Chaffee on NPR
Did anyone else catch the NPR story on Sen. Lincoln Chaffee (RI), the other day? Listen here.
According to NPR, Chaffee didn't even vote for George W. Bush in 2004 -- instead, writing in the name, "George Herbert Walker Bush."
And it's well known that Chaffee voted against the War in Iraq. Yet, establishment Republicans in Washington are pouring in thousands of dollars to prop up Chaffee, and defeat his more conservative Primary opponent.
So what do you think? Should our Republican Party be propping up this RINO? Is it a smart, pragmatic strategy to support a moderate Republican in Rhode Island? Or are we selling out by propping him up?
