Somebody enroll Chafee in a testicular transplant program. He seems to have lost his.
“Oh, those mean conservatives hurt my widdle feelings. Somebody make them stop, wight now !”
I pity Rhode Island. They went from having the best Governor in a century (Carcieri) to the worst in its history (Missing Linc).
RINO senator from New England loses, leaves the party and becomes governor. Hmm, where have we seen this before? Anyways, I don’t need to read the garbage that comes from his mouth.
Yup, Missing Linc is Weicker Deux, Merde Boogaloo.
lmao
100% agree! DC was a fine governor. Too bad the biggest, dumbest lefty won the governorship.
And as bad as Taxachsett$ is, RI is worse. Plus, there are no jobs there at all.
Sorta the opposite in Maine. Baldacci was bad I don't know if he was the worst. Were any of the Republicans in recent decades conservatives?
You mean in RI or ME ?
Maine.
Well, since 1960, there have only been 2 Republican Governors prior to LePage. Jock McKernan, Olympia’s (second) husband, is a RINO and didn’t leave much of a mark (one problem for us is that Gov. LePage, although a Conservative, was friends with Olympia’s first husband, the late Peter Snowe, and he won’t actively oppose her reelection as a result). John Reed, who was Governor from 1959-67 (and is still alive, having turned 90 back on Jan 5th), was regarded as a moderate-to-liberal, but a pro-Vietnam hawk, although oddly lost reelection in 1966 despite the anti-Dem landslide. LBJ appointed him to the NTSB when he was defeated.
I probably have a higher opinion of the late Jim Longley, Sr., who served a single term in the ‘70s. He was a former Democrat who ran as an Independent (beating none other than George Mitchell). LePage is probably closer in spirit to Longley than either Reed or McKernan.
