"It's hard to figure why Bush would support a half-wit like Lincoln Chafee"

Exactly why I no longer send $1,000 to the RNC each year, and am now a re-registered 'Independent Conservative', here in York County (PA). Yes, I'll still vote for some GOPers, but very selectively, instead of pulling the Party Handle in the booth.

I think Bush is smart enough to know that the conservative has zero chance of winning in RI and a RINO will at least keep the majority. Just like in PA with Specter. It leaves a bad taste in our mouths but the Dems have the same problems. We need a real conservative like Reagan. I still contribute to the GOP but I also pray we get a conservative in the white house soon. Pulling the GOP handle will ALWAYS get the less liberal candidate.

My approach also, a few GOP, a few third party, and absolutely no new bond measures. Republicans must be held accountable also for the explosion of Gov't spending. No new infrastructure spending until border controlled.
