Chafee will vote against Alito

PROVIDENCE -- U.S. Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee announced this morning that he will vote against the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the Supreme Court.

In a statement issued at a press conference this morning, the Rhode Island Republican said he was "greatly concerned" about some of Alito's philosophies.

Chafee described himself as a "pro-choice, pro-Bill of Rights" Republican, in explaining his decision against Alito.

Chafee is the next Jeffords you can take that to the bank. He really really needs to go.

I just sent money to Laffey. Now, how can we make sure that the NRSC knows that?

Somebody must defeat Chafee and sending campaign money to Laffey is a good place to start. The GOP should refuse to give him even one cent. Chafee's no better than the rest of those pandering leftists.
