So What's New About This?

-Frank Salvato

Senate Democrats gained a Republican ally in their opposition to the President’s tax cut plan: frequent Democratic collaborator Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island. Chafee and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., unveiled a proposal that would block the reduction in the top income tax rate unless there is a budget surplus. Chafee, Democrat along the lines of the idiot who gave power back to the Democrats in the Senate last election frequently strays from his party. He was one of only two Republicans who voted against Bush's 2001 tax cut.

Would it surprise anyone if this jackass switched parties during the current session of congress? It wouldn’t surprise me at all. With the mainstream Republican Party redefining itself to accept moderation on some subjects while standing firm on our basic principles it would seem that more and more of the moderate Republicans from before the realignment are starting to show their true colors, their closeted Democratic colors. As with anything that needs maintenance, I guess we have to purge the rolls every now and again. Now if we could only do it with the mainstream media, the “alphabet media” as it were, we would all be better off.

Senator Lincoln Chafee (D-RI) is often found siding with the Democrats when it comes down to critical votes in the Senate.
