Chafee and Dewine---Let's Draw the Line!

[Dr.Hilarious]

Chafee is such a milquetoast. He reeks of Jefford-stink.

He's like Voinovich without tears.

[Paleo Conservative]

Sen. Lincoln Chafee's vote Wednesday against the nomination of Priscilla Owen has made it clear that, save for leadership numbers games, conservatives would not be any worse off with a Democrat than with Chafee (R., R.I.) in the Senate.

Actually Chafee could be worse. He could pull a Jeffords move in the middle of a session of Congress. I'd rather know up front at the beginning of the session where Republicans stand in terms of numbers for support of leadership and important bills.

I don't think it's very likely at all that a more conservative Republican would get elected in Rhode Island. In fact, I don't think that a Republican like Chafee would get elected to the U.S. Senate from Rhode Island these days, had he not inherited the power of incumbency. But, the question is whether the GOP wants a Republican who contributes little more than provide cover for the Dems on key issues. Whenever you hear the statement "some Republicans joined Democrats" or "some Republicans share Democrats' concerns" or whatever, the "some Republicans" usually means "Chafee, and perhaps McCain"..

All the donations I made to the NRSC will now go directly to defeating RINOS like Chafee. The RINOS are about to have a political can of whoop ass opened up on them. WE WILL NOT FORGET!
