When will Sen. Lincoln Chaffee endorse Kerry?
I don't think it's a question of if, but a question of when.

Someone posted this article, from Salon. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/03/26/moderates/index_np.html

Take the time to get a free one day pass, it has lots of interesting information inside. For example, this nice quotes from Chaffee:

"
<snip>

When the president was elected, everyone was looking for a breath of fresh air -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- for the good of the country we wanted a bipartisan effort," Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., tells Salon. "We were all so weary of partisan trench warfare, and now it is deeper than ever."

"The president's agenda has been so different from his campaign rhetoric," Chafee says. "He is pushing an extreme agenda, from the abandonment of Kyoto, to banning access to abortions for service members overseas."

<snip>

Moderates, says Chafee, "could have made a huge difference to the president," had he not abandoned them and tried to "bludgeon them into compliance."

1. Yippee!!!
Another Bonesman that we can all bow down too, Chafee. That's just great! We'll just see who "skull and bones" endorses this time around...see which one of these Elites we bow down to and get screwed over by next. They're just playing their good cop/bad cop games with us, or some bait and switch here and there. That's all...

I'm sick and tired of all these skull and bones jerks. Sick of elitist aristocrats running this country, and trying to form stupid little secretive groups trying to consolidate even more money and power. It's such bullshit. This isn't how the country is supposed to be. Can't understand why the public is excepting all this monkey business. No more bonesman, no thank you!

3. I like Chalfees attatude though
with shrub. Just try me. Not much love loss there.

Actually it would be great if Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe would follow suit and lash out at bu$hco too.
