How much did his vote cost the DNC ??? A new yacht, perhaps?
The side thing is, my Freeper friend, he's about the most Conservative Republican that would ever get elected in his state these days.....
sigh......
Chafee's being himself.
How about Robert KKK Byrd voting for?
THE meat of his DISAGREEMENT....
No nominee can win enough support to preclude filibuster threats when the values of the individual members are so polar opposite. It's an impossiblity. What Chaffee really wants is for Bush to nominate judges that agree with him and the Democrats -- the minority in the senate. He doesn't give a flip about the support of the majority. He wants the majority to concede.
He may be "Left Wing" in some parts of the country. But almost everyone in RI is to the Left of him.
"two Democrats, Sen. Robert Byrd, W.Va., and Sen. Mary Landrieu, La., crossing party lines to support her."
These jerkoffs support her and the pub (I use the term very loosely) that signed the agreement didn't. Oh, man, where can I find a paddle? (rhetorical)
Chafee is better than nothing. He's far better than Kerry and Kennedy next door.
It ain't easy being a lib.
You have to believe that a pregnant 12 year-old can get an abortion without consulting her parents, although schools may not dispense so much as an aspirin without parental approval.
You also have to believe that if a "fetus" (the name the libs always use to distract the sheeple from the fact that it's a human baby) -- even a full-term "fetus" -- has any part of its body still remaining inside the mother, that it is perfectly acceptable to stick a sharp instrument into the skull of the "fetus" causing a large wound to occur, from which the brains of the "fetus" can be conveniently removed with a vacuum cleaner.
Furthermore, you have to believe that, even though the vast majority of Americans strongly disagree with these beliefs, any judges who agree with the majority are somehow "out of the mainstream" of American thought. Kind of like what Yogi said when asked about a certain restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore--it's too crowded."
If she had cited French and Dutch court decisions, Chafee would have led the fight to make her Chief Justice.
More disgusting than McCain. More disgusting than Byrd. That's pretty d*mn disgusting.
How did he survive his father's support for Partial Birth Abortion?
