People keep repeating that even he will consider it.

CHAFEE REITERATES HIS OPPOSITION TO
CENSURE RESOLUTION

WASHINGTON, D.C. – “As I stated on Tuesday, I do not support Senator Russell Feingold’s resolution to censure the President. In a news article, the Povidence Journal reporter chose to interpret the notion that I will not rule out the censure of any president in any number of hypothetical circumstances as an endorsement of the drastic censure resolution currently being offered in the Senate. This is misleading considering my recent comments on this issue. From the first mention of this resolution, I have never expressed support for it. I have joined colleagues on both sides of the aisle in calling for a vigorous dialogue about the balance between civil liberties and national security. I believe that as the only bodies authorized to be briefed on the full range of the wiretapping program, the House and Senate Intelligence Committees must conduct the necessary oversight, reach a final conclusion and make recommendations. I stand by that position.”

2. The projo
was bought out by a "Texas Corporation" several years ago.

Chafee's quirky. He's in a nail biting fight to maintain his seat and has Rove promoting some lacky from Cranston to unseat him in the primary before going against two if not three formidable Democratic opponants.

To his credit, he has crossed party lines several times though. He voted against IWR and was I think the only Repub to do so.

He shouldn't be abandoned by the party faithful based on his several votes of conscience. Heck this is a deeply blue state, but many folks are still intensely loyal to his dad.

4. So what is news about this....
Linc Chafee wobbles back and forth like a flagpole during a thunderstorm,wobbling back and forth,back and forth,to and fro. He can be relied on to vote against his own interets when and wherever the GOP needs him to act like a Republican.:mad:
