What do you think that that little weasel will be doing in the real world? Has he ever earned a dime in the private sector?

[dirtboy]

For all those who say we need RINOs in the party - here is exhibit A why we do not. And I'm not talking about moderate Republicans - I am talking flaming liberals who still have the (R) next to their name.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

For Chafee to go this far is beyond despicable.

[Tribemike]

Certainly the party would have held out for a tradeoff like a concession on this before spending those millions on his sorry campaign...........

Also notice how Spector helped Santorum and Warner helped Allen....

Chaffee's stance is outrageous though....he has no scruples at all and we all know where he can go....

[bmwcyle]

We must also count our blessing.

[paratrooper82]

I'm sure going to miss that Chafee.

NOT!

Any wonder why the Republican party got its head cut off?

We are not finished yet cleaning house!

Spector, Graham, McCain, and a few other RINO's need to get booted too, right along with the liberal socialist Chafee.

[Crawdad]

Isn't it time for a good old Clinton-like smear-job on this guy?

[jbarkley]

What an ungrateful POS.

[Dane]

Can't they just boot him off the committee and put someone else on.

It' like it's not going to matter, since lincy is out in January anyways.

[fortheDeclaration]

Can't he be yanked from that position?

[Mo1]

The republicans should throw him out of the party now and strip him of his place on the committee

The jerk is gone in January .. so who cares if he gets mad

[Howie66]

It's EXACTLY because of people like Chaffee.....Snowe.....Collins.....Graham......McCain.....Frist....and Hastert the the RATs are now in the majority.

IF the GOP is going to survive, the these weak-kneed, milquetoast RINOS need to be purged fron OUR ranks.

IF one is NOT a ROCK SOLID REAGAN CONSERVATIVE, they need to GO!

[ustanker]

I'm so glad that P.O.S. lost. Wonder why "W" could not see what all of us see? He deserves whatever he gets. Hope he doesn't kiss Pelosi's or Reids feet to much!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

He's a spikeful, sniveling little b$tch that needs to get one last shot it. Kinda like the jerk who get kicked out by his wife and puts a boot to the dog on the way out.

F this RAT lovin turd and be happy he can go back to Load Island and shrivel into darkness.

Glad to see that the conservatives have pruged the congress of the RINOS on this go round, even if it cost control for the next two years. Watch the RINOS who are up for reelect in 08 start trying to "get right with the Right or get left with the Left"^TM Hey that should be out battle cry for the next two years.

[Mr. Brightside]

A key Senate Republican has joined Democrats in opposing one of Bush's initiatives for the lame-duck Congress

I stopped reading there. A "key" Senate Republican and a "lame-duck" Congress?

Lincoln Chaffee is more "lame duck" than the Republicans in Congress.

[zook]

Bush can't recess appoint Bolton to the post again. But could he leave the position open and recess appoint him to the Asst. Sec. position? Thus leaving him in place? If this is possible, it would send a good message to those who had any doubts about who is running the show.

[thelastvirgil]

Given that we'll never get any kind of term limit legislation out of this "grand" body, I have another suggestion: A congressman, regardless of his or her tenure should be eligible for retirement benefits if he or she actually retires. Leaving office via the ballot bax would disqualify them for any bennies whatsoever. This might, in a few cases, give incentive for early retirement to some who are only in it for themselves to begin with. There could be an additional proviso that any former member that goes to work for a lobbying firm would first have to reimburse the taxpayers for every penny in salary they were paid during their terms. I'll not hold my breath.

[dinoparty]

The radically liberal Republican. Hopefully the last of a dead breed.

[Lurking in Kansas]

The best news from Tuesday was this idiot losing. He was a classic example of a RINO.

[SueRae]

What if we appoint no one to the UN post? Can't we just cut off funding as well? Eff em.
