Democrat Lincoln Chafee, the former U.S. Senator and Governor of Rhode Island has plenty to say in this article.

Stop the Trolls will most likely advocate the abridgement of First Amendment rights again.

Once again: What, exactly, do ANY of your right-wing posts have to do with this region? And what's wrong with writing letters to the Palo Alto Daily Rag? After all, they print letters from just about everyone...

Maybe Hank/Mike would like to move forward on campaign finance reform.

No? Then shut up about Hillary playing the system that has billionaires buying up republican presidential candidates by the handful.

Even as a moderate republican, I give Chafee credit, as he opposed the Bush tax cuts that ruined Clinton's balanced budgets, and Chafee opposed the Iraq war, something the centrist Clinton didn't do.

What America needs is a progressive candidate -- even though centrist Obama helped America recover from the republican 2nd Great Depression, we have a lot more work to do.

"Clinton overwhelms Chafee in the latest CNN/ORC poll, with 69 percent compared to Chafee’s 1 percent."

So, troll, which (billionaire-bought and paid for) republican can beat Clinton?

Hillary shares a disturbing character trait with the current president. That is, she displays an unquenchable desire for ever higher office and position despite having no idea or even interest in what she should do once she acquires it. Like Obama, her stunning failures or, at best, lack of success at anything she has put her hand to except angling for position is no deterrent to thinking she should rise even higher.

The big difference between Obama and her is that Obama was a good actor, pretending to be charming and personable. Hillary doesn't even bother because she can't pull it off. She comes off as putting on a phony face as a formality to get this campaigning drudgery behind her and get on with the coronation.

I grieve for our culture that produces immoral narcissists who seek power for its own sake, to satisfy their own sense of greatness, futilely compensating for an innate hollowness that can only be filled by God. Most of the "electable" candidates in our political landscape today are the exact opposite of the character our founders hoped we would seek in our leaders, while the few who do display it are branded "extreme" and "on the fringe," deemed "unelectable" simply because they think leaders ought to have principle, and government ought to live within its means and mind it's own constitutionally limited business.

"I grieve for our culture that produces immoral narcissists who seek power for its own sake, to satisfy their own sense of greatness, futilely compensating for an innate hollowness that can only be filled by God"

Dick Cheney?

George Bush? I know - hilarious, right?

Hmmmm... "government ought to live within its means"

Nope. After all, Cheney/Bush was handed a budget surplus from Clinton and squandered it, running America's first trillion dollar deficit.

Clinton creates 23 million jobs, Cheny/Bush leaves office losing 800,000 jobs a month.

It takes Republicans to REALLY mess up an economy.

@stopthetrolls: It's too bad that the poster of these demented diatribes cannot think an original thought. They are cut and pasted from other sources - consistently. This one was from the disqus forum over at redstate. Web Link

Such noise.

redstate - the very home of the far right fringe.

Oh, goodie! There's yet another book that hits the Clintons by making s*** up about them, due to be released this week.

And another due next week.

And another due the following week.

And another due the following week.

And another due the following week.

And another due the following week.

And another due the following week.

And another due the following week.

Thru October 2016.

Kind of like the dozens of supposed GOP presidential "candidates" who (it's a miracle!) also have a book coming out!

It's about a bunch "immoral narcissists who seek power for its own sake" and, well, you might as well buy a copy of my new book while you are here!!!!!!!!!

hehehheh

When I say that posts like these have no use on a board like this, this is what I am talking about.

So what does this "issue" have to do with events in this area, anyways???
