Chafee switched to essentially increase his fundraising potential for his second term. He admitted so.
Personally, I am not surprised by this, but I believe he is in trouble for re-election anyways because he is quite unpopular in the state. This does set up an interesting primary, though, for RI governor on the Democratic side. Chafee will likely face competition from Mayor Tavaras and possibly Treasurer Raimondo.
Thank you for confirming your historical ignorance. That seems to be par for the course with you guys.
No, the tradition of the Republican Party was most certainly not this Tea Bagger/Randite Libertarian nonsense. That is why you are the "RINO's."
Wow, nothing to do with history, yet I'm historically ignorant. I guess when one is confused it's best to make everyone else as confused as you seem to be.
So, I'm a Tea Bagger Randite Libertarian RINO That's like saying I'm a progressive liberal conservative who believes in larger smaller government, the constitution, and bill of rights.
Holy $hit I'm special!
You got one right, I'm just a Libertarian, and proud of the fact.
In other words, a RINO is someone who doesn't follow the part line and reject science, the effects of fiscal stimulus/austerity, reject the fact that fiscal and monetary expansion is indeed expansionary or that tax-cuts don't increase revenues.
This is exactly how both parties became the same progressive cancer forced on us, regardless which direction we think we are going, we always get the same thing
He was not a moderate. He was as leftist as you can imagine.
Hilarious how you leftards try to say that leftist ideology is "moderate."
He was for the clean water act, disabilities act, food stamps but he was against food stamps and the war on poverty and he was a hawk during Vietnam, he was moderate something in short supply today with the GOP. Make your case that those qualities makes someone extreme left.
The Republican party is fast becoming irrelevant. It is completely collapsing from within. The past few election cycles it has been made clear that if you aren't part of the radical Christian Right, you have no place in the Republican party. Hopefully soon the Democratic Party will split giving us a viable second party. Democrats are united by social liberalism but are split on fiscal issues.
