Lord Bless Lincoln Chafee!

[del]

Lincoln Chafee is the only Republican that has any testicular fortitude! He is the original maverick! I have a lot of respect for this man, and it is rare for me to endorse any Republican! CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Former GOP senator calls Palin a ‘cocky wacko’ - Blogs from CNN.com

Lincoln Chafee is walking/semi-talking proof that close relatives shouldn't procreate-even in Rhode Island.

Yeah, right. It takes so much courage to call a woman a name. The integrity and skills of this RINO should be praised.

Seriously, do you Cons ever get dates with real women, and not those just stockholm-sydrome conservative submissive republican Stepford wives? Do you even understand real women?

Calling her a cocky whacko is a gender neutral insult. Its not sexist. Any qualified politician needs to be prepared to have thick skin and weather some harshness. Yeah, the insult was kind of childish. But, do you think Palin is a fragile little alaskan beauty queen who needs to be protected from hardball politics, by chivalrous republican males? What a crock.

Such chivalrous republican males, like Rudy Giuliani.

Rudy Giuliani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Personally, this is my favorite.

On May 10, 2000, Giuliani called a press conference to announce that he intended to separate from Hanover.[191][192] Hanover, however, had not been told about his plans before his press conference,[193] an omission for which Giuliani was widely criticized.

First, I think Governor Palin loves it... as every leftist that advances these screeds seems to run her poll numbers up... But with that said, if Governor Palin were here, I'd enjoy watching her clean these anti-Americans up...

She of course is NOT here thus we're faced with either letting these supercilious screeds to go unchecked or driving them over the fence when and wherever they're pitched. Now personally, I'm more of a fence driver...

ROFLMNAO... Well THERE's your problem... Why don't you cite a 'true conservative' principle that Chaffe is known to have prmoted...

I don't know, Pub. Do these sound consevative to you?

Looks to me, (I cheated and looked at the whole list) like he leans to the liberal side on most social issues, and is mixed on business and taxation issues.

Except, he isn't a leftist. He is a true conservative.

You've either lost your damn mind or you have no earthly idea what a "true" conservative is.

This is not a conservative record.

For one fiscal is only one part of political conservancy(the most important IMO, but nonetheless, only one. Two, please demonstrate fiscal conservancy in the page that I posted.

I don't have a problem with stem cell research, I take issue with embryonic stem cell research. As for less intrusion, of course, but the last time I checked, your Green Party did not have that anywhere on there platform.

You my friend are either illiterate or just plain stupid. Nowhere in my statement did i make any sort of claim that his statement was sexist. I simply pointed out that it's oh so courageous to insult a woman.

However, Im not sure why im bothering. I doubt you'll get it this time. You dont want to.
