independent actually.
As he sees CT go left, he adapts.
Weicker was and is a smug, pompous, sanctimonious asswipe.
Weicker is conniving swine.
"before being defeated by the other-Democrat Joe Lieberman"
Fixed it
“I think that if the Republican Party stays as it is now, I would still run as a geriatric independent, as I did when I ran for governor. The problem would be that if I ran as a Republican, then I’d be subject to Republican primaries and Republican conventions and I’d have to leave the house in the morning and not be able to spend time at the Greenwich Country Club. Anybody that runs has to kowtow so far to the public that they become unelectable to the press come election time.”
Ah, yes, yet another entry in the “Tea Party Is Destroying The Republican Party” meme - the proggies are pounding that drum as hard as they can. Sort of amusing, really.
Just like that piece-of-filth Lincoln Chafee— I actually heard that asshat doing a full-blown 911 Truther confabulation on local public radio.
The GOP has become RINO’s, wannabe Dems, the majorty are caving on almost every pro-Socialist/Communist issue.
THE GOP calls patriots and TEA Partiers “exotics”.
What is he smoking?
Possibly he's referring to Republicans in some other country...
LOL— your re-write is much more accurate than the original.
So far to the right? Everything the Tea Party supports was standard Republican Party policy during the time Weicher served in Congress.
A couple of things about RINOs: they live for a very long time and they only get bolder with age.
I thought he was in jail?

Isn’t he the one Reagan complained about?
I thought that Weicker was dead.
...and those were his good points.
