What Does Patriotism Look Like?

Lincoln Chafee for Green Party Governor

Chafee 2010!!!!!

[51455]

"Republican" Sen. Lincoln Chafee was a DNC mole, just like his father.

"The meek shalt enherit the earth", we can only hope..

[admiraljello]

Senator Chafee was one of the last Republicans that I respected. I still call myself a Republican to honor those of the older generation: Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge (both of them), Eisenhower, and even Bush Sr.

Despite living on the opposite ocean from Rhode Island, I still proudly have a "Lincoln Chafee for Senate 2006" bumper sticker on my car.

@admiraljello The Republican Party has moved further to the right. But the Democratic Party has lost most "purple" districts in this election and will be dominated by the Progressive Caucus in Congress.

If we want civil discourse--it certainly won't be with Biden on the ticket.

especially when he gets rattled and on the defensive---he is impossible.

Hillary would have been the preferred choice--but Bill would have none of it apparently.

Looking to 2012 perhaps..

as for Linky Chafee--he is a non-starter.

Terrible speaker--non-command presence, and

a very pathetic soul.

What a complete opposite from his father..

a great senator for RI..along w/

John Pastore.

[km2711]

Oh brother...what a poor excuse for a representative from R.I.

He rightfully lost the election to Sheldon Whitehouse..and who could blame Rhode Islanders?

He really is pathetic--and on preacticallyt every issue..from almost crying when Condy Rice couldn't say "one good thing' about Hugo Chavez, to his pathetic votes on Supreme Ct. nominees, etc., etc.

His poor father HAS TO BE TURNING over when listening to Linc's blatherings..

[PrimusGladius]

Chafee was a Republican at the time of his reelection. he lost because of that fact. 2006, there was strong anti-Republican sentiment and that's why they lost congress. No surprise he lost in a State that hasn't voted Republican since Reagen.

That said he's still popular here and is a strong canidate for Governer or in the Senate again in 2012.

[km2711]

Chafee will continue to be a pathetic individual politcally--the Republican label is ONLY there because of the great legacy he inherited from his father. Poor John--how he must look down on all of this.

R.I. of course will vote Dem for most any election..that's just a fact.

However, the fact that little Linky still calls himself that is a non-sequitur.

Just his weak and vapid looking appearance makes many shudder.

The 2 RI Senate Dems, for now, are just fine.

The left is reeling-OK!

[PrimusGladius]

He's been an Independent since 2007.

Yes! Thank you. McCain/Palin is a frightening and dangerous prospect both at home and abroad.

[lyngranata]

Hi Linc, love the cocky whacko comment, that couldn't be better! Obama is a great person, and i'm glad you're backing him. I believe the country is ready for a change, and Obama will make a good president.

[ydaltarf]

This country needs a change, and by now it should be time for them to be accepting of a black president. Not an idiot like Sarah Palin who has nothing except "Little House on the Praire" view points. Bravo to Lincoln Chafee, he is the greatest. Anybody who doesn't agree with him should be doomed for eternal damnation. For the McCain/Palin ticket would be a disaster, and George Bush is a choir boy compared to what they'd be. If they win, the country will go backwards 100 years,

[libarbarian]

Sarah Palin is proof that the GOP now is the heirs of the 60s leftists they despise.

[intrahood]

Finally a voice of reason.

McCain/Palin would be DISASTER for the US, both at home and abroad.

[jazzence]

Yes Lincoln! Thank you for speaking your mind, since so many others choose not to. It amazes that people are even taking McCain/Palin seriously. They offer no policies, just lip service.

[SuzInKS]

cocky whacko! LOL! I could not agree more! People like Lincoln Chafee are the reason I joined the Republican party in 1979. Politicians like Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Dick Cheney, and slimey operatives like Karl Rove are the reasons I LEFT the Republican party in 2000. Now I vote the straight Democratic ticket. We'll never get decency back in politics as long as Rove-like tactics continue. We need to slap these yahoos down HARD! Vote Obama/Biden and vote for civil discourse again!!!!!
