Former U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) discusses his candid and smart political memoir, which calls on Republicans to return to their traditional principles of fiscal conservatism, respect for the environment and aversion to foreign entanglements.

  • 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.

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

  • @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.

  • Lincoln Chafee for Green Party Governor

    Chafee 2010!!!!!

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

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

  • watch the first youtube elections on my channel

  • 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.

  • He's been an Independent since 2007.

  • 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!

  • 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.
