"said Mr. Chafee, a centrist Republican up for re-election"
Calling Lincoln Log Cabin Chafee "a centrist" is awfully generous. To quote Dennis Miller, He's farther to the left than the part in Sam Donaldson's hair.
that mccain....i tell you....vicious judas goat along with chafee....they may call themselves 'republican' and you can fool some of the people some the time, but you can't fool the all the people all the time....except those flaming libs with their heads up their tails who enjoy being fooled all the time....
I have to ask - and I mean this seriously, not flippantly - is this the ONLY public policy question you care about? I never see you post on anything else, JUST gay topics.
LOL -as the person prresently tasked with running the homosexual agenda ping list I not so surprisingly focus on this issue...
The best bet to replace Chafee is to defeat him in the primary...
I dont have a vote in this election (I'm in California), I do have some money to help defeat Chafee... I've given money to Steve Laffey's campaign (money I saved by not giving to the RNC or RSNC this year).

OK, thanks. I didn't know there were assignments for that. I appreciate the...."straight" answer.
(Sorry, absolutely could NOT resist.....)
I blasted all of the Republican Senators (and their staffers) that voted against the Bill. I signed off with: You voted today, we get to vote tomorrow. THese idiots are not accountable to the people that elected them.
They really believe that they are above the fray and the will of the voters.
I use such as this e.g. forcing myself to enage and focus upon and as such gain understanding and expertise to more effectively support or oppose political issues that I feel are of importance.
As a Catholic, the fact that I may faithfully believe or know what is and or should be so matters not politically -what matters politically is building consensus -winning people over. As such, one must engage -- and in engaging sharpen their skills... It does not matter how right one is if no one knows it...
The United States Senate was forced to take steps to definitively define marriage by just a few half-baked judges. Calling a same-sex couple "married" is like calling asparagus broccoli.
In the eyes of God, there is only one kind of marriage, and God will not be mocked.
Ah, I was just about to post that link. Now I don't have to, thanks.
Vote Laffey or contribute to Laffey if you cannot vote. Send a signal to RINO's that there is a point even they cannot be forgiven.
BTW, somewhat in keeping with the social conservative aspect of the story....Remember the vote to ban abortion in South Dakota everyone was buzzing about a few months ago?

"It was a given that anti-abortion forces won the headline victories, with Republican voters defeating four of their own senators - all who opposed the abortion ban HB1215."
Looks like a repeat of the Penn primaries when they ousted their legislators over the pay raise. These voters ousted the legislators that didn't vote for the ban. Yeah, I know not everyone is a social conservative on the board, but Republicans in S.D. are overwhelmingly so. Their legislators defied them, and they paid the price.
I'd state it's official. The Conservative crackdown is in full swing and RINO's are losing more representatives then they are winning. Even Arnold lost his preferred candidate in the primaries in Cali. Getting Chafee's head, though, would be a real coup.
I've never contributed to the DNC, there were always better candidates (Helms, Reagan, Hatch, Laxalt) and there are (Hunter, Van Taylor, John Kline) today.

Absolutely, right on!
It is exactly what I have been advocating (and practicing) for all of our frustrated Conservative brothers and sisters.
We don't have to sit out this upcoming election and we CAN retain control of Congress, while at the same time, work toward the replacement of RINOS with other "right-thinking" Republicans who are true conservatives.
Rhode Islander here - I fully plan on voting for Laffey in the primary. To be honest, I've got a few reservations about Laffey, but I'm thinking of it not as voting for him, but voting against Chafee.
If Laffey loses the primary (which unfortunately is more likely than not), I'll be writing in the Pope on the ballot.
If Chafee wins the Primary, vote for the Donk in November... Chafee votes like a Donk, and will probably switch parties anyway if it would make a difference in who controls the Senate (a la Jim Jeffords). We have to get Chafee out of the Senate... in a few years he'll have enough senority to start chairing committees, which is unacceptable.
