Lincoln Chafee’s vote Wednesday against the nomination of Priscilla Owen has made it clear that, save for leadership numbers games, conservatives would not be any worse off with a Democrat than with Chafee (R., R.I.) in the Senate.

I have faith in you. You'll make the Saturday deadline. Even if you have to rent a front-end loader on Friday evening. HAHA!

I was so upset and overwhelmed this afternoon, I sat on the front lawn and cried. Two nice men stopped and they loaded all the stuff that overwhelmed me into the debris bin. :)

All this redneck knows about Chaffee is that his chest-thumping father ("I served in WWII!!") annually introduced in the Senate a bill calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. For decades he did this.

F&#@ him. He's nothing but trash.

A RINO is the best we can do in that state.

Then maybe it's time to write it off. Let the Blue Staters have the a Senator who reflects their views, but at least has the decency to wear the Dim's label.

We should concentrate on defeating Dim Senators in Red States, IMHO.

Maybe the RI pubs should think about asking Buddy Cianci to run and kick some butt in the Senate.

That is, if he's out of jail, and they can keep him from stealing whatever Hillary didn't take.

All the donations I made to the NRSC will now go directly to defeating RINOS like Chafee. The RINOS are about to have a political can of whoop ass opened up on them. WE WILL NOT FORGET!

Maybe there's a Zell Miller lurking among the sheeple in that state? That would be an acceptable option, right?
