With the House and the Senate in play in this years election we need the RINOs.

Chaffee has his head up his ARSE, but we can't afford to lose his seat to the Demos.

Chaffe is truly a "Republican In Name ONLY."

They're counting on him to hold his "R" senate seat.

Very true.A practical example of what you're saying is contained in some stats put out by some leftist,atheist organization that rates Senators on issues that matter to them...stuff like the Boy Scouts and other issues that "unconstitutionally forces religion on citizens" (my words).

Here's a ratings list by that atheist organization of the Senate.Note that Reed (RI's democRAT Senator) gets a 100% (a perfect score) from the atheists and Chaffee gets only 40%.If a real democRAT is elected in RI,the state will have two Senators who rate 100%.

Actually, I see both sides to this argument.

IMO the GOP incumbent should be given every benefit of the doubt. But not total. A tough call.

That is exactly how the RNC thinks.

The RNC is not concerned with principles or conservatism or anything other than winning.

If that fact bothers an individual then that individual should not contribute to the RNC. Contribute directly to the candidate of your choice and eliminate the middle man.

Chaffee had an ACU rating of 12% conservative in '05. I don't think we need that.
