I’m so happy that this piece of crap lost that I could throw a party. He stood for and stands for nothing. He is a RHINO in every sense of the word and I honestly hope that America never hears from him again.

NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on December 12, 2006 at 9:02 PMWhat Nemeti said. Judas Chafee is a poster child for birth control.

Chaffee is a tool. Stewart is a nipple and the audience are sheep.

Sometimes you do win when you lose, Bye Bye Linky-boy…

Followed closely by Chafee’s puzzlement that Republican primaries tend to run conservative and Democratic primaries liberal.

He’s perpetually puzzled and in need for approval, like one of those rich, spoiled, psycho and kept women in Hollywood, Rancho Santa Fe/CA, or Santa Fe/NM, etc.

Oh look, a birdie!

Killer laugh for the day. Thanks Pablo!

Twits feel indignant.

Stewart blames politicians for ruining America. I blame Stewart for ruining the minds of the already commonsense deprived college students.

When I was an art student in college, I had a professor that loved to push the notion of “critical thinking”, everything could be figured out if we applied “critical thinking”. She used John Stewart as an example of someone that used “critical thinking” to come to the right conclusions.

Now, I liked this professor, she was very nice, and didn’t mind my constant challenging of her typical liberal assertions. But one time, working on a project, I let “too much of my personal feelings show through my work”. I was told, to go do some “critical thinking” about how to “fix” it. I left it alone.

The following class, when pressed about why I decided to leave it, I told her: “I decided to do some critical thinking, and when I critically thought, I only thing I could think, is you’re an ass.

I got an A.

Good Riddance. Do you think Chafee could do one right thing and support the good job Bolton has done the past couple years? No, he remains defiant and a jerk until the end. Well, Linc, you RINO, the end is near, you got you butt kicked on Nov 7t ……..

Because my father was a Republican, which put the RI Republican apparatus, such as it is, at my disposal.

Good call, Pablo. Pure opportunism in a vacuous package. “I knew I couldn’t keep shoeing horses, cause they always kick me in the head. Didn’t know how to do anything else, so I ran for Senate.”

But what an idiotic observation about the primaries. The guy is inarguably the single most out-of-step Republican, so the question isn’t “why don’t the parties accept dissenting views?”, but “why on earth do you run as a Republican?” The other 53 at least had some sense of purpose and ideology, and they had widely divergent opinions on lots of issues.

R-RI made less sense than Zell Miller, Democrat.

The funny part is Linc demonstrating that he was further left on national defense than almost all the Democrats. Heh.

As usual, the low point is Stewart’s moronic audience hooting on cue.

I beg to disagree. The low point was when Lincoln Chafee opened his mouth.

Followed closely by Chafee’s puzzlement that Republican primaries tend to run conservative and Democratic primaries liberal.

Actually, I agree with Chafee on this issue about the primary system in America (and I don’t think Chafee was puzzled about it). It forces Democrats to go hard left and Republicans to go hard right. Then both Democrat and Republican nominees move toward the center in the general election.

I’m not a Californian, but if I remember correctly, Schwarzenegger would have had no chance of being Governor if he had to win a Republican primary. But since it was thrown open to everyone with the Gray Davis recall, Arnold ran and was far and away the winner.

I’m not sure what the solution is to the primary system. Open primaries sound good on paper, but there would seem to be a great opportunity for mischief, with Democrats voting for the Republican they think is least electable in the primary, and vice versa for Republicans and Democrats.

It’s a shame, too. Jon Stewart could be funny. But, he has turned into another Lance Ito – unwilling to wrest control of his own venue.

Perhaps you meant his “own domain”?

Why are you a Republican?

Because my father was a Republican.

What does it mean to be a Republican?

It means I have an R after my name, and that George Bush cost me my Senate seat.

What are the 5 most important issues facing our country right now and where do you stand on those 5 issues?

War: bad
Taxes: Too low
Pollution: bad
George Bush: bad
Oh look, a birdie!

What is the Republican party’s stance on those 5 issues?

WRONG!!!

Why are you a Republican?

Because my father was a Republican, which put the RI Republican apparatus, such as it is, at my disposal.

Now I block it because of the live AUDIENCES. I could almost watch the shows if it weren’t for the braying of the audiences.

It’s a shame, too. Jon Stewart could be funny. But, he has turned into another Lance Ito – unwilling to wrest control of his own venue.

Stewart’s question about the parties (in this case voters) being so picky about their politicians believing the same things they do is really dumb too, if not disingenuous (ie, he really means why do the Republicans have to be so doctrinaire).

He claims that the worst error made by the Democrats post-9/11 was “rushing to war”, “falling in line”. The patient is terminal, pull the plug.

Too close to sane to run as a Democrat today … unless he is a blue-dog mercenary running in the South.

sort of an airhead.

Sort of? Nope, I do believe it’s full blown.
