The truth is that Lieberman didn't buy into the one issue that unifies all the single-issue factions of the Democratic party, that George W Bush is pure evil. Chaffee, on the other hand, has annoyed his constituency for misrepresenting them time and time again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18740044.post-1157138771904207132006-09-01T15:26:00.000-04:002006-09-01T15:26:00.000-04:00Chaffee is a RINO R much hated by the insane "Club...<I>Chaffee is a RINO R much hated by the insane "Club for Growth" zealots in the Republican party. In a way, he is getting the boot for the same reasons Lieberman got the boot. Bush and Rove have taken the middle ground out of American politics. Lieberman was too loyal to the failed President - the right wing nut jobs who are purging Chaffee don't think he was loyal enough.</I><BR/><BR/>This is hilarious. You're trying to project what you and the nutroots did to 90% Joe Lieberman onto 10% Lincoln Chafee. Not the same. The NRSC is running ads attacking Laffey and has brought in people from all over the Northeast to do a 72-hour plan for Chafee. All this for a guy who did not support Bush's reelection, voted against cloture on Alito and generally votes with the Dems in every case. Contrast this with Lieberman, who was the D VP candidate in 00 and had about a 90% record with D's, but got no support from the DSCC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
