Lincoln Chafee

While I’ve made it clear that I stand with the Republican party on some foreign policy issues, I remain a supporter of the Democratic party — and I’ve made that clear. For the first time, I’m going to come out in favor of a Republican.

I know the basic argument against me — “how can you claim to be a Democrat if you won’t support [Democrats] Sheeler or Whitehouse?” — I support the best candidate, in all circumstances. Period. That’s why I’m supporting Joe Lieberman in Connecticut.

In interest of keeping the Blue State Observer “family-friendly,” Steve Laffey is a class-A jerk — look, to be honest, with all respect to the Empire State, Laffey acts more like an angry New Yorker than someone from the great New England region.

Lincoln Chafee seems to be on of the last great Republicans. You know, if the Republicans went more on where the party’s roots are, than the neocon agenda, I’d put on the biggest elephant tie and straw hat in New England. Whatever happened to less government? The Republican party gives a bigger damn what Chuck and Tom do in their bedroom than the financial standing of the American people. During the recent debate between Chafee and Laffey, Chafee made it clear that he is a REPUBLICAN — the kind who is against tax cuts if it’s bad for the economy, and doesn’t really give a damn what Chuck and Tom are doing.

Call me a Chafee-Republican if you want — a breed that hasn’t been seen since the Reagan revolution.

Comic relief, perhaps?

Hello, my name is Michael. I’m from the beautiful state of Arizona. I live in a suburb of Phoenix where we are currently enjoying a nice, temperate day of 103 degrees which is, yes, below average for us. Enough of my weather woes. I’m a self-styled moderate, with political views all over the board. If you need a crude way to categorize my political tendencies, then call me a Christian Democrat. Yeah, we still exist. I was invited to blog here by my rommate from the Governor’s Conference, Ben. I will be a fairly infrequent poster here, what with my gubernatorial duties, a job, school, etc. If McCain gets into any hijinks, I’ll probably be here to give you my opinion. And our Stat’es own Gubernatorial election is this year, which should prove to be an interesting race. So, with that, I bid you have a good day and happy blogging.
