Leave him alone, Hildy. He's ignorant and proud of it.
The Ignoramus Pride Movement.
If Santorum loses, Spectre should be stripped of his coveted chairmanship.
They will vote R for Gov, just leave senate vote blank or Libertarian.
I'm just wondering where you got those numbers.
Does this mean that Democrats voted in the Republican primary, so that they could defeat Laffey, then changed their affiliation after the primary so they could go back to voting Democrat in the General Election?
If Laffey was such a bad candidate in the general election, why did so many Democrats do so much to defeat him?
Yes...but for one time, they might be right. I'm usually on your side, I supported Specter over Toomey, for example. But in this case, Chafee really ISN'T really better then his opponent.
Chafee isn't good on ANY issue, AND he's threatened to leave the party before. I've been saying he makes Arlen Specter look like Helms, and that's a very accurate description.
I guess he's better then the other guy, because he'll 'probably' vote for an R majority leader, and he'll 'probably' not fillibuster judges. But so far, those are the only things he's done right, and he doesn't have to keep doing them.
But he is literally worthless on everything else. He didn't even vote for Bush in 2004 and said so publically (he wrote in GHWBush, saying he was a 'great president' because he violated his 'no new taxes' pledge and signed the clean water act).
I don't really care much who wins in RI. The only way I'd care is if it'll split 50/50, then we are going to have to have some major gut checks, hoping Chafee won't switch.
If I lived in RI, I'd vote dem or 3rd party. how much more to the left it get?
No, it means independents voted in the R primary. Independents outnumber Rs or Ds in RI, and they like Chafee.
Chafee probably will win the general. I don't see what that gains us, unless the Senate is split 50/50, (and even then, maybe not) but he probably will.
As to Chafee well he is the nominee and we need to support him. He is my least favorite to say the least of the Senate but if his vote in 06 or more importantly in 08 keeps the Senate under Republican leadership then it worth the effort.
Absentee.
How nice for you. Come visit sometime; you'll hardly recognize the place.
It's purists with attitudes like yours that makes fighting the WOT ten times harder.
I'd crawl on my hands and knees over broken glass to pull the lever for any Republican just to keep the Democrats from gaining power to destroy this great country of ours.
Why thank you, Lex. I was just there a month ago.
Why you you :)
(of course, I'll be voting for him too)
When the party prefers to attract independents OVER the base, you have a major problem.
It's an either/or and the or is unthinkable.
If you consider "valuable" the fact that you don't have to have loyalty to be supported. That's the only lesson he learned.
Hope you liked the visit. We just spent an few extra $billion sprucing up the place. I particularly like the festive green, white and red bunting everywhere.
